🥃 ONLY 17 TICKETS REMAIN — OLD CARTER VIP EXPERIENCE

Bourbon fans, this is not your typical tasting.

On Friday, September 25, we're kicking off Fort Wayne Bourbon Fest weekend with an intimate VIP experience featuring Mark Carter, founder of Old Carter Wh***ey Co. and co-founder of Kentucky Owl.

Only 50 guests will be part of this special evening at The Annex in Auburn — and 33 tickets are already gone.

Your $100 ticket includes a curated tasting featuring:

🥃 Kentucky Owl Bourbon
🍷 Carter Cellars W**e
🥃 Old Carter Bourbon
🥃 Old Carter Rye
🥃 Old Carter American Wh***ey

But the bottles are only part of the experience.

You'll spend the evening with Mark Carter himself, hearing the stories behind Kentucky Owl, Carter Cellars and Old Carter — while tasting through the brands he helped create.

Friday, September 25 | 5–7 PM
📍 The Annex — Auburn, Indiana
🎟️ $100 per person
🔥 ONLY 17 OF 50 TICKETS REMAIN

And when the VIP Experience ends, the evening doesn't have to — a community bottle share follows immediately afterward at The Annex.

If you're a serious bourbon fan and you've ever wanted the opportunity to sit down, taste wh***ey and talk bourbon with one of the people behind some of the industry's most sought-after bottles, this is your chance.
