About this event
An Invitation for the True Connoisseur: The Polaris Pour, Bourbon at the Gate, is a two-day celebration featuring America’s most elusive, highly-awarded, and nearly impossible-to-find whiskies—all gathered for a select group of discerning guests. Discover award-winning Bourbon, Rye, Special Barrel Finished Whiskey, American Single Malt Whiskey, and delicious whiskey-friendly cuisine. Immerse yourself in exclusive, hands-on masterclasses on cocktails, distilling, and the art of special barrel finishing. Enjoy private, up-close conversations with the makers and partake in intimate tastings designed for true aficionados. The Bourbon Baron Silent Auction will present rare and highly allocated spirits—including Eagle Rare 17, Eagle Rare 12, and William Larue Weller—offered only to our esteemed attendees, with proceeds benefitting the Colorado Veterans Project.
