You Do Bourbon

At this interactive, elevated tasting
experience, you can taste, bottle and
personalize your very own bottle to take home.

Taste

Taste

Step into our classroom for a hosted tasting. You'll sample different Bourbons and will be encouraged to take notes as you go. Making the tasting even more special, you won't find these bottles on the shelf. The Bourbons are specifically mingled for, or are exclusive to, the experience.

Bottle

Bottle

If you decide to purchase a bottle, you'll head to the bottling room. Here, you'll be doing everything yourself, from rinsing and manning the bottling station to filling out your label and getting that perfect placement.

Inspect

Explore

While your bottle is being wrapped up in the gift shop, take your time exploring the hands-on lab. Inspect yeast under a microscope, gauge the proof of whiskey and test your sense of smell at the nosing station.
