Bourbon Mixer 2015, Mixes Bourbon Brotherhood, Whisky Chicks and a Great Cause

On Saturday, August 15 2015 the 2nd annual Bourbon Mixer will take place between the Bourbon Brotherhood, the Whisky Chicks and eight participating distilleries. All this is happening for a good time and to raise money for a local charity.

The 2015 Bourbon Mixer promises to combine great Bourbon with upscale southern cuisine in a spirited atmosphere catering to both bourbon aficionados and enthusiasts. The event will include an open bar, Bourbon tastings, food pairings, a silent auction and will host some of the most esteemed individuals from the Bourbon industry including guests from Heaven Hill, Beam Suntory, Old Forester, Woodford Reserve, Bulleit Frontier Whiskey, Makers Mark, Buffalo Trace and Four Roses.

Each participating distillery will be sharing their passion for Kentucky’s native spirit along with samples chosen just for this evening. Attendees will have the opportunity to bid on wide variety of auction items including one-of-a-kind Bourbon experiences and rare bottles of whisky.
