Sipping in the South was born from a bold idea: bourbon deserves more than a bus ride, a stamp in a book, and a cookie-cutter, self-guided checklist. That’s where we come in. We’re the local experts who take the trail less traveled and aren't afraid to tell the real stories. This tour dives deep into the legendary Pappy Heist, led by none other than the mastermind himself. Its bold, unfiltered and straight from the source - a once in a lifetime experience you won't find in any tasting room brochure! The mastermind will be your guide for the day and every tour begins with our Bourbon 101 Social — an interactive, hands-on introduction to nosing and sipping that gives you the tools to truly enjoy what you’re tasting. Because when you understand bourbon, everything else gets better. We show you how they rolled it right out the distillery and the other juicy gossip. And yes — we even save 30 minutes for rare finds at local liquor stores.
