I am a frequent Hermann visitor. I get SO excited when new places open up and always look forward to visiting them. Two years ago my best friend (and frequent Hermann traveler as well) and I stopped into Lionheart for a visit….First off, the vibe and the aesthetic of the place is top notch. As someone who was never a whiskey fan ( thanks college days ), I was very hesitant to stop in. The guided tasting really helps you learn and appreciate the whole process. The campfire old fashioned…..OMG!! I dreeeaaammm about that thing. I also highly suggest doing a tour of the place as well. Clayton is a wealth of knowledge. I really enjoy chatting with him whenever I am in there. Seriously, next time you’re in Hermann, make this a must do. I can’t wait to be back this fall. Thanks, Clayton and the Lionheart team for always being the best.
