John and Shauna are running trivia night out of the Drunken Unicorn tasting room. Bourbon questions paired with the right pours, a small competitive crowd, and the kind of evening where the lessons land harder because nobody noticed they were being taught.

What is Drunken Unicorn Trivia Night?

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.

Trivia night is the curriculum hidden inside a quiz format — questions that teach mash bill, regional history, production decisions, and label reading without ever feeling like a class. The format is what bourbon education looks like when nobody’s writing anything down.
