(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - Blind Bourbon Live presented by podcaster and best-selling author Fred Minnick is coming to the Hollywood Casino on Saturday, February 17. Seats are limited and tickets are on sale now at hollywoodindiana.com.
This isn't some run-of-the-mill watering hole tasting. There will be blind folds and bourbon so good that you'd stand in line to buy it.
After you've received professional sensory training and learned about bourbon's history, you will be sanctioned as an official taster of the American Spirits Council of Tasters and will judge an exhibition tasting where the winner receives an automatic bid into Fred's Top 100 at the end of the year.
You will analyze the bourbon in a blind flight and choose your favorite. The crowd will vote and can guess what they are tasting. What are the bourbons for this event? You’ll have to taste to find out, but here's a hint: Everything tasted will have been distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, home to the Hollywood Casino and one of the most important distilleries in the United States, Ross & Squibb, aka MGP.
For those looking to take their experience up even another notch, the VIP Session will be a mingle and educational session with Fred and the distillers of Ross & Squibb, aka MGP in Lawrenceburg. In the VIP tasting: Every Remus Repeal; Every Blood Oath; Remus Gatsby 2023, and a handful of TBD vintage releases distilled in Lawrenceburg and more.
