“Bourbon is best enjoyed with family and friends, and BourbonFest provides a new way to come together, have fun and sip some delicious bourbons,” said Greg Lehman, Watershed founder and CEO in a press release. “What started as a very patient journey with bourbon in 2010, has evolved into a real passion for Watershed. We are incredibly proud of the bourbons we produce today and how we have refined our craft over the years. We can’t wait to see what people think of our Uncut Unfiltered releasing at the event.”

A limited number of tickets are on sale now, and tickets will not be available at the door. You can buy them here.
