More than $30,000 raised for people in need!

St. Louis Cardinals fans mixed and mingled with Kyle Gibson, Lance Lynn, Alec Burleson and 18 other members of the Cardinals organization during the first-ever Bats & Barrels charity whiskey tasting. The event raised $31,400 for Big League Impact, our Mission 3:18 charity partners and the Trace Bittle Scholarship Fund.

Participating players included Brendan Donovan, Tommy Edman, Ryan Fernandez, Nolan Gorman, Ryan Helsley, John King, Andrew Kittredge, Matthew Liberatore, Steven Matz, Miles Mikolas, Riley O’Brien, Pedro Pages, Andre Pallante, Drew Rom and Michael Siani, as well as pitching coach Dusty Blake, athletic trainer Chris Conroy and manager Oli Marmol.

Special thanks to our hosts at Adventure Unknown and all of our generous sponsors for their support of this event — Boondocks, The Cigar Vault, El Agave, The Estep Law Firm, Kinney Contractors and The Landing Hub. The event also would not have been possible without our participating spirits vendors: Angel’s Envy, Beam Suntory, Elijah Craig, Heaven Hill, Larceny Bourbon, Limestone Branch, Luxco, Lux Row, the Missouri Whiskey Society, Penelope, Rabbit Hole, Ross & Squib, Yellowstone and Washington Distilling Co.
