Blind tastings of four 750mL bottles can range from 1.5-2 hours or more. Our Stewards will typically spend 15-20 minutes on each bottle, depending on the group’s level of discussion and questions.
More than 10 guests would require additional bottles, 750mL is roughly 25 fluid oz. Each guest will receive a 1oz pour of each leaving a few drams in each bottle to enjoy after. Plus, this keeps it more intimate for thought provoking conversations amongst your guests.
This is a blind tasting, so it will be the Bourbon Stewards choice. We are open to requests of types of spirits ie: Whiskey – Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Rye Whiskey, 2 Bourbon & 2 Ryes, Across State Lines, Single Barrel ; Rum – Light or Dark; Tequila – Blanco, Anejo, Reposado, or all three.
We want to make sure we have everything ready to make this an event your guests will speak of for years to come. If a Banquet Tasting License is required it will take 7-10 days for VA ABC to process the request.
