Join us on Friday, May 8th, from 6pm-11pm at The Barrel Room in Lake Villa for our annual Birthday Bash! This is a super cool, unique event space we've rented out for the evening.
This year we're going bigger and better than ever! We're doubling the amount of "Allocated" pours and tickets given out for these pours. You'll get to choose from:
- Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year (Lot B)
- 2025 Old Forester Birthday Bourbon
- King of Kentucky Small Batch
- Willett Family Estate 7 Year Single Barrel Rye
- Smoke Wagon Rare & Limited Triple Sevens
- Old Charter Finest Oak
- W.L. Weller Single Barrel
- Penelope
- And last but not least: our coveted Jeppson's Single Barrel pick
The "help yourself" pours will include over 40 bottles and will be tip top quality, including higher end, more expensive options and several bottles that were part of allocated pours in years past such as Stagg, Weller 107, etc. This event and lineup is not one you'll want to miss.
A full entry ticket is $110 and includes unlimited pours (Please Uber or find a ride!), a new design of the Lake County Whiskey Club Glencairn glass to sip out of and take home, small table snacks, and a great time with other local whiskey enthusiasts.
Weez's Groovin Barbecue will be onsite with the option to purchase food, and you are welcome to bring your own food or order from any of the local establishments nearby. Beer and wine will also be available to purchase from Harbor. There's a great patio for cigars so bring some with if you'd like to partake.
Designated driver tickets are available for $15 and include water and table snacks.
Shout to our sponsors: Gold Eagle Wine & Spirits for saving the allocated bottles for us all to share at this event. Tenuta's Deli for supplying some great store picks for everyone to try. And the Bourbon Matters Podcast, who is celebrating their 5th birthday and will be supplying rare bottles to be purchased by the pour at cost, and 100% of that money will be donated to charity.
To purchase both full tickets and designated driver tickets in a single transaction, add one ticket type to your cart at the desired quantity, then add the other.
