Deliver your clients something new and unexpected

Distilled Leadership provides entertaining and engaging private bourbon tasting events throughout the Philadelphia area. Our sessions are informative, yes – but the emphasis is definitely on fun. Bourbon Historian Michael Kutner brings bourbon’s long and sordid history to life in an unforgettable social event.

Tasting Bourbon

The bourbon industry, born in Kentucky’s backwoods, should have folded at least seven times in the past 150 years. In a testament to the American spirit, the bourbon industry beat the odds and is now in its biggest boom ever. Michael is a natural storyteller who weaves together spellbinding tales that will pique everyone’s interest, whether they cared about bourbon before or not.

Oh, and you will all learn proper bourbon tasting techniques along the way, too.

Distilled Leadership’s private bourbon tasting events are flexible and can be tailored to any occasion:

  • Corporate events, both for business and for pleasure

  • Client appreciation

  • Employee appreciation

  • Team building and team bonding

  • Integrate into a larger event such as a conference or wedding

  • Virtual bourbon tastings also available

Michael can incorporate special non-alcoholic drinks for those who do not want to drink, but still want to join in all the fun!

Distilled Leadership can come to you or let us find the perfect location in the Philadelphia area for your bourbon tasting event.
