Bringing Friends Together
Wednesday through Sunday, we invite all those 21 and over to visit our Meetinghouse, sample and purchase our whiskeys, explore the versatility of whiskey cocktails and small bites, and view the production floor from the overlook.
​
The Meetinghouse is modeled after an 18th Century Roadhouse with a high-beamed ceiling and the warmth of stone fireplaces and wooden tavern tables. Quite often, the first-time visitor steps into the comfort of a crowded gathering filled with laughter and the sound of clinking glassware. They will be welcomed to sit anywhere near a fireplace by a friendly team member rushing past with a tray of cocktails and a steaming lamb pie.
This is a memorable start to any celebration or team building event before moving on to the larger main event at another location. We do, however, offer other ways to gather with a more in-depth experience of our facility.

Limited to 7 people.
Requires a $200 non-refundable deposit that will ultimately be applied to total bottle purchases.
Your experience will begin with our distillers, Rob and Kevin Hough. They will take your group on a brief tour of our production floor to show you how whiskey is made at Liberty Pole Spirits, even tasting grain and new-make along the way to assist you in making a choice to your liking.
Next, you will tour the barrelhouse to see where the barrels selected for your sampling were aged. Don’t forget to pose for a photo.
You’ll retire to the comfort of the Founder’s Room where you can take your time sampling from the carefully selected, unique 4 barrels. Take notes and ask questions about each one.
When the perfect barrel is selected, your group will receive a platter of coffee-crusted steak bites and warm cheesy bread to celebrate. The memorable day will finish with the signing of the chosen barrel and more photos.
Single Barrel Pick
The cost of this experience is based on the number of bottles received from the barrel. All whiskey in the barrel will be released to your group bottled with appropriate labels and must be picked up at the distillery. Please allow 2-3 weeks after the selection for the bottles to be ready.
Barrels average 150 – 200 bottles. Bottle cost is $66 per
bottle. The barrel that your group chose and signed will be given to the group at the time of bottle pick-up.
Any special label that you may want on the bottle is designed, produced, and applied by your group.
