All good things must come to an end, and our beautiful tasting hall is no exception. Although the time has come to bid her adieu and fill her with aging barrels, she's going out with a bang. Join us for a day of all things BENDT - cocktails, food, live music, great company, stories from the past decade and one "Last Call at the Tasting Hall". Enjoy stories and toasts from some of your favorites at BENDT - Ryan, Natasha, Jacob, Mark and others. And stay tuned for a special release like no other.
No tickets necessary, so call your friends and mark your calendars. Last Call at the Tasting Hall will be one to remember. Cheers to a decade of the amazing memories behind us, and to what the future brings!

Exclusive Experience
Experience whiskey like a distiller. Take a journey through the whiskey-making process, learning the ins and outs of grain handling, fermentation, distillation and finally, barrel maturation.
Savor each sip of craft whiskey and other small batch spirit samples, all made grain-to-glass in-house, then complete your experience by hand-filling your very own cask strength bottle, directly from the barrel (optional). Customized by you, our SFTB cask strength single barrels are intended to be sipped and savored.
Please note that SFTB bottle filling is available on a first-come, first-served basis with no tour or reservation required. However, priority access will be granted to those with a pre-booked tour and SFTB reservation.
