The Mint Julep is a fine Southern tradition dating back to the 18th Century, as well as the official drink of the Kentucky Derby since 1939. Since 2013, April has been designated as "Mint Julep Month®" celebrating the famous Bourbon cocktail along with the arrival of Spring in Kentucky. Enjoy Mint Julep and Kentucky Derby-inspired festivities all month long as we lead up to the first Saturday in May and “the most exciting two minutes in sports."
Distillery bars are one of the best ways to sample your favorite Bourbon brands in hand-crafted, specialty cocktails, on-site where the spirits are created. During April, the distilleries below will be offering their unique take on the classic Mint Julep and you'll receive a special gift when you order one - a Love & Victory Mint Julep lapel pin. (While supplies last).
