Buffalo Trace Distillery is partnering with VisitLEX to offer a Bourbon Beginners Weekend Experience for “bourbon curious” adventurers looking to deepen their knowledge, understanding and overall confidence with whiskey.
The Bourbon Beginners Tour is designed to provide a welcoming, encouraging and exploratory introduction into Buffalo Trace Distillery and the broader bourbon category. The tour is a progressive tasting experience that allows visitors to taste test some of Buffalo Trace’s most renowned bourbons, both straight and in a cocktail sample, alongside fellow beginners during a guided tour.
“We know bourbon can seem intimidating at first, and our team is eager to help everyone feel welcome to visit and learn about the history and craftsmanship that goes into a uniquely American spirit,” said Buffalo Trace Distillery General Manager Tyler Adams. “This experience will be a safe space structured to eliminate the intimidation factor and, hopefully, Buffalo Trace Distillery will be the beginning of the start of their journey to falling in love with bourbon.”
The Bourbon Beginners Tour will take place on Saturday, August 17 at 4 p.m. There will be 100 tickets available, with tours running every 15 minutes between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., with the last tour ending around 6 p.m. Stops along the tour include locations showcasing various steps in the bourbon making process. Tickets are priced at $40 per person and includ a Bourbon Beginners starter kit that features a bottle of Buffalo Trace Bourbon, a bourbon rocks glass, a bottle of Stirrings Old Fashioned Cocktail Mix and a bottle of Peychaud’s Bitters.
In partnership with VisitLEX, purchase of a ticket will also include a Bourbon Country Beginners Guide, which features bars, restaurants, hotels and attractions that complement and enhance Buffalo Trace Distillery’s Bourbon Beginners Tour. Ticket holders will receive a discount code or may present their ticket for special rates at participating partners.
