Blue Note Crafts a Unique Bourbon Tasting Experience in Memphis
Blue Note Bourbon always had the vision of crafting the best bourbon and offering an unforgettable consumption experience. The kind that raises your spirits and drowns your anxiety. Recently, they have decided to take it up a notch – by entering the immersive tasting space. Yes, the renowned bourbon brand has transformed that vision into concrete reality by opening a tasting room in Memphis that offers not just bourbon, but also an incredible sensory experience.
Discover the Bourbon’s Soul at the New Tasting Room
Placed in Memphis — the heart of the American south, the Blue Note Bourbon tasting room is a treat for all your senses. The new tasting room aims to take you on a journey through the process of bourbon-making, all while leaving your taste buds dancing to the taste of their finest bourbon.
The Ambience
The tasting room is not just another bar, it’s more of an experience. The ambience is carefully curated to evoke the charm of old while still being refreshingly new. With its dim lighting, antique wooden furnishings and pictures of past eras adorning the walls, it elegantly captures the rich history of Memphis and bourbon-making. The rustic barrel tables, plush leather seating arrangements add to the heavy pour of Southern character in the place. It is indeed a pleasing sight for both your eyes and your Instagram followers.
What’s in the Menu
First and foremost, there’s bourbon of course. This isn’t just any bourbon, it’s Blue Note’s award-winning bourbon. They offer a wide selection of their most-loved products, ranging from the classic Blue Note Bourbon to their special release items. You can indulge in tasting flights to sample a variety, or, if you already have a favourite, go for a neat pour of that.
But let’s not forget about the non-bourbon drinkers. If you’re not much of a bourbon enthusiast yourself (or if you’re the designated driver for the night), you can explore their thoughtful selection of local beers, wines, and a crafted menu of non-alcoholic beverages.
More than just Bourbon
Along with exquisite bourbon, the tasting room also offers a concise yet enticing menu. Serving American classics and local favorites, the food accompanies the bourbon perfectly.
Experience the Magic of Bourbon-Making
The tasting room offers you a lot more than just the chance to taste their bourbon. Here, visitors get a peek behind the curtain at the extensive bourbon-making process.
Guided Tours
At Blue Note, they believe that understanding the bourbon-making process can bring more appreciation to the drink. Therefore, they have curated a guided tour of the distillery which is right next to the tasting room. A guide takes you through the whole process, from the selection of grains to the distillation, aging, and bottling process.
Memorabilia Shop
On these tours, you don’t just get the experience, you can also get a piece of it. The Blue Note Bourbon tasting room has a gift shop featuring merchandise like branded glasses, special edition bottles, and more. It’s a great opportunity to take a bit of this experience back to your home or maybe buy a memorable gift for other bourbon admirers in your life.
If you’re an aficionado of good bourbon and unique experiences, the Blue Note Bourbon tasting room in Memphis is a place worth checking out. It’s not just about tasting bourbon, it’s about celebrating the spirit of bourbon. Cheers to that!
