It’s officially time to start thinking about the 150th Kentucky Derby and the two-week Kentucky Derby Festival that precedes the “greatest two minutes in sports.” The Evan Williams Bourbon Experience (EWBE) in downtown Louisville released its special edition bottle of Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon dipped in silver wax this week. The bottle includes a commemorative 52nd Edition Gold Pegasus Pin.

This is the eighth year that the EWBE has sponsored the Kentucky Derby Festival. There are more than 70 events around the Metro Louisville area leading up to the horse race on Saturday, May 8, 2024.
