LEXINGTON, KY (June 20, 2025) — A new era in whiskey experiences is rising in the heart of Lexington’s historic Distillery District. Dark Arts Whiskey House is thrilled to announce the public opening of its brand home on June 28, 2025, at 1170 Manchester Street. 

Rooted in the mystique of ancient alchemy and the art of transformation, Dark Arts invites guests to explore a whiskey experience where science, sorcery, and spirit-making converge in a truly immersive environment. 

“Our vision has always been to craft a whiskey experience that transcends the ordinary,” said Macaulay Minton, Chief Alchemist of Dark Arts Whiskey House. “We’ve blended the mysticism of alchemy with the precision of distillation to create not only exceptional spirits, but a destination where guests can explore the unknown.” 

This experiential destination is designed to awaken the senses, stir curiosity, and challenge perceptions of what whiskey can be. With interiors inspired by Gothic cathedrals, celestial maps, and the hidden chambers of medieval alchemists, the space offers an immersive encounter unlike anything else in Kentucky bourbon country. 

The opening weekend will feature guided tasting sessions, curated cocktails, and exclusive bottle releases. Signature offerings will include the annual Blunt Blend, Ripple Rye, and Sherry Garcia limited releases, as well as first access to our latest conjuring. 

Tours of the brand home are now available for booking, with reserved experiences beginning July 9th. Visitors can explore the process, philosophy, and finishes that make Dark Arts unique. Additional experiences and tour formats will be introduced in the coming months as the ritual continues to evolve. To reserve a spot, visit: https://www.darkartswhiskey.com/visit-us.
