Most cocktail classes stop at recipes. Tennessee Whiskey Workshop digs deeper. This is storytelling stitched into hospitality, where Tennessee Whiskey isn’t just poured—it’s unpacked, demystified, and celebrated. You’ll use professional bar tools to create three original Old Fashioned variations, but what sets this apart is the atmosphere: no scripts, no ego, just a host who’s lived and breathed Nashville’s bar culture for 25+ years. Set in the private Tank Room at Love & Exile, the workshop is intimate, welcoming, and rooted in Southern hospitality. Guests walk away not just with new skills, but with the kind of confidence, perspective, and insider connection that makes Nashville feel like more than a stop on the map. This is cocktail education with character—part storytelling, part hands-on craft, part Eastside magic.
Learn Cocktail Design from Nashville's Bartender Guild President lasts about 1h 30min.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Chris. We learned so much on the art of cocktail making that we can take home and practically use. He was so informative and very personable, and great to hang out with. We had such an amazing time and highly recommend.
We had a great time!! Learned A LOT, not just about cocktail making in general. We had 3 full drinks that were all very different and amazing! Highly recommend this class to any whisky lover!
So much fun and learned so much! Chris was great !! He walked us through three cocktails and all Delicious !
Chris was an excellent host. His knowledge of the cocktail industry was amazing. He educated us on the ART of making the best Old Fashion along with how to make a few changes that bring out new flavors. We went with our college son and friends and everyone had a great time.
Very fun and interesting workshop!! Worth the cost. The old fashions were phenomenal. Coordinators knowledge was outstanding.
David, thank you for taking the time to share this. I’m glad you enjoyed the Old Fashioneds and the storytelling behind them. It means a lot that the experience felt worth the investment. Hope to see you back in Nashville again soon.
In depth class about what makes an old fashioned and how you can make small adjustments to have a significant effect on the end flavor. Chris gave us ideas on ways we could modify the recipe at home. I’ve tried to make a good old fashioned at home many times, but never had as good of results just because rations were likely a little off. We learned a ton about making cocktails in general also, not just the old fashioned. Chris was also extremely knowledgeable about the history of the drink. He has a background as a chef and brought in concepts about how bitters, citrus, oils, sugars and salts all have a profound effect on how the drink ends up tasting.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review. That exact moment when the ratios finally click is what the class is built around. Small adjustments change everything. I’m glad the broader cocktail fundamentals landed too, not just the Old Fashioned itself. Appreciate you trusting the process and putting it to work at home.
Excellent tour. Highly recommend. Great tour guide with excellent knowledge and skill. We learned so much.
Thank you, Jeffrey. I’m glad you found it both informative and approachable. That balance is always the goal. Really appreciate the recommendation.
Fun experience! Would highly recommend. Chris was great and very knowledgeable. If you are a whiskey lover, you must try!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it and that the whiskey side came through clearly. Always happy to hear it connected with fellow whiskey lovers.
Excellent history and great foundation for cocktail creation and interesting tips to make exceptional drinks.
Thanks so much, Robin. I’m glad you enjoyed the history and the build-out behind the drink - that foundation is what unlocks all the fun variations. Really appreciate you spending part of your Nashville trip with us.
Chris was really fun and gave us a lot of good information. We learned some great tips for making our Old Fashions extra special!
Jane, this made my day. I’m thrilled those tips helped elevate your Old Fashioneds - that’s the whole goal. You two brought great energy to the room. Thanks for joining us!
