Pennington Distilling Company recently announced the launch of The Davidson Reserve Blend Your Own Bottle Experience.
Jeff Pennington, the distillery’s owner and co-founder, and its Master Distiller Carter Collins, along with a staff of blenders guide guests through their personalized blending of either Tennessee whiskey, bourbon, or rye from the aged barrels in our rick house.
First, guests choose sample selections of their whiskey of choice that come from barrels chosen by Pennington and Collins. These variations are the basis for building a personal blend. Then, they taste each sample and record their impressions. The flavor wheel will assist in identifying notable tastes to build a flavor profile for each guest’s palate. Guests then blend their different combinations, building aroma, body, and finish into a personalized final blend. Finally, after designing the custom blend, a personalized bottle will await each person at the end of the event.
“We are excited to offer this fun and personalized experience of blending your own bottle to the Davidson Reserve lovers locally and to visitors from across the U.S.” says Pennington. “It’s truly the ultimate in-depth experience for whiskey connoisseurs as well as a great introduction to whiskey novices.”
This blending experience is offered the second Tuesday of each month at 5:30pm CST. The event is limited to 24 guests. A private evening can be booked with the special events department.
The cost of $200 per person includes the Blend Your Own Bottle experience, a self-guided distillery tour, catered hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, and a personalized engraved Davidson Reserve bottle. Guests may also purchase up to 5 additional bottles of their blend for $75 per bottle.
