The cost of a Corporate Whiskey Tasting Experience is dependent on the format (in person or virtual), the amount of people attending, the whiskeys to be sampled, and the selection of additional event options (e.g., custom glassware, cocktail stations, etc.) In person corporate tastings can be book for as little as $650 while virtual tasting corporate tastings begin at $800.

Each Whiskey Tasting Experience includes the following:

• Pre-event planning consultation by phone or Zoom to select the tasting's whiskeys based on the Client's preferences regarding whiskey style, number of selections, and liquor budget.
• Coordination of liquor procurement for your event
• Customized tasting aids (e.g., flavor wheels, tasting mats, signage) for your event
• Food pairing recommendations for your event's whiskey selections
• An entertaining certified whiskey expert to lead the tasting, provide whiskey education, and answer questions from your guests
• Opportunity to enjoy additional whiskey samples following the formal presentation while supplies last (any remaining whiskey is yours to keep)
• Free Gift – Each of your guests will receive a code that allows them to download their very own copy of our Bourbon Flavor Wheel and Tasting Mat Template Bundle to put their new found whiskey knowledge into action with their family and friends.
• Bragging rights for hosting the best event of the year

Food is not included in the cost of your whiskey tasting. We will provide basic food pairing recommendations, or for an additional fee, we will consult with your venue's chef or catering staff to craft a one-of-a-kind menu paired to your event's whiskeys of choice.

Yes, all guests must be at least 21 years of age to attend a Bourbon & Banter Whiskey Tasting Experience. It is the responsibility of the event host (you or your company) for confirming that all attendees are at least 21 years of age. Bourbon & Banter reserves the right to request proof of age for any guest that we feel may not meet the legal drinking age requirements.

Every state has a different set of laws addressing the purchase of vintage spirits. Bourbon & Banter will work within the laws of your event's location to procure any whiskey you would like to include in your tasting. However, we do not guarantee our ability to locate and procure vintage whiskeys on your behalf. Details related to this service will be discussed in advance and properly documented in our service contract for your review and approval. Please book your event a minimum of 3-months in advance if you're interested in exploring adding vintage whiskeys to your tasting.

The number of whiskeys will vary according to your preferences and budget. Bourbon & Banter recommends that a tasting include at least four whiskeys to provide an enjoyable experience for your guests.

The duration of an in person corporate tasting is highly dependent on the format of the event, number of guests in attendance, and additional options included in the over all tasting experience. Our experience however is that a minimum of two hours is required. For virtual tastings, we recommend 1 to 1.5 hours but are willing to fit the virtual tasting to meet your company's timing requirements.

Absolutely! We're honored to have led tastings for thousands of guests with nothing but 5-star reviews and feedback. But don't take our word for it, check out what some of our clients have to say about their experience working with Bourbon & Banter.
