New Orleans Bourbon Festival

The New Orleans Bourbon Festival is awesome! I mean, drinking bourbon in New Orleans is one of my favorite things to do. As a Kentucky girl I love bourbon through and through. And, I also love New Orleans. So, combining the two is a win-win situation for me. The festival allows attendees the chance to enjoy quality bourbons and cuisines while experiencing the charm of New Orleans. Numerous distilleries and restaurants are brought in to showcase their amazing products, and attendees get to try all of it! But, it's not all about eating and drinking, attendees can also choose to participate in sessions with some amazing guest speakers. Sessions range from strictly knowledge-based, to bourbon and bourbon products tastings, to food pairings, and beyond.In addition to eating, drinking, and learning, attendees are offered up some amazing entertainment and experiences as well. The festival kicks off with an awesome Bourbon and Burlesque event, offers some really great sponsor bourbon dinners, and gives attendees the opportunity to participate in, simply come out and watch, or even judge (for a fee) some competitions. If you're a fan of bourbon, and you're a fan of New Orleans, then I definitely recommend checking out this festival! Laissez les bons temps rouler!

This is an amazing festival that was better than last year. We did the VIP grand tasting both nights, several informative seminars, and the Bullet Bourbon dinner at Desi Vega's. The number of whiskeys to be tasted and sampled was unbelievable. The VIPs were allowed to drink special Bourbons the entire time as long as they were available. The band was great and the food was too. We are looking forward to next year!
