Insolito Tequila Tasting
The Herrera Brothers built their distillery high in the Sierra del Tigre mountains of Jalisco, Mexico, where the hot days and cool nights allow for a unique aging process. INSÓLITO arrives from a slow fermentation process enhanced by the altitude, weather and natural spring water. It is twice distilled—in stainless stills instead of copper, preserving the authentic 80% highland x 20% lowland Blue Weber agave, to provide a smooth, clean finish. Finally, each tequila is aged in new American Oak Barrels.
Blanco - Meant to be sipped and savored, INSÓLITO Blanco showcases the skill and expertise of the Herrera Brothers. The flavor of pure blue agave freshly distilled features herbal and buttery notes with a smooth, balanced finish.
Reposado - Aged no more than 10 months in new American Oak Barrels, our Reposado preserves the sweeter notes of its Blanco cousin while the slight aging brings forth almond and vanilla notes. INSÓLITO Reposado adds the extraordinary to your tequila cocktails.
Anejo - Aged between 18 and 24 months in new American Oak Barrels, INSÓLITO Añejo is a silky, well-structured tequila. Highly aromatic with notes of chocolate, nuts and dried fruits, this is a tequila meant to be sipped and savored.

Captain Morgan
Captain Morgan, owned by Diageo, is one of the world’s biggest rum brands. Captain Morgan offers a choice of different drinks, each with its own distinctive flavour and personality. Smooth and medium bodied, Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold is based on a secret blend of premium Caribbean rums, mellow spice and other natural flavours. It gets its distinct richness and amber colour from ageing the rum in charred white oak barrels.
Sazarac Tasting
Experience a tasting of various Sazarac products including Wheatley’s Vodka, Paddy’s Irish Whiskey, Grind Espresso Spirit. Sorry, no Buffalo Trace or Blanton’s tasting.
Made with the same red winter wheat and limestone water that the Distillery uses in its award-winning bourbons, Wheatley Vodka is crafted in small batches and distilled ten times over. The result, according to Harlen Wheatley himself, is “how vodka is supposed to taste.”
An approachable Irish whiskey comprised of a triple-distilled blend of grain, malt and pot-still, Paddy’s Irish Whiskey is mild and yet crisp, with a hint of honey. The grain brings a light, floral sweetness. The malt adds a note of toasty biscuit. Whilst the pot-still brings the traditional Irish creaminess. Triple-distilled from the finest barley and water from County Cork’s Irish countryside, Paddy’s matures for years in three types of oaken casks, acquiring its distinctively rich and golden color in dark, aromatic warehouses before being shipped directly from Ireland.
At Grind, we love espresso and we certainly love a good cocktail, so why not an espresso spirit? We gathered our barista and bartender friends together to taste different coffee blends and spirits until we found a liquid we love: medium-roasted Colombian Arabica beans carefully blended with smooth Caribbean Rum, for a finely balanced espresso spirit that can be mixed with almost anything.
Twelve 33 Distillery (Little River, SC) Tasting

Lalo Tequila & Hilton Head Distillery
To say that tequila-making runs in the family is an understatement. LALO is named in honor of Eduardo "Lalo" González, the son of “Don Julio” González and the father of our co-founder and maestro tequilero, who is also named Lalo. Lalo continues as the third generation of his tequilero family with a bold new approach to perfecting blanco tequila. Each bottle of LALO is 100% pure. We distill only twice to maintain the integrity of our agave, and add no flavors or additives. With LALO, our clean three ingredients are agave, yeast and water to honor the complex essence of agave.
Hilton Head Distillery is Hilton Head Island's first and only distillery. We use a unique marriage of West Indies rum and Carolina whiskey distilling traditions to create our premium spirits. Our approach is simple: A great drinking experience should be shared with great people. Everything under the sun: from rums to bourbon to cream liqueurs, we’ve got your flavor covered!
Mijenta Tequila

For us, no detail is too small.

Chicken Cock Whiskey Tasting (Copy)
When Chicken Cock Whiskey Founder James A. Miller started making whiskey in Bourbon Co., Kentucky in the 1830s, bourbon wasn't even bourbon yet. Seeing the increasing value of his liquid creation, Miller formally established Chicken Cock Whiskey (thought to be named after the rooster feathers he used to stir his drinks with) in 1856. Chicken Cock hit peak prestige when it was served as the house whiskey at the Cotton Club in Harlem, one of Prohibition's most legendary speakeasies. In 2012, Matti Anttila rediscovered the brand and set out to resurrect it to its Prohibition-era glory. Today, Chicken Cock Whiskey's Master Distiller Gregg Snyder oversees all parts of the whiskey-making process from bark to barrel, bourbon to bottle, and the whiskey is distilled at Bardstown Bourbon Company's Collaborative Distilling Program facility. The brand currently has two flagship products, Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Kentucky Straight Rye, as well as a number of creative limited-edition releases, like the recently launched Double Oak Whiskey and Chanticleer.
Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Grain & Barrel Spirits is an innovative-driven global spirits portfolio that develops and scales authentic brands - connecting the best artisans with markets and consumers around the world.

Casamigos Tequila Tasting
Longtime friends George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman love Casamigos. On the rocks, by the shot, at times, straight from the bottle. Tequila-filled nights with friends is how Casamigos was born. Our idea was to make the best-tasting, smoothest Tequila and Mezcal that didn’t have to be covered up with salt or lime.
So we did.
Casamigos was made just for us. We worked on the creation of Casamigos in Jalisco, Mexico for years, and held many blind tastings until we knew we got it right. We’ve been drinking our tequila and mezcal with friends and family for many years now. It was never intended to be released to the public. It’s all we serve at our homes in Mexico, so it’s literally our house tequila.
