Jim Rutledge 50yr Anniversary Event - Nov. 5th

[flahute]

There's a late breaking event in Louisville on Nov. 5th to celebrate Jim's 50 years in the industry. Fred Minnick will be the MC and looks like some nice bourbons will be poured. It's a bit pricey, but all the proceeds go to a charity that is important to him due to an illness in his family. If you are in or near Louisville, it looks like a great event.

Posting this for all the cult members among us.

Gonna have to pass.  Will be trying to drink my 2014 Limited Edition Small batch while shooting deer in Northern MN...Or is it the other way around, ??? Might be.  Buy anyway I'll be having fun. 

 

Sounds like a fun event nonetheless

I'd love to join you, but my schedule won't allow.  My youngest has his state XC meet and 18th birthday party (both on the 5th).

Shoot! It would be great to see you again.

 

The event just got very interesting from a pour standpoint. The $250 Gold ticket includes 1/2 oz. pours of the following.

 

Gold Ticket

• Four Roses 17 Year Gift Shop selected by Jim
• LeNells Red Hook Rye
• Charbay 73.5% Private Barrel Selected by Bourbon Crusaders

Main event (Gold and Silver Ticket) includes a Welcome Pour as well as 5 ½ oz pours of the following:

• choice of Bookers 25th or Bookers Rye
• Four Roses 125th 2013 Small Batch Limited Edition
• choice of a selection of Four Roses Private Barrels Selected by Bourbon Crusaders
• choice of Makers Mark 46 KDA or Woodford Masters Brandy Finish
• Willett WFE

LeNells and the famous 17yr is a heck of an opportunity.

^^^^Yep, that just ratcheted things up a bit didn't it?  

 

I don't know how long you're in for, but shoot me a pm if you're going to be around for a few days.

 

Whether it's this time or not, we'll definitely manage to get hooked back up before too long...
