Run for the Roses: A Blind Bourbon Derby

Run for the Roses: A Blind Bourbon Derby

$50.00

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE BOURBON EXPERIENCES WE’VE EVER DONE!

Derby is almost here and we're celebrating in style.

Join us on Tuesday, April 28th in the Smoke Justis Bourbon Lounge for Run for the Roses: A Blind Bourbon Derby, a fun and guided tasting experience where the labels stay hidden and your palate is the only judge that matters.

Your night kicks off at 6:00 PM with a welcome Old Fashioned made with Old Forester 86 the perfect way to get in the Derby spirit before the real action starts.

At 6:30 PM, the gates open.

Rhonda Shires of Bourbon Trails & Bluegrass Tales will lead you through a lineup of 5 bourbons, each one tied to the world of horses, racing, or Kentucky Derby tradition.

Rhonda knows her bourbon, and she knows how to make it approachable and fun for everyone — whether you're a seasoned sipper or just getting started.

The catch? You won't know what's in your glass until the very end.

Score each pour, place your bets on your favorites, and then watch Rhonda reveal the lineup in a final Derby-style showdown.

Your top pick might just surprise you!

This event is set up with communal table seating — think Derby party energy, where the conversation flows as freely as the bourbon.

Each ticket includes:

  • Welcome Old Fashioned with Old Forester 86

  • Guided blind tasting of 5 bourbons (1 oz pours), led by Rhonda Shires

  • Scoring cards & "betting" experience with a final reveal

Seats are limited — grab yours before they're gone.

May the best pour win.
