Willow Run Custom Bourbon Blending Experiences
Saturday, October 17 at Willow Run Custom Bourbon Experiences, Cincinnati
About this event
Experience Cincinnati’s interactive bourbon destination at Willow Run, located in the heart of downtown. This one-of-a-kind event invites you to taste, blend and bottle your own custom whiskey while uncovering the story of American bourbon. Each experience begins with six distinct wood-finished bourbons, showcasing how craftsmanship, wood and time influence flavor. Learn the art of blending, then create a personalized bottle to take home. Along the way, enjoy bourbon popcorn, local pecans and a full-service bar while hearing the tale of W.J. McRoberts - an early Cincinnati distiller whose innovative spirit inspired Willow Run’s founding. Perfect for celebrations, team-building outings or anyone looking to explore Cincinnati’s bourbon culture, Willow Run offers experiences throughout the day, including the Custom Bourbon Blending Experience, Dinner & Blending Experience and My Old Fashioned, My Way Cocktail Experience. Non-bourbon drinkers can join the fun with cocktail-focused options, while the 1800s Cincinnati Baseball & Bourbon Blending Experience combines local history with bourbon. You can also stop by anytime for a cocktail or bourbon flight. Blend your own story at Willow Run, a one-of-a-kind bourbon experience in Cincinnati.
