Looking to map out your summer weekend warrior plans? The month of May is a mighty fine time to visit The Bourbon State, just sayin’. Old Man Winter is out of the picture. At the same time, it’s not too hot…yet. Generally speaking, it’s the “perfect blend” to get out for a road trip! And what if we through in a few of our favorite things, BBQ & BOURBON, for good measure? Now I’ve got your attention;)

Your kick off to warmer weather wanderlust destination dreams starts in Owensboro (KY), with a BBQ and Bourbon immersed weekend experience you’re not going to want to miss!

May 9 – 11 (Thursday – Saturday), the riverfront city (~1hr 40 min west of Louisville) is hosting “BBQ & BARRELS”, a celebration and homage to the city’s sacred bedrock of “Western Kentucky BBQ” and Bourbon authenticity of which go back countless generations.  

While the event name may be new generally speaking, the foundation certainly is not as it continues upon the storied tradition of Owensboro’s globally renowned Int’ Bar-B-Q Festival which goes back nearly 45 years. The legacy of Owensboro’s iconic BBQ legacy dates back centuries ago, to the early 1800’s.  It is the epicenter of “Western KY BBQ“.  You may have heard of “burgoo” or “mutton”, perhaps even tried it, but you haven’t really experienced it unless you’ve done it in Owensboro proper!

And with its strategic river positioning and abundantly fertile grain supply, Owensboro was a titan of the Whiskey Industry, with 20+ large scale distilleries prior to Prohibition.

Now that you’ve had a glimpse of Owensboro’s glorious past, lets take a look at your delicious future their for the upcoming sensory dazzling extravaganza that awaits you in May!

Does anything embody “party” quite like “The Kentucky Derby”? Just say it out loud. What pops in your head? Bougie outfits. Bourbon. Big fancy hats. Bourbon. Elegance. Mint Juleps (with Bourbon). A day of leisure and decadence and gambling and perhaps trackside raucous. Powered by Bourbon…In short, a GOOD TIME. The ultimate good time.

But it’s more than that. It’s essentially America’s first celebrated annual tailgate event. Take that college football and NFL. The Kentucky Derby is officially the longest, continually held sporting event in America. It’s globally iconic. It’s America’s original SUPER BOWL of sporting events. An excuse for us all to get together, get gussied up, enjoy food together, imbibe together (Kentucky Bourbon cough cough). There’s nothing more symbolic of Kentucky than its prized dynamic duo – BOURBON & THE KENTUCKY DERBY.

150th Birthday Dinner Tribute Extravaganza: April 11th

A very special milestone lies ahead for the first Saturday in May at the iconic Twin Spires “CHURCHHILL DOWNS” in Louisville. It is the Kentucky Derby 150th Anniversary. Now there’s some pressure afoot. How do you celebrate something so significant for an event that is already at the pinnacle of Mount Entertainment?

The Kentucky Derby Museum (KDM) has a firm grasp on delivering for such a daunting task. On April 11th, the KDM is hosting a very special evening honoring legendary horseman D. Wayne Lukas. The highlights are below, notice an all to appropriate usage of Old Forester Birthday Bourbon in a toast led by legendary Master Distillery Chris Morris.

National “Bottled-in-Bond Day” is March 3rd. As if you didn’t already know? This very special occasion which rightfully celebrates the 1897 “Bottled-in-Bond” Act is coming in hot. Thankfully, the good folks in Northern Kentucky’s Covington area have us covered with a tongue smacking foot tapping delicious celebration. And for good reason. Hang with me here.

You see, the “BiB” Act was the first major legislation providing specific standards of quality for American Whiskey. It guaranteed you knew who made your whiskey, where it was aged, a minimum age of at least 4 years, and a 100 proof (50% abv). Hard to imagine now but back in those days, it was truly The Wild Wild Wild Wild West and a lot could happen to your whiskey from producer to barkeeper. Keep in mind, whiskey was a common remedy in those day for infants and children. Nothing like coating those teething baby gums with whiskey that was adultered with tobacco spit and just a smidge of some rust for coloring and good measure. Maybe a dash of paint thinner to top it off.

The Kentucky Connection: Bottled-in-Bond’s Hero

Northern Kentucky’s Covington area was the native stomping grounds to the most important politician backing BiB – US Secretary of Treasure John G. Carlisle (resume also boasts US Senator, POTUS candidacy, and a bunch of other gov stuff). As a proud Kentuckian, he was certainly immersed in the Bourbon world as he, along with close friend E.H. Taylor, fought hard and diligently to push BiB through.

