It's National Bourbon Day! Here's where you can celebrate in Northern Kentucky
June 14 is National Bourbon Day, and here's what in store.
North Kentucky's Bourbon experience is offering bourbon enthusiasts from across the Tri-State a variety of events and specials to mark National Bourbon Day.
“National Bourbon Day was created to recognize the high standards put in place for distilling bourbon and to celebrate America’s Native Spirit,” said meetNKY President and CEO, Julie Kirkpatrick in a release. “We hope people across the Tri-State will join us in lifting a glass (or two) to celebrate the many great bars, restaurants and distilleries that make The B-Line a global destination.”
The B-Line, Northern Kentucky's self guided Bourbon trails, has a total of five craft distilleries as well as eight bars, all of which have been named The Best Bourbon Bars in America by The Bourbon Review.
