Make Your Own Bourbon Workshop
The Dragon is excited to announce our Make Your Own Bourbon / Whiskey Workshop! We have a limited number of spaces in the workshops - and they will likely fill up fast. So - what is it? This is an educational and hands-on experience in an active distillery - where participants will be given instruction on the basic principles of distillation, the process, equipment, and materials. They will also participate in aspects of mash preparation, distillation, filtration, proofing, and bottling. Participants will then go home with their own barrel of whiskey! Depending on the option(s) selected, the workshop will run 3 - 4 hours over 1 or 2 days (the more hands-on options selected the longer the workshop). Workshops will be held evenings and weekends to allow for the greatest flexibility in participation. |
What do I get?
The workshops will be generally limited to 5 to 7 participants and all participants must be 21 years or older. We are able to accommodate groups and companies looking for an amazing team-building experience.
What are the Options?
We are offering a 1 and 2 day workshop (it isn't all day - but a few hours spread out over 1 or 2 days) - and we offer two different options for your whiskey - a 1L custom charred oak barrel and one 750ML bottle of base spirit or a 2L custom charred oak barrel and three 750ML bottles of base spirit.
