Our first Bourbon tasting was wonderful! Mimi is very knowledgeable and professional. She let us ask lots of novice questions. Nate added to our excellent experience. The decor is lovely, well thought out, and definitely elevates the experience. I highly recommend a stop here.

We really enjoyed ourselves and we learned a few things as well. Fun and interactive. Also, the host asked about food allergies and stated that there was an EPI-PEN there, just in case. I liked the forward thinking. A great one-time informative and relaxing experience.
Must do

Not your average tasting! It's an experience on how to maximize your future flavors , easy to drink bourbon neat but did you ever wonder why sometimes the same drink can taste so different depending on when/ how you drink it?
Highly Recommend

It was different from all of the other distilleries we have been to. This was the first time we had a distillery offer a tasting with a food pairing and with the chance to make your own old fashion. It was a great experience, the two guys, Rob and George, who were doing the tasting were a joy to talk with and knew their product. I would highly recommend doing this. We booked on line but walk-ins are welcome.
