Louisville, Kentucky’s Speed Art Museum just announced the lineup for its seventh annual Art of Bourbon auction — and it’s stacked with some of the whiskey world’s most sought-after bottles.
The live auction will take place on September 12 from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. EST, and will present 35 lots including ultra-rare bourbons as well as exclusive distillery experiences. Some of the bottles up for bidding including a coveted 2017 Michter’s 25-Year-Old (one of only 317 bottles made that year), a bottle of Old Forester from 1947, the 1976 Bicentennial Commemorative Bourbon distilled at the original Willett Distillery in 1959, and a Very Old Fitzgerald bottled in 1966. The museum is also auctioning off an entire Pappy vertical, including six bottles of Pappy signed exclusively by Julian Van Winkle III, which is expected to go for about $30,000.
