Taste. Blend. Bottle.

Join us every Thursday in our West Newport Campus Tasting Room and spend a couple of hours experiencing the fine balance between art and science as you blend your very own bottle of whiksey. You’ll create your personal blend based on the practices our distilling team uses in our sensory lab. Consider the intricacies and differences between individual barrels, and create your own test blends, tasting and analyzing how the puzzle pieces of flavor, texture, and aroma fit together.

Our team will guide your hands-on experience as you taste and blend three individual barrels into your perfectly balanced blend, ultimately bottling your very own creation to take home.

There is limited seating for the Blend experience. Tickets are $90 per person and include your 750ml bottle.  Blend experience alternates each week between Bourbon Blend or Rye Blend. Select the Bourbon Blend or Rye Blend buttons below for specific Blend experience.
