Custom Bourbon Blending Experience @ Willow Run Downtown Cincy

You're not just a guest, you're the blender. Your host walks you through the rich history of Cincinnati's bourbon roots, dating back to our founding in 1865, before guiding you through a tasting of six distinct wood-finished bourbons — cherry wood, maple, smoked oak, and more. Along the way, you'll learn exactly how each finishing wood transforms flavor, aroma, and character. Then comes the best part. With your host by your side, you'll blend your own signature recipe — dialing in the perfect balance that matches your palate.

Returning Bourbon and Cincinnati to its Roots Step into Cincinnati's bourbon history at Willow Run, founded in 1865 by craftsman and Underground Railroad conductor William J. McRoberts Jr. In 1800s-inspired downtown distillery, you won't just taste bourbon, you'll create it. Taste six wood-finished bourbons, cherry wood, maple, smoked oak, and more — guided by a Willow Run facilitator who walks you through how each finishing wood shapes flavor. Then, blend your own perfect recipe, one uniquely matched to your palate. Optionally, you can purchase and walk away with a custom-labeled bottle made right before your eyes, in minutes. Perfect for date nights, birthdays, corporate groups, or a night out unlike any other. Friends and Family who want to join others doing the full bourbon blending can choose to swap to a wine flight or 2 cocktail tickets (price is the same- so please purchase the same ticket and let us know when you arrive if anyone in your party wants to switch to one of these other options. They will be able to join the presentation).
