I'm excited to give the details for the 2021 Kentucky Bourbon Bash, but wanted to point out that this get together is not part of the amazing THP Experiences. Just a group of THPers getting together for a fun filled weekend.
Unfortunately due to Covid, last year was cancelled all together and things are still somewhat different. Some distilleries still aren't holding tours or tastings as of this post but we are going to make the best of it. Golf, Bourbon and hanging out with THPers, sounds like a great time to me, but we need to act fast on dates so we can get everything booked ASAP. Once we get dates & numbers I will need everyone's payments for the rooms up front.
So here are the details....
Date: (Trying to beat the Heat)
Saturday, May 29th & Sunday, May 30th. Yes it's Memorial Day weekend but you will have that Monday to relax and unwind.
Location:
Lexington, Ky
Lodging:
Griffin Gate Marriott Golf Resort & Spa (Price is $165.00 after taxes and fees. That includes Lodging and unlimited golf for either Saturday or Sunday. It's a hell of a deal. Rooms alone are usually $150. 2 guests per room with Queen beds. If anyone wants to come in Friday, Griffin Gate has the same deal if you want to book or feel free to book anywhere you'd like.
Golf:
One day will be played at Griffin Gate (Price included in lodging) & the other will be played at either Kearney Hills ($55ish)
Distilleries:
The plan is to play golf Saturday morning in order to make both distilleries Saturday afternoon. The distilleries are also open on Sunday if we wanted to hit one each day. Reservations are required, but can't be booked until 28 days out but will fill up quickly so we need definite numbers.
Buffalo Trace (10am-4pm): Complementary walking tour with tastings. Only the brands listed below are being offered due to limited quantities.
Woodford Reserve (10am-4pm) 8 guests per guided tasting of their 5 brands with no tour for $25.
I want to give everyone a chance to get in on this, but we can't let it drag out very long mainly because of the rooms availability. So we'll give it a couple weeks. Let us know in the thread what dates work best for you and how many nights you think you will need. If someone wants to come in early, feel free to book your own lodging if you can get a better deal. But for a room and all day golf we can't beat Griffin Gate.
Throw out any questions you may have but one question is already answered....I've got Bourbon!!
