The Crucial Etiquette Your First Bourbon Distillery Tour Deserves
BY Marina S.
While there are quite a few etiquette rules associated with bourbon distillery tours, there is one that first-time visitors should never forget: Pace yourself.
Angel's Envy distillery operations manager Damian Gallaher pointed out that a bourbon tour is unlike wine tasting because "distilled spirits have a higher proof."
He continued, "Many wines are roughly 25 proof. The whiskeys you will be tasting will be anywhere from 80 proof to over 120 proof."
