Custom Bourbon Bottle Pre-Order Information
At The Burn we collaborate with our partner distilleries to craft unique experiences for our participants. And what’s better than taking home lasting memories? Taking home a custom bottle of Kentucky bourbon that none of your bourbon-lovin’ friends will have on their shelves.
We’ve worked with our distillery partners to select some of our favorite barrel-picks, and these bottles are co-branded so you can proudly display what you pedaled so hard to pick up. (Don’t forget, our incredible Bottle Sherpa Service is available to transport your bottles and other purchases back to Bourbon Base Camp each evening.)
Interested in some envy-inducing bottles? Here are the 2024 Bourbon Burn barrel picks:

The Bourbon Burn is proud to participate, once again, in Bluegrass Distiller’s Benefit Barrel Program. This year, $15 from each bottle sale benefits Broke Spoke Community Bike Shop (501c3), in Lexington, KY.
Not only does Broke Spoke do some wonderful things within our local bike community, they’re also located right next door to Bluegrass Distillers! So pop in and check out their operation as you pick up your commemorative bottle.
Bluegrass Distillers’ Toasted Oak single barrel bourbon whiskey is aged in charred oak barrels before being finished in toasted oak barrels for a minimum of 30 days.
Our teams will be selecting a barrel of Bluegrass Distillers’ Toasted Oak bourbon in August, and we’ll update you with the tasting notes at that time.
IMPORTANT! At the time of purchase please indicate whether you plan to pick up your bottle in-person at the distillery or at the Bottle Sherpa Tent in Bourbon Base Camp.

With a butterscotch nose rounding into fresh oak, you will also get hints of vanilla and rye spice. The taste is broad with a fulsome mouthfeel, leading to a sweeter vanilla accent, before a gathering of rye spices (clove, cinnamon, mint, dark berry) into the finish.
