You can expect a professional hospitality environment featuring exclusive one ounce pours of highly coveted, rare bottles that you cannot find anywhere else in the region. Due to the limited nature of these allocations, the session operates on a first come basis while supplies last, with a strict limit of one pour per person per brand. Our layout provides the ideal balance of intimate lounge seating and easy access to talk shop with our expert bartenders. It is a premier lifestyle experience where the passion for rare whiskey meets our own passion for brewing. A night of sampling rare, heavy hitting bourbons is even better when you fuel up with the bold flavors coming out of our kitchen. The exclusive drink lineup features historic names and custom selections at unmatched pricing, including Van Winkle twelve year Special Reserve, King of Kentucky, Thomas H Handy Sazerac Rye, and Blanton's Straight From The Barrel. You can also sample our own custom Woodford Double Oaked, Knob Creek, and Old Forester Barrel Proof barrel picks, with bottles available for take home purchase. To complement these complex flavor profiles, our kitchen is serving up top tier plates built for a social crowd, such as our Fried Pickle Chips with chipotle ranch or our signature Philly Egg Rolls with chipotle aioli. For a meal that delivers, the Hot Honey Pizza with pepperoni and a spicy honey drizzle is a consistent hit for tables.
