Join Us in Supporting The KY Bourbon Benefit In Response to the Recent Tornadoes

KEEPING KENTUCKY STRONG

Please join us in supporting The Kentucky Bourbon Benefit in response to the recent tornadoes that have impacted so many lives in Western Kentucky. In support of the relief efforts, we are proud to be donating our first ever Casey Jones Distillery Barrel Pick.

The winner of our donation will pick a 53-gallon barrel of our Double Gold award winning Kentucky Straight Bourbon from our very best stock. This barrel will yield 200+ 750ml bottles and include optional custom bottle labeling in addition to the barrel itself. The entire package is valued well over $10,000+.


HOW TO HELP

The Kentucky Distillers’ Association, the Bourbon Crusaders charitable organization, and Bourbon curator Fred Minnick have crafted an incredible fundraising event to help those affected by the recent tornados that ravaged Western Kentucky.

The Kentucky Bourbon Benefit will host an online and live auction of barrel picks, rare spirits, and unique distillery gifts to raise funds for those in need. All proceeds will go to Kentucky’s official Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund (https://secure.kentucky.gov/formservices/Finance/WKYRelief).

The online auction will begin Thursday, Dec. 16, at 5 p.m. EST and end on Tuesday, Dec. 21, at 10 p.m. Those near Louisville can attend a live-streamed auction on Dec. 21 beginning at 7 p.m. at Westport Whiskey & Wine.

Items for bid can be viewed at www.kybourbonbenefit.com.


More Ways to Help

We are asking for your help for one of our employees! Our very own Debbie Pickering from Princeton, KY has lost everything in the tornadoes that struck our area late at night on December 10th, 2021. Her house and car as well as her brother’s house were entirely destroyed. We are raising funds to help get her and her family back on her feet. All donations will go directly to Debbie and her family as she begins to rebuild. We can’t thank you enough for your kindness and consideration.
