Additionally, I founded "1812 Branch Society" to celebrate the heritage, craftsmanship, and community that bourbon inspires. Our name honors both the year 1812—a pivotal moment in American history that shaped Kentucky bourbon’s rise and the War of 1812’s legacy on Lake Erie—and the Branch, the pure water that is essential to bourbon-making and central to our home on the shores of the Great Lake we love. What We Do:
1812 Branch Society creates memorable bourbon tasting experiences that blend history, hospitality, and education. We specialize in:
Bourbon Tasting Event Planning – designing customized gatherings that fit your audience and goals. Expert Event Hosting – guiding guests through tastings with industry knowledge, distillery stories, and hands-on sensory education. Our Approach:
We believe bourbon is a reflection of America’s spirit: resilient, rooted, and richly complex. Each tasting is a journey through mashbills, barrels, and traditions—bridging Kentucky’s storied distilleries with Lake Erie’s proud heritage. Guests leave with not only a refined palate but also a deeper connection to the culture, history, and people behind every bottle. Why Choose Us:
With 1812 Branch Society, bourbon becomes more than a pour—it becomes a story, an experience, and a celebration of heritage and community. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or a curious newcomer, our events inspire connection, conversation, and discovery.
