At the heart of the Bourbon Classic are its signature events, such as the Cocktail & Culinary Challenge, where top bartenders and chefs come together to create innovative cocktails and small plates that complement the flavors of bourbon. For those looking to dive deeper into the history and craftsmanship of this beloved spirit, the Bourbon University offers educational sessions covering everything from distilling techniques to tasting notes. Finally, the TASTE event gives guests the rare opportunity to sample a wide array of bourbons, meet renowned master distillers, and enjoy gourmet dishes from some of the finest restaurants.

Since its launch in 2013, the Bourbon Classic has quickly gained a reputation as one of the top bourbon events in the country. It was honored by Travel & Leisure as one of the “7 Best Cocktail Festivals Around the Country” and received national recognition in USA Today for its cocktail competitions. With its unique blend of hands-on experiences, exceptional tastings, and educational sessions, the Bourbon Classic truly offers a bourbon experience like no other. Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon lover or just beginning your journey, this event is one you won’t want to miss.
