Four of us were in NOLA for a long weekend of football, food, and shenanigans, so what better way to start the day than with a distillery tour? We had the first tour of the day at high noon. Our tour was private as we were the only ones in the establishment.
Seven Three is only a 20-minute walk or so from the Canal/Bourbon St area. There is a cool older cemetery across that street that I wanted to check out, but it was locked up.
We did have a heart breakfast at Ruby's, so we were ready for our tour and tastings. They do not serve food here, so load up before your tour.
Renee was our guide, and he provided an excellent introduction and tour of their production area. Seven Three is a small-batch distiller and was founded in 2016. The name Seven Three pays homage to the 73 unique districts in NOLA.
Renee guided us through their entire offerings, and by the end, I believe we all were feeling AOK! Our favorites were their rye, rum, and their version of an Irish whiskey. They do ship to Texas, and we will be placing an order soon.
They have a bar area with TVs, and you can order mixed cocktails here. We had our last tastings at the bar.
They is a large gift shop with some very interesting merchandise and some really cool photos.
Pro tips: Schedule your Seven Three tour in advance as they have large tour groups stopping by.
Schedule a (free) tour of the Sazarac House. You do receive excellent tastings, and if you are an Eagle Rare and/or Colonel Taylor fan, load up!
