BourbonCon 2026 Deep Dive: Masterclasses, Finds & 9-Bottle Haul

Описание: BourbonCon 2026 Recap: Our Favorite Sips, Stories, and Hauls! 🥃

What a weekend in Lexington! We just returned from BourbonCon 2026 (Jan 16-17) at the Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate, and we have so much to share. From elite masterclasses to a table full of new bottles, this was an unforgettable experience for any whiskey lover.

In this video, we break down why the $999 Two-Day Platinum Package for TWO was a "heck of a deal." It wasn't just about the whiskey—it included our room, 5 meals (including those killer breakfast and lunch buffets), and exclusive access to the Griffin Vault and the hourly VIP Speakeasy for rare pours.

Inside the Glass:
The Masterclasses: Hearing stories from industry legends like Craig Beam (Jackson Purchase) and Owen Martin (Angel’s Envy).
The Education: Tasting "veiled" expressions with Sara Ahlgrim (Dark Arts) and learning the 4-grain story behind Four Branches with Rick Franco.
Pro Tips: Picked up home bartending tricks from mixologist Gabe Briseno.
The Haul: We review our 9 bottle purchases and unique finds like Sailor Smoke Rubs, Bluegrass Bitters, and Toasted Simple syrups.
Bonus Stop: A visit to our favorites at Glen’s Creek Distilling on the way home.

Whether you're curious about Jackson Purchase Batch 1, the AI-integrated General Thomas bottle, or the Peter E Hart Smoked Rye, we’ve got you covered. Plus, see the Barrel House Cask Strength Kroger Pick that we almost missed out on!

Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just starting your bourbon journey, BourbonCon is an event you need to put on your 2027 calendar! https://www.bourbonconlex.com/
