Unique Barrel Pick Fundraiser Benefits the Augusta Independent Educational Foundation.
Augusta Distillery & Beehive Augusta Tavern have joined forces to raise money for local schools in their hometown of Augusta, Kentucky. The fundraiser is currently active and is taking place as an online auction. All proceeds from this auction will go to the Augusta Independent Educational Foundation. Interested bidders should visit the auction website before December 21 to place a bid.
The highest bidder of this auction will receive a barrel pick of Augusta Distillery’s Buckner’s 10 Year Bourbon. The winner will be awarded 8 invitations to Augusta Distillery for a VIP tour and tasting experience, resulting in the selection of one Buckner’s 10-Year-Old barrel. This barrel is estimated to yield approximately 150 bottles, a value of over $22,000.
About Buckner’s 10 Year Bourbon:
Buckner’s is a limited edition 10-year, single-barrel bourbon in the brand’s ultra-premium lineup. As the youngest expression in this esteemed family, it provides a level of maturity not commonly found in younger distillations. Its full-cask strength commands attention while still offering an approachable entry for bourbon drinkers looking to explore top-tier options.
About Augusta Distillery:
Augusta Distillery sits on the banks of the Ohio river – the original bourbon trail – and was founded to help share the “bourbon-centric” life Northern Kentuckians enjoy. Their award-winning bourbons salute the region’s rich bourbon history in a historic setting. Augusta Distillery invites you to “unwind, revel, and linger just a little while longer” in beautiful Augusta, Ky., also home to The Beehive Tavern. Augusta Distillery’s 13 Year Buckner’s Bourbon was crowned “Best Bourbon In The World” at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC).
