    Always a great experience at Bayou and Bottle. The service is top notch, and everyone is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Great whiskey selection and the food is outstanding.

    This master class was amazing. We got to taste a variety of ages and versions of the Dalmore brand while learning some of the history and methods used to brew the spirit. Met some fun people who were way more knowledgeable than I was about whiskey and different spirits in general. The food was actually an unexpected bonus. I was honestly blown away by how affordable this was in the end. Thank you to the team that did their best to make us feel welcome.

Your kind words about our team mean a great deal, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to have hosted you. We look forward to welcoming you back for future tastings and memorable experiences.
