Tastings and Meetups

Bourbon is better with company. Some nights that means a Zoom window full of glasses, and some nights it means a bar and a handshake.

Ways we get together

  • Live Zoom tastings

    Pour along from your kitchen while the group talks through the same bottle together.

  • Distillery trips

    Group visits to distilleries, with tours, tastings, and a lot of talking in the van.

  • Bar nights and meetups

    Local get togethers where members bring a bottle and share it around.

  • Barrel pick sessions

    Taste the samples, make your case, and vote on the barrel we bottle for the group.

Tasting notes from these nights usually end up in our bottle reviews, so you can read what the group thought of a pour long after the glasses are washed.
