Host the Ultimate Derby Party with Bourbon Women at Whiskey Thief Distilling Co.

Join Bourbon Women for a spirited afternoon at Whiskey Thief Distilling Co. in Frankfort as we gear up for Kentucky’s most festive season. Just weeks before the Run for the Roses, this hands-on experience will give you everything you need to host your own unforgettable Derby gathering.

During this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to craft and batch a signature Derby cocktail with cocktail expert Jennifer Brian, whose approachable style and deep spirits knowledge make entertaining effortless and fun. She’ll walk guests through the art of cocktail batching—perfect for parties—along with tips, techniques, and flavor insights you can recreate at home.

Next, Chef Steve Atkins will demonstrate how to prepare delicious Derby-inspired appetizers designed to complement your cocktails and impress your guests. You’ll leave with inspiration, practical hosting tips, and a few new entertaining tricks just in time for Derby weekend.

All of this takes place at Whiskey Thief Distilling Co.’s Frankfort farm distillery, a unique Kentucky experience where guests can taste bourbon straight from the barrel. Located on a beautiful working farm just outside Frankfort, Whiskey Thief is known for its grain-to-glass approach and interactive tasting experiences that make every visit memorable.

Come sip, learn, and connect with fellow Bourbon Women while preparing for the most stylish party of the spring season.
