Curated Whisky Tastings
for Every Occasion

Private parties. Corporate dinners. Team celebrations. Guided by a certified Executive Bourbon Steward with a 285-bottle collection and a philosophy grounded in education, not hype.

Two Ways to Experience Whisky

Private Parties

An intimate guided tasting for your home gathering, anniversary celebration, or group of enthusiast friends. Ideal for 6–20 guests who want to learn, discover, and enjoy bourbon and whisky together in a relaxed setting.

6–20 Guests In-Home Customizable

Corporate Events

A polished, memorable experience for company dinners, client entertainment, team-building sessions, or offsite retreats. Designed to spark conversation, impress guests, and leave a lasting impression — without the pretension.

How a Tasting Unfolds
01

Custom Flight

I curate a 4–6 expression flight tailored to your group — accessible for newcomers, engaging for enthusiasts.

02

Guided Evaluation

Color, nose, palate, finish. Each pour is unpacked with storytelling — history, distillery, mashbill, and what to look for.

03

Live Q&A

No scripted lecture. Open dialogue, honest answers, and real conversation about what’s in the glass.

04

Takeaways

Guests leave with a richer vocabulary, sharper palate, and a short list of bottles worth seeking out.

Flight Curation

Expressions selected to tell a cohesive story — wheated vs. rye, age, proof, and producer.

Educational Narrative

The story behind each pour — who made it, where, how, and why it tastes the way it does.

Tasting Notes Reference

Printed or digital tasting card so guests can follow along and remember what they loved.

Proof & Water Education

How to properly add water, find your proof sweet spot, and unlock more from every glass.

Buying Recommendations

Personalized suggestions for what to explore next, matched to each guest’s palate.

Pre-Event Consultation

A conversation before the event to tailor the experience to your group’s knowledge level and goals.

Certified to Certify — I Teach the Official Course, Too

Beyond hosting tastings, I teach the official Bourbon Steward certification curriculum from the Stave & Thief Society. Students come away with the knowledge to evaluate bourbon with confidence, understand production and provenance, and lead their own tasting experiences. DMVWhisky Education is also a proud Stave & Thief Establishment Member.

“Education over hype. Every tasting is designed to build real understanding — not to impress, but to open up the glass so guests walk away knowing more than when they arrived.”

— Bruce, Executive Bourbon Steward & Founder, DMVWhisky
