The Mad Scientist Experience

Step into the lab for The Mad Scientist Experience at 100 Proof by Detroit City Distillery! This is our classic B.Y.O.B. (Blend Your Own Bourbon) Experience mutated with a sinister twist to kick off Halloween weekend. This is a one-of-a kind bourbon experience that puts you in the drivers seat as the lead blender of your very own Detroit made bourbon.

This starts with a brief history of bourbon and Detroit City Distillery’s place in the storied history of this uniquely American spirit. That is then followed by a step by step walk through of the distilling process from raw grains straight from the farm all the way to the moment the white dog meets the barrel.

This is the moment you take full control! Your lead Scientist, Michael Babcock, will walk you through the tasting process where you will learn how to identify notes within your whiskey as well as the proper way to taste through barrels. Once you are confident, it’s time to blend.

We have four unique barrels ready to be blended based on your tastes and desires. Take your place among the barrels as you craft your own recipe and learn to run the blending equipment to create your very own bottle. Your personal blend is sure to be the center piece of your next gathering as your whiskey connoisseur friends are guaranteed to have never had this bottle before!

We are excited to host you in our lab, and have a very thrilling Friday night!
