What he learned surprised him. In this demo, Steve will pair Wilderness Trail Bourbon and rye to various barbecue cuts, while explaining why Bourbon and barbecue are a match made in heaven (in case you needed more proof!) You won’t want to miss this savory adventure.

    • Moderated by Kevin Gibson, writer for Bourbon+ magazine, with Wilderness Trail tasting team When you walk into a liquor store, you’re no doubt seeing the terms, “barrel proof” or “cask strength.” In this informative discussion and tasting, Bourbon+ writers and Wilderness Trail team members elaborate on the virtues of getting bourbon straight from the barrel. After all, you can always add water. But can you get your proof back when it’s bottled at 80 proof?

      Available Time - 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

      $25 @ VIP Bourbon + Tent
