Countdown Begins to Kentucky Bourbon Affair Golden Ticket Release

Kentucky Bourbon Affair - Golden Ticket, June 6 to 11, 2018

“They’re at the post…”

In Kentucky, they say the limestone water that flows through the creeks, rivers and lakes is good for two things; building strong bones in Kentucky thoroughbred horses and distilling Kentucky bourbon whiskey. Just like the Kentucky thoroughbreds that have a reputation as the fastest horses in the world, the Kentucky Bourbon Affairs coveted Golden Tickets have built up their own reputation as one of the fastest selling distilled spirits tickets in the world.

“They’re off!”

The Kentucky Bourbon Affair, now in its 5th year, is the only event hosted by the Kentucky Distillers’ Association and the distillers themselves. This year’s Bourbon Fantasy Camp is a six day event that takes place June 5 – 10, 2018. The Affair includes exclusive experiences at the world’s most iconic distilleries, nightcap events featuring top chefs and the company of Bourbon Barons and Master Distillers, rare tastings and souvenir bottles of bourbon.

A limited supply of Golden Tickets go on sale Thursday, February 1 at 12:00pm Eastern Time. This year’s Golden Tickets are $1,900 and include 10 events plus transportation. Once the Golden Tickets sell out, tickets to individual event will open up to the general public.

“Golden Tickets have been highly coveted every year,” said Kentucky Distillers’ Association President Eric Gregory. “These are all-access passes to the week’s events with the personal service of the Kentucky Bourbon Affair Concierge Team to make sure each experience is outstanding.”
