Unlock the world of Bourbon with Bourbon Basics - your go-to for a beginner's guide to American whiskeys, curated by our expert host, Harry. Let's get down to basics. Maybe you've heard that Bourbon can only be made in Kentucky. Maybe you're sick of ordering Bulleit because you can't think of another Bourbon you like. Maybe you've never even tried brown liquor. Whatever your situation, this is the place to start. Bourbon Basics is a great way to get into whiskey as a beginner, or to develop your appreciation for spirits. Each guest will learn about three different American whiskeys that host Harry picks by getting to know you with complimentary tastings that will educate and expand your palate, ending in a final parting shot.

Q: Is there an age limit for the Bourbon Basics experience?

A: Yes, participants must be 21 years or older to attend the Bourbon Basics experience since it involves alcohol tastings. Make sure whoever you're gifting this to has their ID ready! It's a fun way to learn about whiskey, so I think they’ll love it.

Q: How long does the experience usually last?

A: The Bourbon Basics experience typically lasts about 2 hours, but it can vary depending on group size and interaction with Harry. He’s super engaging, so it might feel a bit longer because everyone gets into the tastings! Plan for some extra time if you want to hang out after.

Q: What do we wear for this tasting? Is it casual or more upscale?

A: Casual attire is perfect for the Bourbon Basics experience! Just wear something comfortable – you’ll be sitting and tasting, so no need for anything too fancy. But if you wanna dress it up, it wouldn’t hurt! Just be yourself.

Just booked the Bourbon Basics Tasting! What should I expect?

I just got a gift voucher for the Bourbon Basics experience in NYC, and I’m super excited! I’ve heard a lot about Harry and his expertise, but I’m a total newbie when it comes to whiskey. What kind of bourbons do you think he’ll cover? And is the atmosphere pretty laid-back?

Just did Bourbon Basics, and it was amazing!

I went to the Bourbon Basics tasting last week in the West Village, and wow, what an experience! Harry made everything so approachable and fun. We tasted three different whiskeys, learned about the process, and got some snacks too. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get into bourbons without feeling overwhelmed!
