2024 Bourbon Bonanza ticket information.

The event is Sunday Sept 8th at Bottom Lounge in the West Loop area of Chicago. The VIP session is from 2:00-3:00 and the regular session is from 3:00-7:00. There will also be an after party to follow the Bonanza with more details to come regarding that.

Today we are starting to release the VIP tickets for the Sept 8th Bourbon Bonanza. As with past years you need to make a bottle donation of at least $750-800 secondary value to get access to the VIP session. The VIP tickets are $350 and also allow you to purchase one event Willett 12 yr bourbon bottle and 1 VIP Willett 11 yr bourbon bottle, the bottles are $500 each. To start the process you need to send myself, Quintin Wise, or Emerson Shotwell a message and once we “approve” your donation you will be given the ticket link and promo code. We have separate tickets this year that include the bottles and an event ticket so it should be less confusing.
The VIP session includes special pours, vintage cocktails, some special bites created by our own Newman Miller (we had 1.7 Kg’s of caviar last year) and will have private access to skip the lines for the Willett event pours

General admission tickets will be released July 1st at noon EST. This years event bottle is an 12 yr old bourbon and is limited to 100 bottles and is first come first serve.
