(Louisville, KY) The Kentucky Derby is all about horses, fashion, bourbon and food.  When you mix bourbon, chocolate and cheesecake you have a real celebration.  DB Bourbon Candy adds another feather to their Derby hat after closing a major deal just before Churchill Downs begins their season.  DB Bourbon Candy and Aubrey’s Concessions have teamed up to give you the perfect treat for Oaks and Derby.

For the first time DB Bourbon Candy will be serving Bourbon Cheesecake’s inside Resized_20180321_204200Churchill Downs using Old Forester Bourbon.  The cheesecakes are topped with caramel nuts and a fleur de lis chocolate discs. By incorporating the Old Forester, which is the official bourbon for Churchill Downs gives a winning combination as racing fans from all over the world attend the greatest two minutes in sports.

To find DB Bourbon Candy inside Churchill Downs in four locations on the grounds. They will be at the Lobster stands the one in the paddock, one in upper garden terrace, one down by the celebrity red carpet exit and one on gray floor.

Robyn Stuart, owner of DB Bourbon Candy, LLC says “This is a special moment for me and my company.  Being a Kentucky native and to have my product at the greatest racetrack in the world on their two biggest days shows that hard work and dedication is paying off.  I kept my blinders on and refused to let anyone say that I dream to big.  Look at us now.  We’ve made it to the “Twin Spires”. It’s a honor to work with Aubrey’s Concessions and I can’t wait for you to stop by and taste this unbelievable Kentucky Derby treat.”

In 2002, Stuart started her business after the passing of her mother.   During the holidays, her mother would create the delicious treat as a family tradition. Robyn wanted to honor her mother in some way so she decided to start the business and make the original candy recipe apart of her business. With the support of Four Roses Distillery, Louisville Convention Center and Bourbon Country as well as the many events and activities she participates in everyone loves to see the wonderful creation that she produces.  From initially starting with candy the business has grown into developing other products such as chocolate covered fruit, cheesecakes to chocolate covered popcorn.
