Bourbon Capital Guild

10/07/2026

A Kentucky meal, a few post-KBF bottle debates, and a room full of Guild members — exactly how we like to spend a happy hour. 🥃

Thank you to Guild member and owner Chef Newman Miller for hosting us at Mr. Tubs on Fourth and serving up a Kentucky classic: chili, peanut butter sandwiches, and Fritos.

We spent the evening comparing our favorite bottle picks from KBF, swapping stories, and enjoying the kind of conversation that happens when you get bourbon people around the same table.

More Member Establishment Happy Hours are coming. We want these gatherings to be an opportunity to experience the places and people within our own Guild while actually getting some time together outside of the bigger events. Thank you to all who came!

And we’re doing it again tomorrow!

🥃 Guild Member Establishment Happy Hour
📍 Liam Ash Cocktail Emporium
⏰ 6–8 PM
Cocktails, neat pours, food, and good company.

We’ll see you there.

The Bourbon Capital Guild was well represented at the 2026 Kentucky Bourbon Festival, the best to date! Cheers to our members Randy, Stacy, Karen, the volunteer force, staff and board for their hard work putting on the world's premier bourbon festival. We'll do it again next September! 🥃

Love this group! Thanks to Denny, Jane and the team at our partner distillery Potter Jane for the exclusive happy hour for the Bourbon Capital Guild. Our group was treated to some conversation with Denny and Jane, learning about the distillery, their thoughts behind the wh***ey, and where they are headed. We also got to taste the brand new second batch of Big Vat Liar (not even in stores yet!), as well as some of their 14 month old bourbon (already delicious, will be ridiculous with more age!).

Stunning Kentucky spring day with some stunning bourbons! Our partners at Preservation Distillery released their Rare Perfection 10 Year today and boy was it fantastic. The incredibly knowledgeable Master of Maturation Kyle Lloyd led us through a vertical Rare Perfection tasting...14 Year to 15 to 9 to the new 10. All were delicious and all were unique. There are some special products coming out of Preservation Distillery! 🥃

Amazing evening in the Brindiamo Penthouse learning the history of Limestone Branch Distillery and tasting through some amazing Yellowstone bourbons and Minor Case Rye. We had dozens of BCG members in the house to learn about one of our two new partner distilleries, Limestone Branch. It's going to be a great year for the Bourbon Capital Guild! 🥃

The Bourbon Capital Guild hosted our annual BCG Holiday Bourbon Bash in the Brindiamo Penthouse on Friday, December 12. 40+ members brought a bottle to share with the group, dinner was catered in, and we drew 25 names from our annual member lottery submissions to add as new 2026 Single Barrel members.

The Bourbon Capital Guild had several hundred submissions for our annual lottery representing 21 states and Scotland! We look forward to welcoming these new members to the Bourbon Capital of the World for events, education on our partner distilleries, bottle shares, barrel picks and more in 2026. Cheers to all, happy holidays and Merry Christmas! 🥃🎄
