Tuesday afternoon (1/11/21), organizers of the Kentucky Bourbon Benefit auction will present a check to Gov. Andy Beshear for $3.4 million raised to help relief efforts from the tornados that ravaged Western Kentucky in December.
The Kentucky Distillers’ Association partnered with the Bourbon Crusaders charitable organization and Bourbon curator Fred Minnick on the six-day auction of rare bottles, private barrel selections and more. The www.kybourbonbenefit.com auction site is still accepting donations and businesses continue to match funds. Proceeds from the benefit are going to the Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund.
