Whether you’re a seasoned collector or discovering bourbon’s finest expressions for the first time, this intimate experience offers a journey into the world of rare whiskey unlike any other.

The Barrel Room Experience is more than a tasting — it’s a curated exploration of bourbon history, distilling artistry, and exceptional flavor profiles. You’ll discover some of the finest bourbons in the world, featuring selections from celebrated distillery Buffalo Trace, each chosen for their unique heritage and distinctive character. Examples include: Van Winkle 10 year, Pappy Van Winkle 20 year, Weller 12 Year, Stagg, George T Stagg, Sazerac 18, Eagle Rare 17 year.

This elevated experience, priced at $650 per person, includes:

• Three guided flights of exceptional bourbons, with insight into mashbills, aging processes, tasting notes, and legacy
• Exclusive pours from bottles seldom, if ever, available to the public
• A unique candle selected to mimic our Old Fashioned

Flight One – The Introduction
A foundation in Buffalo Trace’s mashbills: approachable, well-balanced expressions that highlight the signature character of each grain recipe.

Flight Two – The Elevation
Bolder, more complex selections from each mashbill — higher proofs, single barrels, and deeper oak influence, offering richer flavor and greater intensity.

Flight Three – The Pinnacle
Ultra-rare and highly aged examples of all three mashbills, showcasing extraordinary depth, opulence, and a finish that lingers long after the last sip.
