Exclusive Experience
Experience whiskey like a distiller. Take a journey through the whiskey-making process, learning the ins and outs of grain handling, fermentation, distillation and finally, barrel maturation.
Savor each sip of craft whiskey and other small batch spirit samples, all made grain-to-glass in-house, then complete your experience by hand-filling your very own cask strength bottle, directly from the barrel (optional). Customized by you, our SFTB cask strength single barrels are intended to be sipped and savored.
Please note that SFTB bottle filling is available on a first-come, first-served basis with no tour or reservation required. However, priority access will be granted to those with a pre-booked tour and SFTB reservation.

Tour BENDT Distilling Co.
-
BENDT offers guided tours to the public on Saturday afternoons. Distillery tours are hosted by our in-house whiskey experts and include information on BENDT, whiskey history, the whiskey making process, and the impact of barrel aging. Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and includes a spirit tasting.
-
BENDT Tours offer a behind-the-scenes view into a fully operational whiskey distilled spirits plant (DSP). Please be sure to bring your valid government issued ID and dress for the elements. We operate in an industrial environment and outside of the check-in area, our facility is not climate controlled. Please use the restroom prior to your arrival, as our restrooms are quite a distance from our check-in area and require a team member escort.
Distillery tours have been paused for renovations, but are expected to resume August 2025. -
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, retirement, or planning a team outing, we’re here to help! Be sure to send us potential dates, expected guest count and any other details that could help us point you in the right direction.
