John and Shauna are teaching the Drunken Unicorn Whiskey Club out of the Leavenworth tasting room. Five or six bottles around the table, a curated lineup walking in order with the production decisions explained as the bottles change, and a surprise pour to close. Built for drinkers ready to move past ‘I like it’ and into ‘here’s what I’m tasting and why.’

What is the Drunken Unicorn Whiskey Club?

Drunken Unicorn is John and Shauna’s bourbon education company, run out of the tasting room in Leavenworth, Kansas. The classes serve two audiences: beginners getting their first real introduction to American whiskey, and intermediate drinkers ready to advance their palate from preference into vocabulary.

The Whiskey Club is the recurring evening class — small groups, a curated lineup walked in order, and a surprise pour to close. The format is the one returning students keep coming back to: bourbon-curious adults, real conversation, and a tasting room that treats the bottle as the reason to gather.
