THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 2024 AT 6:30PM
Bourbon Sessions at the Ripy Mansion is pleased to welcome back Alex Castle, Master Distiller and Senior Vice President of Old Dominick Distillery.
Making spirits isn’t as much a job as it is a calling, and Alex Castle found hers early on. As a Kentucky native, there’s a passion for good bourbon that runs deep. As a chemical engineer, there’s a love of the process that takes something simple and makes it sublime.
Alex’s talent passion, and creativity are why she was supervising Wild Turkey’s 24-hour-a-day operation at only 24 years old, and why we’re proud to have her continue the Old Dominick legacy.
For her many accomplishments and tireless pursuit of excellence, Alex Castle was appointed as the state of Tennessee’s first female Head Distiller. She now holds the title Master Distiller and Senior Vice President. In 2020, Alex was elected the first female President of the Tennessee Distillers Guild, a position she still holds today.
Alex also represents craft distillers across the country as Vice Chair of the Craft Advisory Council for the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.
Come join us as Alex shares all the new and exciting things she and the Old Dominick team have been up to since her last visit!

Join us as we welcome Brian Haara, author of Bourbon Justice: How Whiskey Law Shaped America, as he discusses the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897.
Brian has practiced law in Kentucky for 25 years, where since 2011 Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers recognize him as one of the top business litigators in the Commonwealth. But best of all, he found a way to combine his passions for law, bourbon, and history with dusty bourbon stories that play out better than fiction. Brian found that old bourbon lawsuits tell the real story of bourbon history, and those stories are better than marketing tales.
Brian is author of Bourbon Justice: How Whiskey Law Shaped America, which tells the history of bourbon through American litigation and how America’s business developed around — and because of — whiskey. He’s also the author of the popular bourbon blog, Sipp’n Corn, he’s on the monthly podcast, Bourbon Community Roundtable with Bourbon Pursuit, and Brian gained national recognition for winning judgement in Sazerac v. Peristyle, which established a groundbreaking expansion to the fair use defense to trademark claims.
Brian has shared his dusty bourbon stories in events at the Frazier History Museum, Bourbon & Beyond, as a University guest lecturer, and at bourbon seminars and guided tastings across the country.
In this Bourbon Sessions at the Ripy Mansion, Brian will discuss how The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 plays a prominent role in bourbon and legal history. Brian will guide us through a tasting including Old Forestor 1897 Bottled in Bond, Henry McKenna 10-year Single Barrel Bottled in Bond, and Old Grand-Dad Bottled in Bond.
Tasting will be accompanied by light appetizers. Cash bar and tours of the Historic T.B. Ripy Mansion will also be available. Net proceeds go directly towards the maintenance and continued restoration efforts of the T.B. Ripy Mansion.

Bourbon Sessions at the Ripy Mansion is pleased to welcome John Wadell, Single Barrel Curator, Mixologist & Bourbon Executive Steward at Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co.
John has been a vital part of Peerless since the beginning of 2017. He’s immersed himself in every aspect of the craft, from public relations to cooking and distillation. His vast understanding of the spirit and process makes him the ideal single barrel curator. Dedicated to upholding Peerless integrity, John oversees rare Peerless and Rye Whiskey barrels that highlight distinctive profiles. John specializes in facilitating the investigation of these unique barrels to be offered exclusively by Peerless partners. Serving as the brand Mixologist, John also carefully crafts the Peerless caliber cocktail formulas that are shared with Peerless patrons and mixologists that serve Peerless whiskey across the country.
Tasting will be paired with light appetizers. As always, tours of the Ripy Mansion and the cash bar will also be available.
