Whiskey Tasting Experience

Enjoy whiskeys that have been chosen based on you and your guests preferences & knowledge of whiskey.

Whiskey + Education = A Classic Tasting is perfect for a standalone corporate tasting or integrated into a larger corporate event and can be hosted in person or virtually.

Enjoy an evening of whiskey paired with a gourmet meal that will surprise and delight your guests.

Whiskey + Food = Whiskey Dinners are a great way to entertain sales prospects, thank existing clients, or celebrate your team's success.

Guests can enjoy a variety of Tequilas offered from one or more bars set up throughout your event.

Whiskey + Social = For larger events, a whiskey-tasting bar is a great way to provide guests with an amazing variety of whiskeys while they mix and mingle.

The cost of a Whiskey Tasting Experience is dependent on the number of people attending, the whiskeys to be sampled, and the selection of additional event options (e.g., custom glassware, cocktail stations, etc.) In-home tastings start at $650, while corporate events start at $800. (Prices do not include the whiskey cost for your event.)

Each Whiskey Tasting Experience includes the following:

• Pre-event planning consultation by phone or Zoom to select the tasting's whiskeys based on your preferences regarding whiskey style, number of selections, and liquor budget.
• Coordination of liquor procurement for your event
• Customized tasting aids (e.g., flavor wheels, tasting mats, signage) for your event
• Food pairing recommendations for your event's whiskey selections
• An entertaining certified whiskey expert to lead the tasting, provide whiskey education, and answer questions from your guests
• Opportunity to enjoy additional whiskey samples following the formal presentation while supplies last (any remaining whiskey is yours to keep)
• Free Gift – Each of your guests will receive a code that allows them to download their very own copy of our Bourbon Flavor Wheel and Tasting Mat Template Bundle to put their newfound whiskey knowledge into action with their family and friends.
• Bragging rights for hosting the best event of the year

Food is not included in the cost of your whiskey tasting. We will provide basic food pairing recommendations, or for an additional fee, we will consult with your venue's chef or catering staff to craft a one-of-a-kind menu paired with your event's whiskeys of choice.

All guests must be at least 21 to attend a DrinkCurious Whiskey Tasting Experience. The event host (you or your company) is responsible for confirming that all attendees are at least 21. Bourbon & Banter reserves the right to request proof of age for any guest that we feel may not meet the legal drinking age requirements.

Every state has a different set of laws addressing the purchase of vintage spirits. DrinkCurious will work within the laws of your event's location to procure any whiskey you want to include in your tasting. However, we do not guarantee our ability to locate and procure vintage whiskeys on your behalf. Details related to this service will be discussed in advance and properly documented in our service contract for your review and approval. Please book your event at least 3 months in advance if you want to explore adding vintage whiskeys to your tasting.

The number of whiskeys will vary according to your preferences and budget. DrinkCurious recommends that a tasting includes at least four whiskeys to provide an enjoyable experience for your guests.

The duration of an in-person corporate tasting depends on the event format, the number of guests in attendance, and additional options included in the overall tasting experience. Our experience, however, is that a minimum of two hours is required. We recommend 1 to 1.5 hours for virtual tastings but are willing to fit the virtual tasting to meet your company's timing requirements.

Absolutely! We're honored to have led tastings for thousands of guests with nothing but 5-star reviews and feedback. But don't take our word for it, check out what some of our clients have to say about their experience working with DrinkCurious.
