Bardstown’s Kentucky Bourbon Festival was recently reinvented and now offers whiskey enthusiasts more than ever before.

From unlimited pours of a diverse range of whiskey styles to festival-exclusive barrel picks and masterclasses to live music, the festival is a true bucket-list event for whiskey enthusiasts, connoisseurs, and collectors.

Distillers old and new, commercial and crafty were all in attendance at the 2023 show, pouring for attendees who had flown in from all over the United States and beyond.
