Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bringing Australia’s biggest whiskey tasting event to Henson Park on August 31st. This is the ultimate day out for whiskey lovers, sports fans, or anyone looking for a ripper Father’s Day gift.

We’re taking over the Newtown Jets pitch with tastings from Buffalo Trace, the most awarded distillery in the world. Plus, we’ve got brews from the local legends at Philter and a mouthwatering feast from Sydney's Black Bear BBQ. After the Newtown Jets vs. Warriors game wraps up the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup, stick around for a dram good time.

A massive 100-metre table will span the Henson Park pitch, featuring 250 seats to celebrate Buffalo Trace Distillery's 250th anniversary. We’re turning Henson Park into a Bourbon, BBQ & Beer lover's paradise.

The night’s hosted by Andrew Barnett, one of Australia’s top comedians and a familiar face in the footy world, along with Buffalo Trace Distillery expert Gee David. Expect a guided tasting, exclusive stories, plenty of laughs, and maybe even a surprise appearance from some of our rarest and most distinguished brands.
