3rd Annual Whisky Jewbilee Chicago

You may remember my post from a few months ago where I interviewed  Whiskey Jewbilee founder, Joshua Hatton. They’re all set for the 2017 Whiskey Jewbilee in Chicago and he’s offering a discount for all Bourbonr readers! The promo code is “BRBR217” and gives you 15% off your ticket price. And more importantly, a chance to buy a bottle of their new release. This year’s Whisky Jewbilee bottle is a 9yo Wild Turkey from Rickhouse G, 6th floor, and bottled at 61.0% ABV.
