FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Versailles, KY – January 24, 2020
Yes, it’s still business as usual at the Kentucky Castle and we have a full year of the Kentucky Bourbon School prepped and ready for guests!
The Kentucky Bourbon School dives deep into details you won’t typically learn on the distillery tours. Want to learn more about your favorite brown liquid? Or just experience a wide variety of bourbons over the course of a year? Explore Bourbon history, bourbon production, sensory analysis, crafting cocktails and more.
You’ll leave with both a greater knowledge of Kentucky’s native spirit and a better appreciation of the variations and nuances between distilleries.
The first Wednesday 6-7:30pm AND the 3rd Sunday 3-4:30pm of every month.
$35/ea includes guided bourbon tasting & light appetizers
Mix and match or attend them all.
