Join Bourbon Women for a fun and immersive afternoon at Whiskey Acres Distilling Co., one of the Midwest’s best examples of grain-to-glass whiskey. We’ll kick things off with a welcome cocktail before heading behind the scenes for a guided tour of the distillery (tour starts PROMPTLY at 2pm, plan to arrive 15 min early). You’ll learn how Whiskey Acres grows their own corn, rye, and wheat and how those grains shape the flavor in every bottle. Then, settle in for a special barrel tasting led by Pat Brophy, former Single Barrel Specialist for Binny’s. You’ll taste through unique barrels, explore the influence of different grains, and gain a deeper understanding of how whiskey evolves from field to barrel. To top it off, you’ll have the opportunity to bottle your own whiskey straight from the barrel an unforgettable, hands-on experience (optional add-on). What to Expect: -
Welcome cocktail -
Guided distillery tour -
Grain-focused education (corn, rye, and more) -
Barrel tasting of select expressions -
Led by whiskey expert Pat Brophy -
Optional bottle-your-own experience ($70–$90 additional) Whiskey Acres is more than a distillery, it’s a working farm with a passion for showcasing how grain makes a difference. Come experience it for yourself. Must be 21+ to attend. Please sip responsibly.
