OVERVIEW OF BOURBON PALOOZA

What is Bourbon Palooza?
Bourbon Palooza is the most unique offering in bourbon. It's part festival, part all access pass and part of something only Steve Akley could curate. It's literally the definition of the ultimate bourbon experience

So What is It?
Bourbon Palooza is a gathering of passionate bourbon fans that get to experience things not available to the public. These are events crafted and curated just by us and for us. It all draws inspiration from an event they used to do in Kentucky called the Kentucky Bourbon Affair. The Kentucky Bourbon Affair was put on by the Kentucky Distiller's Association, the governing body of Kentucky Bourbon. They would challenge distillery members to put together unique events that you could then buy tickets to. They called it fantasy camp for bourbon fans. We're talking regular things like barrel picks or creating you own blend to skeet shooting with Jimmy and Eddie Russell of Wild Turkey, dinner at the home of Bill Samuels, Jr. of Maker's Mark or a tasting at the top of the Old Forester Water Tower located on the Brown-Forman campus. It was literally the coolest thing in bourbon and I wish they would bring it back. 

These events were small by bourbon festival standards, but you are still talking 75 - 150 people attending. What if we could do a true small event with say 20? That's what Bourbon Palooza is... unique experiences in ridiculously small group sizes to give you the ultimate experience in bourbon. We just did a Bourbon Palooza in Kentucky, we had events like create your own blend at Bardstown Bourbon Company, Jane Bowie cooks you breakfast at her house, Denny Potter stops in and you then drink from Jane's personal whiskey collection, one group got to train for the barrel roll relays at Heaven Hill's training center (something never offered to the public), another group got to have breakfast made at Bourbons Bistro by Jason Brauner himself, and then they had a class about dusty whiskey. It's all stuff you have to love being a bourbon fan.

So tell me more about this?
So our agenda in St. Louis will look kind of link this:

Friday, October 11 - Hosted dinner events (whiskey-themed, of course).

Saturday, October 12 - Four Events in the AM (you pick one) / Four events in the PM (you pick one) / A sponsored party / bottle share at the ABV Barrel Shop.

Sunday, October 13 - Breakfast in STL and then on your way!

What are the Events in St. Louis?
Still working on the details, but I can tell you, I already have commitments from Nobleton's Distilling House, Wood Hat Spirits, LIT Cigar Lounge, Old Monroe (The artist formerly known as Stumpy's Spirits), StilL 630, Meredith Barry is going to host a bartending event and more. It's going to be epic.

Wait. Hold on. There are going to be 8 events and I can attend 2?
Yes, that's correct. Each event on Saturday, October 12 is it's own stand alone mini event. The four AM sessions all run at the same time and the same thing happens in the afternoon. 

Get this... we pick what you get to attend via a Zoom meeting that is kind of like a fantasy football draft. We take turns choosing the AM events, when it's your turn (drawn at random), you select which AM session you want to attend?

How many tickets are available?

80
