While the dress code is more suggestion than legislation, comfort meets style is the mantra for the modern bourbon buff. Think of it as the bourbon equivalent of smart casual: presentable yet practical.
For the gentlemen, a crisp button-up paired with dark jeans strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and looking sharp. Ladies can charm the barrels off the rickhouse with a chic blouse and comfortable slacks or a breezy dress. And for the love of good whiskey, leave the stilettos and the scent-heavy colognes for the nightclub; you're here to nose the bourbon, not overpower it.

Hold the glass by the stem or base to avoid warming the bourbon with your hand. This helps maintain the true flavor of the bourbon.
Consider the recipient's taste and experience with bourbon. For beginners, a well-balanced bourbon is ideal. For enthusiasts, a unique single barrel or small batch bourbon might be perfect.
Proper tasting glasses, a bourbon tasting journal, and whiskey stones to chill the bourbon without diluting it can all enhance the experience.
Start by observing the color, then swirl the glass to release aromas. Take a small sip, let it coat your mouth, and then note the flavors. Finally, enjoy the finish.
Dress comfortably but neatly. Opt for closed-toe shoes and layers, as distilleries can be cool. Avoid strong perfumes or colognes that could interfere with the tasting experience.
A connoisseur's collection should include a variety of bourbons, such as a well-aged single barrel, a unique small batch, and a bold cask strength bourbon.
