Bourbon Tasting Details
We have two great options for sampling Kentucky bourbons without all the driving to the various distilleries!
Innkeeper’s Personalized Bourbon Tasting
For fans of Kentucky Bourbon, the Bourbon distilleries are a must see! But, if you truly want to develop a taste for fine Kentucky Bourbon, The Innkeeper’s personalized private Bourbon Tasting with Dixon at Beaumont Inn is the only way to go (with no driving). We have more than 75 different bourbons! Dixon will take you through the taste profiles, history, and nuances of up to six Kentucky Bourbons as you taste together in the comfy confines of the Inn’s Tasting Room.
Two Tastings are available:
- For $45 per person, Dixon will take you through his Profile Tasting where you’ll develop a taste for the nuances of the different flavor profiles created by the different distilleries. If you think Bourbon is Bourbon, this tasting will show you how just how different bourbons can be.
- For $75 per person, Dixon will walk you through a sampling of up to five Ultra Premium Bourbons, including one or two you are unlikely to ever see again. His collection continues to grow; including such rarities as George T. Stagg, Pappy Van Winkle 20 & 23, many different offerings in the Willett Family Estate Bottling line, Jefferson’s Reserve Presidential bottlings, and many, many more.
This is the only way to see all that Kentucky Bourbon has to offer without having to leave your seat. Contact Dixon directly to discuss: dixon@beaumontinn.com. Please contact Dixon at least one week before you’ll be in the area, as these tastings book months in advance.
