With the 2012 Bourbon & Banter Pilgrimage open for registration I thought I’d give you a sneak peak into some of the trip details over the next few months. To kick things off I thought I’d share a photo of this kick-ass mini bourbon barrel that I received from our good friends over at Bluegrass Barrels. They were kind enough to provide me with the barrel so I could test it out and provide my readers with an in-depth review of their product. That review will be done over the next several weeks and I can’t wait to share with you my thoughts and results.

I’m also excited to let you know that one lucky Pilgrimage attendee will win their very own mini barrel from Bluegrass Barrels. That’s right folks! Come join us for the bourbon & banter and leave with a barrel to try your own hand at making a customized bourbon for your friends & family. And you never know…Bluegrass Barrels might just have a few more surprises for those on the tour this year.

If any of you have ever tried your hand at creating a modified bourbon using a barrel like this please let us know about it in the comments below. I look forward to seeing a few of you in October on the Pilgrimage.
