We sit down with Brian Helton, VP of TKO Flight Club and co-founder of the Kentucky Bourby, to break down what’s ahead for the 5th annual event in 2026.

Brian shares how his journey into bourbon led to launching Kentucky Bourby, how the event has grown since its early days, and what makes it stand out—from a strong lineup of distilleries to live music, raffles, and an online bottle auction. We also dive into the atmosphere attendees can expect and why the event continues to sell out year after year.

Most importantly, we discuss the mission behind Kentucky Bourby and how every ticket directly supports the work of TKO Flight Club in helping those living with Parkinson’s. Also, for those who want to go, use BOURBYMIXED for 25% off tickets!
