Private Tastings/Bespoke Spirits
When we started making whiskey, we followed the craft brewers around. We would buy a wash from local brewers, load the still, pack a barrel with whiskey, put it on the wall and forget about it.
When the whiskey had aged, we would crack the barrel, bottle it up and have whiskey for sale. At that point it was sort of like "souvenir whiskey" from your favorite brewery. They were super small batches. 77 bottles made from Full Steam. 88 bottles from Bond Brothers.
​
Our Small Batch Malt Whiskey would sell quickly. We would invite the brewers down the lane to do a "tap takeover," where they could talk about their products, and sell their wares. We would have whiskey for sale, and then it would all be gone.
​
Not anymore. Now when we "drop a batch of whiskey" it is 100 bottles every time. And we keep four batches on hand. Nowadays you can always get a bottle of whiskey at Fair Game AND now you can book a private tasting!
The evening generally begins with a charcuterie board of meats, cheeses, and pantry items to cleanse the palette in between tastes. Participants arrive 15 minutes early to get their charcuterie board set up, and then settle into a tasting of the different whiskey batches, with an explanation of the flavor profile of each from our head distiller.
​
We provide clipboards for tasting notes. At the end of the night, our guests are invited to buy a bottle of their own design. If you like the smoothness of Batch 6, but the fruity finish of Batch 8, we can fill a bottle that is 50/50 for you.
​
We provide you with a label and a Sharpie--and you can label it yourself!

Bespoke Spirits. Made for you. Your taste. Your preference. Your whiskey.
