The barrels are still open and the vote's still live. Six casks of the next Red, White, and Blue, yours to taste and judge — leave your notes, cast your ballot, help decide what The Brave becomes. Free to take part. Pours at $19.99 for a 100ml from any barrel, or $50 for one of each.

The Brave is in the gift shop and online — $76 each when you buy all three, $89.99 for one.

While you're here — take a tour, sit down for a tasting, or Fill Your Own Bottle from Revere Single Barrel #1193 and get a 2026 Challenge Coin, or fill your own Ambruana Barrel Cut Batch 8.

The Pennyrile Jazz Collective sets up as the light goes long, and Smokin O's keeps the smoke going. Happy Hour starts at 5PM — $9 Old Geezers and $6 Moonaritas. An easy night, good whiskey, and the kind of music that doesn't ask anything of you. No cover.
