About this tour

Step onto an active distillery floor in New Orleans for an expert-led introduction to American whiskey. Guided by a Certified Bourbon Steward, this 75-minute experience brings the craft of bourbon into focus, from traditional handmade copper pot stills to the flavors shaped by mash bills and oak barrels.

See how pot still distillation differs from commercial column distillation, then sample raw white dog distillate fresh from the still. The tasting continues with a curated flight of three Old Alker bourbons: a 7 Year Single Barrel Straight Bourbon, Small Batch Reserve Bourbon, and 7 Year Cask Strength Straight Bourbon. Along the way, explore barrel chemistry and learn to recognize the character of each pour.

This New Orleans Bourbon Tasting pairs behind-the-scenes distillery insight with a focused flight of distinctive spirits. Arrive 15 minutes early, bring valid ID, and settle in for a closer look at how bourbon gets its depth and personality.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
