Bourbon Advent
“One sip of warming bourbon gives me a Christmassy feeling, the spicy heat teasing out memories of the fragrant liquor.” — Lynn Marie Hulsman
Each year, we bring holiday cheers celebrating our Bourbon Advent.
Whether you are sipping a premium pour or a special barrel pick that is no longer available, season's greetings as we participate in Bourbon Advent throughout the month of December.
The Lexington Bourbon Society creates and distributes specialized advent calendars to our bourbon society each year. We celebrate the holidays and kick off the festive season with our calendar exchange event before Thanksgiving. And by providing a bottle poured into 24 labeled 1oz. bottles, members can enter one of the calendars we offer and follow along online each day leading up to Christmas Day!
The spots are first-come, first-serve. Calendars fill up fast, and only a handful of spots are offered for members to participate. We typically hold two calendars, ranging in themes from open whiskey to premium (minimum $90 retail) bourbon calendars—That leaves 48 spots to grab each year! And we finish off the event with your choice of sipper on Christmas Eve. What a fun way to showcase great whiskeys picked by members for members who sign up!
During the holiday season starting on December 1, be sure to follow along by liking us on Facebook at @LexingtonBourbonSociety. Let's celebrate the holidays and welcome the festivities each year through pours that warm the soul. Cheers!
Please note, advent calendars are only available to our members. We do not ship them either as members are to pick them up locally once available for the season.
Follow our Daily Posts during Advent Season!
Let us put your nose, palate, and finish skills to the test!
LBS Barrel Pick Collection
Our first calendar focuses on LBS barrel picks we have collected over the years. Since 2018, our society has been able to share various barrel picks with our friends, families, and the local community. We are excited to share these bottles with our participants for the 2025 advent season!
Blind Bourbon Collection
Our second calendar returns a favorite to participating members for this year's Advent: Our Blind Series. Each day at 9 p.m. the pour will be revealed via socials. We are excited to share a bourbon pour provided by our members. Can you guess it before the reveal? Let us know and be sure to follow along. NOTE: Due to the number of participants in this year's calendar, our society has spaced out the days we reveal blind calendar entries. Enjoy our 15 entries for 2025 advent season.
