Your Monthly Libation Station

Hand Picked Private Select Whiskey

When Ravyn Gabardi of Northstar Liquor in Johnstown begins to tell us about his unforgettable experience at the Maker's Mark distillery, we couldn't help but envision ourselves on this amazing whiskey adventure. The story begins with a trip to Loretto, Kentucky for an in-depth tour and insider’s look into the Maker’s distillery. Here Ravyn learned about the history of the distillery, the distillation process, and gained a deeper understanding of just how artful the craft of distilling really is.

Ravyn utilized multiple senses to then craft a one-of-a-kid barrel of Northstar Private Select Maker's Mark through the Private Select program. Each bottle has been signed by the three members of Northstar who traveled to Loretto. These bottles are available for purchase while supplies last so swing by, grab your bottle, and hear Ravyn's story firsthand! 

The Maker's Mark whisky tour in Loretto is an exciting opportunity to take a guided look behind the scenes of one of the regions first whisky distilleries. They will guide you through the whisky making process from start to finish including details on raw materials, still house processes, distillery equipment, and cask selection that contribute to the unique taste of the Maker's Mark whiskey. On your way around you’ll get the opportunity to taste various samples from the whisky-making process, including a new make spirit and ageing spirit samples (straight from the cask)! The tour will be followed by a tasting in the Bourbon Limestone Cellar with a more in-depth discussion around all things whisky.
