March Bourbon U .... KY Bourbon School
@ The Kentucky Castle 230 Pisgah Pike, Versailles, KY • $35/ea
The 2nd Wednesday & 4th Sunday through all of 2019!
"Bourbon University"
is now "KY Bourbon School"
The government is getting picky about using the words "university" or "college" without accreditation so we needed to change the event name.
Dive deep into details you won’t typically learn on the distillery tours & join us each month for a different bourbon experience at the Kentucky Castle.
From the dark days of the 1970s and 80s, bourbon has risen to unprecedented heights today.
A few stats:
More than 1,000,000 tourist stops at Kentucky Bourbon distilleries the last two years,
Since the turn of the century Kentucky Bourbon production has skyrocketed more than 315 percent to 1,886,821 barrels in 2016, and
More than $2 billion in capital projects has been completed or is planned and underway in the past five years and the next five years, including new distilleries and aging warehouses to bottling facilities and tourism centers.
(Statistics courtesy the Kentucky Distillers’ Association)
With over 60 active and planned distilleries in Kentucky, the question is: how did Bourbon get so big?
In this class, we’ll look at the premiumization of Bourbon; the introduction of single barrel bottlings, small batch offerings and limited releases; Bourbon tourism; plus craft and experimental products and ‘near Bourbons.’ We’ll trace a line from Elmer T. Lee and Booker Noe through new concepts like second maturation and unusual grains to the plethora of options available to consumers today.
Why is Bourbon back? Come taste and learn!
