Father's Day is right around the corner, y'all. This year,why not honor the special dad in your life -- whether it's your own daddy, your partner, or any other great dad -- with a gift he'll love? Every afternoon this week, HerKentucky spotlights a gift that he'll bet glad to open!

Last month, I visited the Jim Beam American Stillhouse. Let me tell you, it's on some of the most beautiful land in Kentucky. It's like a little amusement park built around the world's top-selling bourbon. It was so much fun to see all the brands that Beam produces and take a taste or two!

Instead of another tie or set of cufflinks, why not take Dad to the Father's Day Bourbon-que this Friday at Jim Beam? What gift is better than Bourbon + Barbecue!

This Father's Day event will be hosted by Fred Noe, Jim Beam’s great-grandson & seventh generation master distiller, & his son, Freddie Noe.  I had the pleasure of meeting Fred recently and, let me tell you, he's quite hilarious. I guarantee you and your dad will have a great time!

The Jim Beam Bourbon-que includes a VIP tasting experience complete with bourbon-inspired dishes, samples of the world’s No. 1 selling bourbon and a guided tour.  

The schedule is below:

12:00 p.m. - Welcome to Jim Beam; Opening Remarks

12:15 p.m. - VIP Bourbon Tasting with Fred B Noe III, and Freddie B. Noe IV – Fred and Freddie will walk you through the tasting process and history of two bourbons.

1:30 p.m.- Bourbon Inspired BBQ Lunch
 
2:00 p.m. - bottle signing with Fred and Freddie

2:45 p.m., 3:00 p.m. & 3:15 p.m. EST- Bourbon-que Distillery Tours

Of course, everybody needs to be 21 or older to attend. It'll make a memorable afternoon, it's only about 20 minutes south of Louisville, and it's far, far better than a card or a new golf club!
