THE PORCH

Lunch Where Stories Live

Guests relax on the distillery’s back porch over a Kentucky box meal—potato chips, a homemade chocolate chip cookie, and a choice of soft drink, tea, or bottled water—while listening to founder Steve Smith’s porch lore.

THE TASTING

Four Single-Barrel Guided Tastings

After lunch, the founder leads a private tasting of four unique single barrels, each paired with its own sensory experience and concluding with a keepsake tasting glass for each guest.

THE KEEPSAKE

Optional Bottle Signing and Takeaways

Guests may opt for a bottle signing with the founder and each guest departs with a commemorative tasting glass—part memento, part proof of an afternoon spent eating, listening, and sampling.
