On the outskirts of Louisville, Kentucky, Uncle Boojie’s Disillery Co. offers a private evening that reads like a compact festival of bourbon culture and southern hospitality. The Private Single Barrel Experience is a four-hour, 21+ event hosted by the Founder that combines cocktails, a family-style dinner, a guided tasting of up to five barrels, and a ceremonial barrel burn under the Kentucky sky. For up to 25 guests, the night feels intimate yet ceremonious: part tasting, part celebration, part theatrical ritual. Guests gather at the Homeplace where check-in requires a QR code and a wristband; the venue is ADA accessible and avoids stairs for ease of movement. The evening opens with specialty cocktails and high-end appetizers served at a long, convivial table, followed by a southern family-style dinner prepared by a private chef. An open bar keeps conversation flowing while the Founder walks the room, introducing barrels and the stories held in charred oak staves. The heart of the experience is barrel selection. Tasting up to five barrels side-by-side highlights seasonal differences—spring and fall often reveal the richest tempering of wood and spirit—and gives your party the chance to pick a single cask to bottle. That selection yields as many as 150 bottles at 105 proof with a custom back label; cask strength is available by request. Keepsake tasting glasses and premium cigars punctuate the tasting, lending the night a tangible souvenir to take home. Later, guests step outside for a dramatic barrel burn ceremony beneath Louisville’s big sky. Flames lick a seasoned barrel as smoke and heat reinforce the tactile memories of aging and fire intrinsic to bourbon making. It’s an evocative finale that ties the food, drink, and ritual together. Practical details are straightforward: final guest counts are due five days prior, no guests under 21 are permitted inside the bonded warehouse, and the Homeplace gift shop and bar remain open after the formal experience for anyone who wants to linger. Whether you’re sealing a reunion, celebrating a milestone, or simply chasing a distinct Kentucky evening, this Private Single Barrel Experience turns the mechanics of whiskey production into a social moment. Book with the provided referral link to reserve an evening where craftsmanship, heat, and hospitality meet in one carefully lit moment. Expect to pay for bottle selections—standard bottles start at $95 for custom-labeled 150-bottle yields at 105 proof, with cask-strength upgrades available by request. The event is ideal for groups marking weddings, corporate gatherings, or milestone birthdays; the private-chef dinner and open bar make logistics simple. If you plan to drive afterward, arrange a sober driver or book local transport in Louisville in advance. Ask about wheelchair access at booking if you have mobility needs and allergies.