Heyyy…Where The Party At?!

*MARCH 2nd – COVINGTON, KY* Mark your calendar March 2nd for the first-annual Bonded Spirit Bluegrass Festival from 5 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, at Smoke Justis in Covington, Ky. Brought together in partnership with meetNKY and The B-Line®, the festival celebrates the spirit of the Bottled-in-Bond (BIB) Act of 1897 and features a cocktail competition, food and a live music lineup featuring Grammy-nominated bluegrass artists Sister Sadie and The Goodwin Brothers.

“Everyone knows Kentucky has a rich history rooted in bourbon but what many don’t know is Northern Kentucky’s role in that history,” said president and CEO of meetNKY, Julie Kirkpatrick. “The Bonded Spirit Bluegrass Festival is the perfect way to celebrate the Bottled-in-Bond Act, which Covington’s very own John G. Carlisle was instrumental in passing in 1897. We partnered with our friends at Smoke Justis— a B-Line location — to bring together the perfect collision of bourbon and bluegrass to draw visitors to our region and give them and locals another fun thing to do that weekend in addition to Bockfest.”

DATE: Saturday, March 2nd, 2024

TIME: 5 – 10 pm EST

LOCATION: Smoke Justis (302 Court St, Covington, KY, 41011)

COST: $100 General Admission and $175 VIP

TICKET INFO:  HERE

Bottled-in-Bond Cocktail Competition!

In the spirit of celebration, the festival also hosts a competition to crown the best BIB cocktail, enlisting bartenders from across the Commonwealth to showcase creativity and highlight the unique qualities of BIB spirits. Bartender contestants will represent Second Sight Spirits and Rich’s Proper from Northern Kentucky, Old Bourbon County (OBC) Kitchen and The Manchester Hotel from Lexington, Ky. and 21c Proof on Main and Goodfella’s from Louisville, Ky. All participating bars were selected to participate by The Bourbon Review.

GENERAL ADMISSION INCLUDES: Roebling Rickhouse General Admission tickets are $100 and include six samplings of BIB cocktails, one beer or wine drink ticket, light bites and access to the music lineup.

VIP TICKETS: John G. Carlisle VIP Experience Tickets are available for $175 and include exclusive access to the Smoke Justis Bourbon Lounge, the opportunity to cast a vote for the Best BIB Cocktail, six samplings of BIB Cocktails, two full BIB cocktails, a buffet dinner served in the Smoke Justis Bourbon lounge, and more.

“Covington owns the unique Bottled-in-Bond aspect of bourbon’s long-standing history in this country,” said Smoke Justis founder, Richard Dickmann. “Smoke Justis looks forward to celebrating bourbon and bluegrass with whiskey enthusiasts from all over against the backdrop of our iconic Roebling Bridge.”

Bardstown Bourbon Company, renowned for its innovative and transparent approach to whiskey making, will hand over the keys to the “House of Bardstown,” an immersive cocktail and culinary pop-up experience coming to select cities this spring

Each evening, a limited number of guests will receive transportation to an undisclosed address where, through the door, they’ll dance, dine and taste their way through a series of intricately crafted rooms and one-of-a-kind sensory experiences, each a chapter in the illustrious story of Bardstown’s collaboration and innovation.

Guests will be invited to savor and celebrate the Bardstown story in a setting as refined, eclectic, and spellbinding as the spirits themselves.

The Experience

Attendees will begin their adventure in The Origin Room, a modern space that reframes traditional perceptions of bourbon with its clean and crisp aesthetic. From there, guests will delve into the Discovery Lab, immersing themselves in Bardstown’s exquisite blends with a one- -of-a kind tasting experience designed to elevate the sensory experience.

The journey continues at the Foursquare Bar, where the essence of Barbados meets the rich heritage of bourbon, creating a captivating dance of flavors and ambiance. Within the enigmatic Goose Island Lounge, a hidden gem reminiscent of a Chicago speakeasy, guests will find a secretive and captivating escape to the city.

“The House of Bardstown is not just an experience; it’s a journey into the soul of Bardstown Bourbon Company,” said Dan Callaway, VP of Product Development. “We’re excited to bring this immersive adventure to life, celebrating the legacy we’re crafting every day in a way that’s never been done before.”
