LEXINGTON, KY (June 29, 2025) This past week marked a monumental chapter in the story of Dark Arts Whiskey House, as we officially unveiled our brand home with a private ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 26, followed by an intimate grand opening celebration on June 27. 

The ribbon cutting welcomed media and close supporters into the space where spirit-making, storytelling, and transformation converge. Guests were treated to welcome cocktails from our new menu, a celebratory specialty pour, and light fare thoughtfully crafted by DV8 Kitchen. We partnered with DV8 not by chance, but by design. Their mission to offer second chances to those brave enough to rewrite their story aligns with our belief in transformations. 

Friday’s grand opening continued the magic with a curated experience for our closest allies. Guests enjoyed pairings of our Core 4 pours alongside bites from DaRae & Friends Catering, who feed people the way we make whiskey–with care, purpose, and a deep respect for tradition. Casually Ascending offered tarot readings throughout the night, adding a touch of mystery to the experience. The night was not just a toast to our opening, but to every hand and heart that helped bring it to life. 

From our dedicated team to our local caterers and to the community of curious minds who continue to support us, we extend our deepest gratitude. This would not have been possible without your energy, trust, and belief in what we are building. 

We’re proud to now fully open our doors to the public, and even more excited to announce that our guided tour experiences will begin on July 9th. These immersive explorations into the spirit world of Dark Arts can be booked now at www.darkartswhiskey.com/visit-us. 

The House is alive. Come see what waits in the shadows.
