THE APEX TIMES
Buffalo Trace Distillery’s “Night at the Distillery” returns with ghost stories, bourbon cocktails and illuminated warehouses through Oct. 31
The Halloween season event pairs narrated tales with bourbon drinks at the distillery, with the programming scheduled nightly until the end of October.
Buffalo Trace Distillery has brought back its seasonal “Night at the Distillery” experience, pairing guided, haunted-style storytelling with bourbon cocktail service and tours featuring illuminated warehouse areas through Oct. 31, according to LEX18.
The attraction is scheduled to run as a recurring, night-time event during the fall season, with the distillery’s programming centered on “haunted tales” presented to guests as part of the experience. LEX18 reported that the event combines the narratives with bourbon cocktails, designed to be part of the evening’s itinerary rather than a separate tasting stop.
Alongside the cocktail component, the distillery experience includes viewing areas set with lighting that highlights the distillery’s warehouse spaces. LEX18 said the illuminated stops are part of how guests move through the experience during the evenings in October.
The return of “Night at the Distillery” comes as Kentucky distilleries and local tourism operators typically expand special events during the Halloween period. In this case, Buffalo Trace’s event structure blends entertainment-style storytelling with drink service and a guided tour format, with the event window extending to the end of the month.
Details beyond the broad structure were not included in the LEX18 report, including pricing, capacity limits, or specific themes for each night. Event-goers are expected to follow Buffalo Trace’s published event information for admission arrangements and timing.
As the Oct. 31 end date approaches, the distillery’s nightly schedule will be the key operational factor for anyone planning to attend, particularly for visitors coordinating travel over multiple dates during the fall season.
