Over 1500 whiskey-lovers will gather in St. Louis to sample from 600+ world whiskies. The event will benefit the St. Louis Hero Network.
The St. Louis Bourbon Society (SLBS) will host its 3rd Annual St. Louis Bourbon Festival on October 6, 2023, at the Historic Lemp Mansion, Lemp Grand Hall and Lofts, from 6-9 PM. The venue is located at 1817 Cherokee in St. Louis. Tickets are still available and may be purchased online. General admission tickets give you access to the festival plus sampling of the whiskies. They may be purchased for $90 plus tax.
The festival will feature a full tasting line up of more than 600+ whiskies from around the world while focusing on America’s native spirit: Bourbon. Master Distiller’s, Brand ambassadors and industry professionals will be on hand to answer questions and provide insights throughout the evening.
Live music, live entertainment, and artisans, as well as local food trucks serving unique menus, have been selected just for the event.
The festival will also feature several individual premium tasting sessions onsite at the historic Lemp Mansion. These private tasting sessions will focus on history, distillation/barreling, blending/finishing, cocktail creation, culinary pairings and other popular topics in the world of Bourbon.
Organizers will donate a portion of ticket sales to benefit the St. Louis Hero Network, a respected local 501c3 organization that has a far-reaching influence into the lives of local First Responders, Law Enforcement and Veterans.
With over 1500 people in attendance last year, we are proud to continue hosting one of the largest and most interactive Bourbon festivals in the entire country right here in St. Louis. Bourbon’s popularity continues to grow exponentially in the U.S. and Missouri is a fast-growing market.
James Thomas, co-founder of the SLBS
