Overview
Bourbon Toast 2025: Taking Kentucky Bourbon Global
Lewis once again raised a glass to global connection with the 2025 World Bourbon Toast™, created in partnership with the Kentucky Distillers’ Association for the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®. Building on last year’s success, the event expanded to an even larger stage — Bourbon & Beyond, the world’s largest food, Bourbon, and music festival. Broadcasting live from Louisville, Lewis brought together Bourbon fans from around the world for an immersive, day-long celebration of Kentucky’s most iconic spirit.

Approach
From live interviews with distillers and musicians to the “World’s Biggest Toast” on the festival’s main stage — attended by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear — the event showcased the power of cultural storytelling and real-time engagement. The result: a major lift in awareness, engagement, and global reach for the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® brand.
