John and Shauna are hosting Operation Bottle Kill out of the Leavenworth tasting room. Open bottles, a working crowd, and the next morning’s count comes in lower than anyone expects. The night’s a curriculum disguised as a party.

What is Operation Bottle Kill?

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.

Operation Bottle Kill is the room-cleanout class — open bottles meet a willing crowd, food, and mixers. Built on the principle that an open bottle is a depreciating asset and the right move is to drink it well with friends. The Drunken Unicorn community at its most natural.
