Bourbon Boots and Blues Greenwood Returns to Support Greenwood Performing Arts
Bourbon Boots and Blues Greenwood returns on March 12 at the Inn on the Square. Each year, this evening draws guests who appreciate live blues, rare bourbon, and meaningful conversation. It is not a typical tasting. Instead, it is an experience shaped by intention, craftsmanship, and community.
The bourbons featured at Bourbon Boots and Blues Greenwood are selected with care. Guests taste different expressions and varied ages side by side. This approach shows how time and barrel influence shape each pour. As a result, people slow down, compare notes, and enjoy the moment.
The Story Behind Bourbon Boots and Blues Greenwood
Wes Timmerman stands at the center of the evening. Fifteen years ago, he began searching for a bottle most collectors only discuss: Pappy Van Winkle 23. That search led him to a private tasting where exceptional pours and thoughtful pairings revealed a deeper bourbon culture. Since then, he has built relationships with collectors, distillers, and fellow enthusiasts. Today, those connections shape what he shares at Bourbon Boots and Blues Greenwood.
Wes works alongside longtime friends Tom Dorn and Craig Williams. Together, they provide the selections, the knowledge, and the generous spirit behind the event. Each pour has a purpose. Some selections invite guests to linger, while others surprise them. Above all, the evening encourages people to open good bottles and enjoy them together.
As the night unfolds, blues music fills the room. Conversations begin between people who may not have met otherwise. It is one of those evenings where half the room knows each other and the other half quickly finds common ground.
Each ticket includes a curated bourbon flight. In addition, guests may purchase extra pours to explore further. Proceeds from Bourbon Boots and Blues Greenwood support Greenwood Performing Arts and its cultural programming.
Lisa Sanders, Executive Director of Greenwood Performing Arts, leads an organization that presents performances throughout the season. These programs range from intimate musical events to larger cultural productions. As a result, the community has regular opportunities to engage with the arts.
