Bourbon Block Party

In October, Garden & Gun invited guests to gather at the historic Stitzel-Weller Distillery to kick off the opening weekend of Keeneland’s Fall Meet. The celebratory lawn party featured festive Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey cocktails by Erika Flowers of New Orleans’ famed Compère Lapin, and food truck snacks from Black Rock Grille. With cocktails in hand, guests listened to live music from Park Ave and shopped Kentucky-based artisan goods from Joshua James and David Kenton Kring.
