2026 Kentucky Bourbon Festival Recap w/ Terry Barga and Christy Pruitt-Haynes
We had an absolute blast at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival! From catching up with old friends to meeting new ones, connecting with some of the incredible distillers behind the bottles, and tasting more than a few unforgettable pours, this weekend reminded us why we love the bourbon community so much.
There’s something special about bringing so many people together who share a genuine appreciation for the craft, the history, and the stories behind bourbon. We loved getting the chance to hear directly from the people making it, discover some new favorites, and bring you along for as much of the experience as we could.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped to say hello, shared a pour, told us a story, or jumped in front of the camera with us. Weekends like this are exactly what Blind Tiger Collective is all about—good bourbon, good people, and the experiences that happen when you put the two together.
If you made it to the Kentucky Bourbon Festival this year, tell us your favorite bottle, moment, tasting, or experience in the comments. We want to hear what made your weekend memorable!
And if you couldn’t make it, enjoy the recap—we did our best to bring a little bit of Bardstown home with us.
