Kentucky Bourbon Festival is only weeks away, so this week we're opening one of our favourite festival finds.

It's a Burton James Single Barrel Wheated Bourbon selected for Kentucky Bourbon Festival, and while we enjoy it we share our biggest tips for anyone making the trip to Bardstown.

From avoiding queues and pacing yourself to taking notes, staying hydrated and making time to meet people, these are the things we've learned after several Kentucky Bourbon Festivals.

If you're heading over this year, we hope these tips help you get even more out of an incredible weekend.
