The tour guide, Corrie, made this trip! She was informative, funny, and enthusiastic! Generous pours of whiskey, while learning about what’s a whiskey, bourbon, rye, etc. Very cool and creative tie-ins to pittsburghs role in whiskey history

Very nice way to spend the afternoon. Aaron was very funny and knowledgeable, the tour is very heavy on history but he keeps it interesting and engaging. The speakeasy was a hidden gem. We enjoyed the tour!
