Nicollet Island Inn Announces 2025 Bourbon Buyout, March 20

A Special Whiskey-Lovers Tasting Event!

The Bourbon Buyout returns to the Nicollet Island Inn March 20 at 5pm. The Inn will be shut down for the night to welcome whiskey-lovers for a tasting event including an impressive collection of rare and allocated whiskeys and bourbons.
 
Guests will enjoy tasting pours from labels and vintages that aren’t available at any other Twin Cities venue, expertly paired with cuisine crafted to complement every delicious note and flavor accent.
 
Complimentary beer and wine will be available throughout the evening as well as run-of-the-bar selections to cleanse your palette between premium tastings. Throughout the evening there will be random drawings and giveaways of selected bottles and merchandise!
 
Worried about being in a room full of premium bourbon and then having to drive home? No problem - a limited number of guest rooms are available so you can celebrate with vigor until you fall into bed without ever having to leave the property. More details will be available in the confirmation email you will receive after tour purchase.
 
Tickets for this special are only available by advance-purchase and include:
 
• 12 1/2oz liquor pours, including 4 rare/allocated pours and 8 run-of-the-bar pours
• Chef’s buffet (unlimited); buffet service, dishes paired with whiskey selections
• Select beer and wine available through the evening (unlimited)
 
NOTE:  At checkout, a service charge (20%), SST fee (5%, to help cover sick and safe time for our staff) and applicable taxes and credit card processing fees will be applied.
