Guided Whisk(e)y Sessions


What is a Guided Whisk(e)y Session?(Currently Only in Colorado)   

Guided Whiskey Sessions are designed with a trained & certified Whiskey Treorai ("guide" in Irish Gaelig) to educate folks in a fun and entertaining way about "uisce beatha", literally "water of life" translated to Gaelic by the Irish Monks from the Latin aqua vitae, or Whisk(e)y as we've come to know it today.


Sessions can be individualized to suit many different situations including for a Pub or Bar to help expand their whiskey business by creating a more informed patronage or for groups to provide a fun and unique capstone or supplement to an event.


Our Guided Whiskey Sessions can be booked for private groups throughout the year and customized in consultation with your guide. Each guided session can vary in length and cost from an hour to three hours depending on the group size and the type of session.

For Private Groups:
