We&#8217;re here to tell you this is not the case with <a href=\"https:\/\/bourbonham.com\/\">BourbonHam<\/a>! This annual fundraiser for the National MS Society which sells out months in advance is well on its way to becoming one of the premier bourbon events in the South. At BourbonHam, you&#8217;ll find an absurd amount of bourbons to taste along with seminars presented by top distillers, live music, BBQ, cigar tasting, and a silent auction of hard to find bourbons. Plus there&#8217;s NFL football to watch as BourbonHam is always held on the Sunday of the NFL playoff games. Now you understand it&#8217;s truly a must-attend event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly you&#8217;ve missed it this year\u2014it was Sunday, Jan. 21, at The Club atop Red Mountain in Birmingham. We recommend setting a reminder to purchase tickets when they go on sale in September\u2014you do not want to miss 2025 BourbonHam! [Pro tip &#8211; splurge for the VIP ticket as you will love the special perks!]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out pics from this year&#8217;s event
