National Bourbon Heritage Month - All September!

September 01, 2024 4:00 AM

September is National Bourbon Heritage Month- Celebrate at OKBB with our famous Back Pocket Cocktails, $10 OKBB house old fashioneds, and a new OKBB Single Barrel release – Buzzards Roost!

The Old Kentucky Bourbon Bar is proud of our roots in Covington as the first "bourbon bar" in the Northern Kentucky region. Join us at OKBB during the month of September to celebrate our bourbon heritage and sample from our selection of more than 900 different bourbons! All month long, Colonel Aaron and the crew will be pouring classic old fashions at classic prices --$10! And each of our bartenders will be offering specials from their back pocket cocktail menu each day during the month of September.

September is also a great time for another OKBB Single Barrel release – Buzzards Roost! Join us, September 29, 2024, for a special bourbon talk and tasting with Mike Adams and the Buzzards Roost crew. Learn more about our bourbon heritage and the unique aging process employed by Buzzards Roost. Recently scoring a 95 by Wine Spectator, the folks at Buzzards Roost hand-pick the best MGP barrels and then re-barrel them in new toasted and lightly charred barrels from Independent Stave Company. They typically spend up to 18 months in that second barrel. This OKBB Single Barrel Select is bottled at barrel strength, 115-116 proof, and is simply incredible.

Another OKBB Single Barrel Release Party

September 29, 2024 6:01 PM

Earlier this Spring Colonel Aaron sent Colonel Matt and Colonel Kevin deep into bourbon country to check out several barrels of a very special bourbon from Buzzards Roost. We were lucky enough to sample from several different barrels, all of which were fantastic. What we picked, however, is unparalleled. This OKBB Single Barrel Select is bottled at barrel strength, 115-116 proof, and is simply incredible.

Join us, September 29, 2024, for a special bourbon talk and tasting with Mike Adams and the Buzzards Roost crew. Learn more about our bourbon heritage and the unique aging process employed by Buzzards Roost. Recently scoring a 95 by Wine Enthusiast, the folks at Buzzards Roost hand-pick the best MGP barrels and then re-barrel them in new toasted and lightly charred barrels from Independent Stave Company. They typically spend up to 18 months in that second barrel.

So come down on Sunday afternoon for some bourbon heritage with Mike Adams and the most uniquely delicious bourbon we have tasted this year. While you are here, pick up a bottle or two at a one-time price. The suggested retail price for Buzzards Roost OKBB Single Barrel Select is $110.00. But on September 29, 2024, you can pick up this rare bottle for just $80.00 (day of barrel release only, limit 2-bottles per customer).
