Linn,
If you go to the Bardstown Tour...eh, Bourbon Festival site you will see that there is a Sampler at the Wildlife center in Frankfort on June 16th. I assume the cost is the same as the Bardstown Sampler. JD Knaebel and his wife Kirsten were at the Frankfort Sampler last year and said it was very much the superior event. More distillers and less people so you actually had a chance to have a long conversation with people like Jimmy Russell or Jerry Dalton. Since Howie said he could not come for the April event, I suggested he come in for the June Sampler. I plan to go to the Frankfort Sampler, but I think I will pass on the Bardstown Sampler this year. I will be content to visit with some friends that come down for the Sampler in April, without going to the event itself.
