Bankers' Bourbon & Racing Classic

Two Days of High Proof & High Stakes

Join ICBB for an unforgettable two-day networking experience in the heart of Kentucky bourbon country. Start day one at historic Keeneland for an afternoon of world-class racing, then spend day two behind the scenes at some of the state’s premier distilleries, including:

• Lexington Brewing Company: Two tours in one! Discover the home of Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale and Town Branch Bourbon while sampling beer and spirits along the way. 

• Whiskey Thief: The distillery combines a unique thieving experience with Bluegrass hospitality for a one-of-a-kind whiskey adventure.
