Fort Wayne Bourbon Fest

General Admission tickets are $75 through July 31st — starting in August, that price moves to $100. If you've been meaning to grab a ticket, this is the window. GA still gets you a barrel pick bottle, dozens of pours, and a shot at one of 25 raffle bottles (most of the Pappy lineup is in there). Speaking of which, I had the chance to help pick out the bottles for the raffle this week. Hype videos coming in August around the raffle, but let me tell you the selection is insane.

What are we pouring?

Our Green River Wheated vs. Weller 107 blind tasting has been one of our best-performing review videos in a while, and the bottles from Hoffman's Party Store are going quick. If you missed the first batch, reach out by replying to this email — we may be able to get you pointed toward one. I have already had two people that got a bottle ask for another. It is that good.

Video Updates

Today we dropped a review of the Blackberry Penelope Old Fashioned with Marcella. Not a normal bottle for us to review, but she was excited about it. We also got into the Brazilian alcohol scene a bit, which was a fun tangent.

Tomorrow, is an Old Forester pick review from a hunt video that is going live on Monday (Fermi 3 near Detroit).

Good weekend to have a notebook handy.

Trail House - AirBnB we own in Louisville

July's been our strongest month yet for the Trail House. The bourbon trail has been busy all summer, and we've got a trip planned for early August which I am so excited for. If Kentucky's on your calendar this fall, now's a good time to check dates.
