We really, really love you. 🥃🧡

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2025 @kybourbonfest, presented by the Koetter Group. Your smiles, your stories, and your passion for bourbon made this year unforgettable. From the first welcome cocktail to the last goodbyes under the oak trees, you reminded us why Bardstown is the the Bourbon Capital of the World!

This festival isn’t just about the pours—it’s about the people who come together year after year to celebrate tradition, friendship, and the spirit of bourbon. And because of you, 2025 was one for the history books.

Stay tuned for the full recap reel, but until then, here’s a look back at a few of our favorite moments from this incredible weekend.
