Louisville’s Bourbon Societies

November 17, 2015 by Elizabeth Gerber

Bourbon is synonymous with Kentucky and is an industry that is booming. So, it comes as no surprise there are multiple bourbon societies in Louisville that allow locals to indulge and learn more about the spirit. If you are interested in bourbon, consider these your people.

Bourbon Women

Bourbon Women is a social organization for women with an affinity for bourbon and who are seeking to learn more about the bourbon industry. The all-female group plans monthly events throughout the year that include special guests such as master distillers, top chefs and bartenders. Membership is $5o for one year and financial proceeds are donated to a scholarship for a female student through Sullivan University. To learn more about Bourbon Women, click here: bourbonwomen.com
