Dinner & Bourbon Blending Experience

From: $74.99

This is identical to our normal blending experience, but also includes dinner and a bonus cocktail to enjoy during dinner before the blending experience!

The evening starts at 6 PM with your choice of a cocktail from the bar and dinner provided by Nicholson’s. Their Pasta Alla Whiskey (vegetarian, but chicken available on the side) is phenomenal (sorry, no substitutions/additions/subtractions). The blending experience will start between 6:45 and 7 PM. You’ll also receive a bonus mini-flight of our Aglamesis chocolate sample for dessert (goes great with bourbon!).

The Pasta Alla Whiskey from Nicholson’s includes: cavatappi pasta, whiskey spiked tomato cream sauce, blackened chicken (on the side), spinach, parmesan, crushed red pepper & bread on the side.

 

Embark on a journey to the 1800s – the Golden Age of bourbon whiskey, learn the history of bourbon in Cincinnati, taste unique bourbons and then blend them to craft your personal recipe during this experience presentation! After the experience you’ll have the option to purchase, name, and go home with a bottle of your custom blend ($49.99, plus tax)

 

The Non-Bourbon Drinker option includes 2 drink tickets good for cocktails, mocktails, beer, or unlimited soda. (1 half-bottle of wine = 2 tickets). 

 

Optional Add-Ons:
  • Mini-charcuterie board (previously known as the “premium” add-on option)
  • Aglamesis Mini Chocolate Flight
  • Paint Your Bottle Package
  • The VIP Experience for that Special Guest
  •              

 

Looking for a private party? Please book 18 people (the entire room) for your time desired. Reach out to info@willowrunbourbon.com if you need additional time in the room (beyond 90 minutes- the experience will take about 60 minutes of that time, but your group is also welcome to continue to socialize in our bar area. Please also reach out if you need any additional accommodations (catering partner connections, etc.).

 

Well-behaved children are allowed in our experience room, but if they require a chair, a non-bourbon drinking option ticket would need to be purchased (we have great mocktails, soda, or can even swap out drink tickets for a bag of popcorn or a mini charcuterie board).

Our mini-charcuterie includes salami, cheese, crackers, and some of our bourbon pecans. Great, if you are looking for some additional food during the experience.
