Kentucky’s finest native spirit has taken

over the planet in recent years. We know

about the limestone water, the climate and

the heritage that make Kentucky bourbon

such an icon in the spirits industry. But

what about those grains, the magic kernels

that transform branch water to gold? Join

us for a wide-ranging dinner lecture by

executive director, Dr. Paul Cappiello,

covering the natural history, the

botany and the chemistry that make

these iconic grains the stuff of myth and

magic. Enjoy specialty bourbon cocktails,

a luscious dinner and lecture right in

the heart of the distillery, a behind the

scenes tour, plus a bourbon tasting

led by Head Distiller, Jade Peterson

of Kentucky Artisan Distillery the home of

Jefferson’s Bourbon.
