Bartenders will also be competing against each other to create the best whiskey cocktail. After sampling the drinks, attendees will vote on their favorite.

The event runs from 7-10 p.m. Tickets are $60 per person. There's also an option to join a VIP session before the festival begins – when rare and hard-to-find whiskeys will be served.

The Whiskey Bonanza is held each year in celebration of National Bourbon Heritage Month, which is celebrated in September.

Bonus: As part of National Bourbon Heritage Month, the Twisted Tail hosts free whiskey tastings every Friday at 6 p.m. throughout September.
