🥃 ONLY 17 TICKETS REMAIN — OLD CARTER VIP EXPERIENCE

Bourbon fans, this is not your typical tasting.

On Friday, September 25, we're kicking off Fort Wayne Bourbon Fest weekend with an intimate VIP experience featuring Mark Carter, founder of Old Carter Wh***ey Co. and co-founder of Kentucky Owl.

Only 50 guests will be part of this special evening at The Annex in Auburn — and 33 tickets are already gone.

Your $100 ticket includes appetizers and a curated tasting featuring:

🥃 Kentucky Owl Bourbon
🍷 Carter Cellars W**e
🥃 Old Carter Bourbon
🥃 Old Carter Rye
🥃 Old Carter American Wh***ey

But the bottles are only part of the experience.

You'll spend the evening with Mark Carter himself, hearing the stories behind Kentucky Owl, Carter Cellars and Old Carter — while tasting through the brands he helped create.

Friday, September 25 | 5–7 PM
📍 The Annex — Auburn, Indiana
🎟️ $100 per person
🔥 ONLY 17 OF 50 TICKETS REMAIN

And when the VIP Experience ends, the evening doesn't have to — a community bottle share follows immediately afterward at The Annex.

If you're a serious bourbon fan and you've ever wanted the opportunity to sit down, taste wh***ey and talk bourbon with one of the people behind some of the industry's most sought-after bottles, this is your chance.

We had such a great time hanging with some amazing people the last few days. Bottle count got a bit crazy (reviews on the way). What a great trip. We ended up coming back last night so I could get a head start on the FWBF work coming up this week. More videos from the weekend coming soon. Can’t wait for next year!

Dragon's Milk Bourbon delivers notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, baking spices, and a smooth finish that make it an exciting pour for both seasoned bourbon drinkers and newcomers. But will it the 3rd bourbon that Marcella actually enjoys?

Marcella is completely new to bourbon and wh***ey, so every reaction is honest, unscripted, and real. Join her as she continues tasting bourbons, rye wh***eys, flavored wh***eys, and rare bottles until she finally discovers her favorite.

On day 0 (night 1) of the Kentucky Bourbon Fest we were invited to an influencer event at Wh***ey Thief by The Bourbon Patriot. Amazing time with some amazing people. Then we were on to the first night of KBF where we picked up some more bottles including the Kentucky Boy offering by Old Forester. The bottle count is getting up there.

Today we're reviewing the brand-new Penelope Golf Architect Series and putting all three releases—Hole 1, Hole 2, and Hole 3—through a blind tasting to see which bottle truly stands above the rest. If you're searching for a Penelope Golf Architect review, Penelope Bourbon review, Penelope Architect comparison, or wondering whether these new golf-themed releases are worth buying, you've come to the right place.

Penelope Bourbon continues to release some of the most innovative wh***ey products on the market, and this limited Golf Series pays tribute to the founders' love of golf and the origins of the Penelope story. Each bottle uses the same six-year-old MGP bourbon mash bill but varies the stave finishing process to create unique flavor profiles. The question is: can we actually taste the difference?

Joining me are several fellow bourbon creators as we blind rank all three expressions, discuss tasting notes, compare them to the standard Penelope Architect, and determine whether this series is simply clever marketing or a must-buy bourbon release.
