Pursuit Spirits Launches Two New Immersive Whiskey Experiences in Louisville

Posted on by Scott Dilley

The one-of-a-kind tours were crafted by whiskey enthusiasts to provide a level of distillery access that doesn’t exist anywhere else.

Pursuit Spirits, the innovative whiskey company behind the popular Pursuit United line of bourbons and ryes, just announced the launch of two new behind-the-scenes distillery experiences for whiskey enthusiasts. Both experiences take place at the Pursuit Spirits Distillery located in Louisville’s Clifton neighborhood at 1700 Mellwood Avenue. The Founders, Kenny Coleman and Ryan Cecil, intentionally crafted these tours after many years of experience as bourbon podcasters and whiskey enthusiasts. They aim to provide exclusive access that is unlike anything else in the distillery world. Full details on the two new experiences, including how to book them can be found in the excerpted press release below.

The Whole Shebang: Tasting + Barrel Pick + Fill Your Own Bottle

The first experience, “The Whole Shebang: Tasting + Barrel Pick + Fill Your Own Bottle” is a 90-minute VIP adventure for $139.99. Guests will taste a variety of Pursuit’s award-winning whiskeys, learn all about mashbills, blending, and maturation from our expert guides, partake in their own private barrel selection, and then fill a personalized bottle to take home. This is a rare chance to check off a bucket list item by taking part in the barrel picking process that is typically reserved for only the whiskey elite. Instead of pulling a lever and watching your bottle fill from a tube, guests will fill their own private select whiskey using a whiskey thief straight from the barrel.

Pursuit United Breakdown: Tasting Experience

The second experience, “Pursuit United Breakdown” is a 45-minute deep dive into Pursuit’s limited small-batch bourbon for $35. Guests will taste the individual distillates that make up Pursuit United at cask strength, learning the unique profiles and stories behind each component. The experience culminates in sampling the iconic Pursuit United Bourbon and Toasted Oak Collection Bourbon to realize how the sum is greater than the parts.

We’ve been privy to everything the large distilleries had to offer so we decided to give whiskey lovers something they can’t do anywhere else. These inside looks are what makes Pursuit Spirits so special. These immersive experiences take guests beyond the traditional 51% corn tour and focus on how barrel maturation and blending are the real stars of the show.

The Distillery is located in the Clifton neighborhood, just minutes from downtown Louisville, at 1700 Mellwood Ave. Visits and experiences are available by reservation only.
