About this Experience
What you'll do:
You'll step into Nashville Barrel Co.'s tasting room for a guided whiskey tasting experience that moves well beyond the standard pour — from rare single-barrel samples to a hands-on session where you craft and bottle your own blend.
Premium Whiskey Tasting – Sample limited and rare expressions — bourbon, rye, and experimental spirits — guided by a whiskey expert who walks you through what's in your glass and why it matters.
Straight from the Barrel – Taste four single-barrel whiskeys pulled directly from the source, then choose your favorite and walk out with a personalized bottle to take home.
Blend Your Own Whiskey – Pull from multiple barrels to mix your own custom blend, then bottle and label it on the spot — your recipe, your name on the bottle.
Whiskey or Wine with Chocolate Pairing – Work through a guided tasting that pairs carefully selected chocolates with bourbon, rye, agave spirits, or wine, one at a time.
Private Event Options – Reserve one of three distinct venue spaces for your group — from intimate gatherings of 10 to full buyouts for up to 150 guests.
Whether you're a seasoned bourbon drinker or just getting started, Nashville Barrel Co. gives you the kind of access and guidance that turns a tasting into something you actually remember talking about.
Why we love it for your group:
Three Distinct Venue Spaces – Groups from 10 to 150 can be accommodated, making this a strong fit for bachelorette parties, corporate events, birthday celebrations, and team-building days.
Take-Home Bottle – The Straight from the Barrel and Blend Your Own experiences both include a personalized bottle — a built-in keepsake that makes the outing feel complete.
Custom-Labeled Bottles – Add your group name, event date, or a personal message to the bottle label for a detail that elevates the experience from activity to occasion.
Two Miles from Downtown Nashville – Located just outside the city center with easy proximity to the Ryman Auditorium and Bridgestone Arena — easy to work into a full day or night out.
Free Parking and On-Site Bar – The facility includes free parking and a full bar, so your group doesn't have to coordinate transportation or hunt for a spot to keep the evening going.
