A private whiskey tasting is a perfect occasion to meet with family or friends – and together you can enjoy whiskey at its best.

Bourbon U excels at creating affordable live, virtual private whiskey tasting events for you and your guests –  from the comfort of your own home… ask how we can customize an exceptional event for you!

Bourbon U can also appear IN-PERSON for you and your guests – drop us a note!

Each whiskey tasting event is curated, meaning the service can be tailored to fit your specific requirements and we will do our utmost to make your ideas become a reality.  Our tastings and classes can also be incorporated into a larger event – regardless of the size – to make it special.

Two Glencairns

The most popular events are tutored whiskey tasting evenings held in your desired location.  This could be in the comfort of your own home, at your favorite restaurant, or any venue.  You can enjoy an evening whiskey dinner or a customized tasting event, the choice is yours.

We aim to cover whiskeys of the world – diversity is paramount and there are beautiful creations all over – but we have a special place in our heart for the full-flavored American whiskeys.

A Dram & A Morsel

A selection of whiskeys paired with hors d’oeuvres can be offered in a seated technical-style event, or more like a ‘mini-festival’ suitable for Mix and Mingle events.  In a seated event presented by one of our Trusted Experts, you will learn about the subtle nuance of the different spirits in your lineup with select “small bites”. More elaborate catering can be arranged upon request.

Beverage Consulting

If you’re thinking of planning a wedding, anniversary, birthday party, family celebration or any other function, consider us to make the event extra special. Our experts will help with the appropriate pairing of food and beverages (including beer, whiskey, or wine), taking care of all aspects of the beverage selection.

What we don’t do:

Bourbon U does NOT sell alcohol. We are an independent team that provides a full 360 degree approach to whiskey education and entertainment. We do not offer alcohol for sale at events. However, we will research a curated list of whiskey selections for your event from retailers in your area.
