Tour. Taste. Bottle. Make It Yours.

Step inside First Cut Barrel Co. for a one-of-a-kind, hands-on whiskey experience where you'll go beyond simply tasting great whiskey and become part of the bottling process.

Your experience begins with a guided tour of our Stamford facility, where you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how whiskey is made, aged, and bottled. Learn about the whiskey-making process, from grain selection and distillation to barrel aging, and discover how different grains, barrels, and aging techniques influence the flavors in your glass.

Next, you'll taste whiskey directly from two privately selected barrels, handpicked by the First Cut team for their unique characteristics and exceptional quality. Explore the differences between bourbon and rye, learn what makes each barrel special, and discover the flavors and aromas that make each whiskey unique.

Once you've chosen your favorite, it's time to create your own bottle! You'll select your preferred proof, whether that's full barrel strength or something a little smoother, and personally fill your own 750 mL bottle straight from the barrel.

But the experience doesn't stop there. You'll finish your bottle by hand, sealing it with wax, personalizing your label, and adding your signature to create a truly unique keepsake.

At the end of your visit, you'll leave with more than just a great bottle of whiskey. You'll take home a personalized bottle that you filled, finished, and signed yourself, a lasting reminder of your experience at
