Okay so here it is! I have over 40 different barrels of rye whiskey aging that are in 5 gallon barrels and they are all over 5 years old, making them some of the oldest juice we have here.
The experience will be for small groups of 6 or less and will include (Groups larger than 6 people will be charged $50 per additional person.):
-Something for us to eat while we taste barrels. I might cook, or my chef might cook, either way we are having a meal together.
- An average of 3-4 hours of experience where we talk, eat, sample 5 or 6 barrels, choose a barrel (or barrels) and then label and bottle the spirit. You will go home with your liquor on the same day as your experience.
-A hat for each person in attendance. This hat will show that you are a member of the private barrel club and will not be sale to anybody else. You have to buy a barrel to get one.
- Your choice of custom MDD rocks glasses or nosing glasses
-Labels on the bottles will be our normal labels for the type of spirit you pick. You will get to put your own initials on your bottle and give your own batch number (or name)
-Custom labels can be made but they will add significant cost and a considerable amount of time. (If you really want custom labels I suggest getting them made on your own and then applying after the event, I can even provide empty blank bottles so you don't have to peel ours off. If I get them made and apply them I would have to go through the process of getting it approved by the feds. ( Its a pain in the butt and can take a very long time)
Cost- $750 deposit (plus tax) to hold your spot which is applied towards the experience portion ($300) and $100 per bottle at barrel proof (we'll measure the whiskey before we bottle). There is no extra charge if we decided to proof down the spirit and in turn get more bottles. Remainder of payment will be made at the end of our time together and we will accept cash or credit card.
-5 gallon barrels will average a total cost of $1,800 dollars (plus tax) and yield an average of 15 bottles. (cost will change slightly based on total number of bottles the barrel yields.) (expect most barrels to have 12 to 16 bottles)
-You will be able to keep the barrel your whiskey came out of if you want to keep it. If you do not keep it you will be credited $50 towards your total.
Your private barrel experience will be scheduled after down payment is received. I will be scheduling them in the order that the down payments are received. Experiences will only be booked during times MDD on Sundays at 4pm. The last of my team will be out of here by 430 at the latest on the day of the event and your group, Chef Cameron, and I will be the only people in the building (I do reserve the right for my wife and toddler to drop in during the event). This is going to be the best possible private tour you could have anywhere.
I am starting off with only making 5 of these experiences available. More experiences may become available at a future date.
