Our Experiences

Option 1:  Our Full Custom Bourbon Blending Experience 

Hands on at Willow Run. Taste 6 unique bourbons and create YOUR custom bourbon, just like people did right here in Cincinnati in the 1800s, when whiskey was of the people, by the people and for the people. Custom bourbon enables YOU to discover your bourbon whiskey preferences & create your personal recipe.

Reservations are highly recommended to reserve a spot, but walk-ins may be available.

Option 2:  “Flight School” at the Willow Run Teaching Bar 

Join us at our teaching bar for a flight of our flagship bourbons from our wood series. You’ll try our easy drinking Curious Cask bourbon, our rich and complex Opulent Oak bourbon, and smoked luxury bourbon called Smoky Stave. We’ll pair these with 3 seasonal bourbon cocktails inspired by 1800s recipes.

Flight School only takes about 20-30 minutes. Walk-ins only.

We also offer full pours of our bourbons, select seasonal cocktails, non-alcoholic options, and a few guest beers and wines for those that are not bourbon curious.

 

Option 3:  Online AI Wizard, Custom Bourbon Recipe Generator 

In a matter of a minute or two, you can have your very own custom bourbon recipe. Answer 13 questions for the AI Wizard and it will match you with a bourbon blend just for you.

Once you have your recipe, you can try a sample at the teaching bar, have a full pour, or even order a bottle. You can even add the recipe QR code to your Apple Wallet.
