An Evening with Freddie Johnson

It is an honor and a privilege to welcome the inimitable FREDDIE JOHNSON to our Prohibition Bourbon Bar for an evening of great bourbon and lively storytelling.

This event will be held on Friday, March 3, from 6:30 - 9:00 PM. TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!

For most Buffalo Trace bourbon enthusiasts, Freddie Johnson needs no introduction. As a third generation employee at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, Freddie serves as its Distillery VIP Visitor Lead, and is the Distillery’s most popular and highly sought after tour guide. He was inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame in 2018, and is the recipient of several industry honors and awards. To us, Freddie is our friend and forever Daddy’O.  

Freddie weaves together his childhood memories with the Distillery’s rich history as he entertains thousands each year in various tours around Buffalo Trace. And at the Prohibition Bourbon Bar, we expect he will do the same.  

Guests will enjoy an Old Charter Welcome Cocktail, followed by a flight of all six of the Buffalo Trace Benchmark expressions, including Benchmark, Full Proof, Top Shelf, Bonded, Single Barrel & Small Batch. The tasting will be the first held in our newly minted Stitzel-Weller Room.  

Cost: $89.99/person (+tax)  

We hope you will join us for a priceless evening with our favorite Freddie. (Just don’t tell the cat we named after him we said that. Freddie is very sensitive. Our cat, that is.)
