- **Event Description**: Bourbon Lab Experience on The Bourbon Belle Featuring Heather Wibbels, Award Winning Mixologist and The Ingram DistilleryAbout this EventMust be 21+Whiskey on the Water: Bourbon Lab on the Bourbon BoatClimb aboard the Bourbon Boat for a hands-on whiskey experiment during Bourbon on the Banks. After a dockside welcome cocktail (a Paper Plane riff), Master Blender Scott Beyer of The Ingram Distillery and bourbon educator Heather Wibbels (The Cocktail Contessa + founder of Bourbon Fluent) will guide you through an Uncharted and O.H. Ingram River Aged Bourbon tasting and a proofing lab: the same bourbon proofed down with four different waters—each with different pH, mineral content/hardness, and total dissolved solids. Taste what changes in aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and finish, and learn what “proofing” really means and why water is a power player in whiskey. You’ll never hear “it’s just water” the same way again. Hosted by Kentucky River Tours. Bourbon from The Ingram Distillery.What it isA bourbon class that behaves like a science experiment… on a boat. We’re answering one question with your own palate: why does water source and water chemistry matter so much in bourbon and whiskey?We’ll kick things off dockside with a welcome cocktail (a riff on the Paper Plane). Then we’ll board the Kentucky River Tours Bourbon Boat, get the story of The Ingram Distillery, and run a guided proofing lab that shows how the same bourbon can taste wildly different depending on the water used to proof it down and the exact proof chosen.You’ll never hear “it’s just water” the same way again.What you’ll do· Start with a dockside welcome cocktail (Paper Plane riff)· Board the Bourbon Boat and learn about bourbon and The Ingram Distillery's river roots· Taste and compare bourbon proofed down with at least four different waters· Track changes in aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and finish with guided sensory prompts· Enjoy a leisurely ride down the Kentucky River, surrounded by bourbon history at every turnWhat you’ll taste· The Bourbon Boat's O.H.
