Tasting Room Associate

Are you passionate about craft spirits, rich stories, and exceptional hospitality? J. Henry & Sons is looking for an enthusiastic, welcoming Tasting Room Associate to join our team!

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love connecting with people, and want

to elevate your bourbon expertise, we’d love to meet you.

The Role: What You’ll Do

In this role, you’ll be the face of our brand—guiding guests through our premium bourbon lineup, crafting delicious cocktails, and sharing the unique story behind every bottle.

  • Bourbon Education & Guest Hospitality: Host engaging tastings, educate guests on our history and process, and answer questions to deliver a memorable visit.

  • Bar & Retail Operations: Mix craft cocktails, process bottle and merchandise sales, and handle cash/POS transactions while strictly adhering to all alcohol sales laws and regulations.

  • Events & Special Releases: Assist with on-site events, new product releases, and group bookings to create a lively, well-run experience.

  • Distillery Care & Operations: Execute opening and closing procedures, restock inventory, track supply levels, and maintain a clean, organized, and inviting space.

  • Teamwork: Work seamlessly with fellow team members to ensure smooth daily operations, even during high-volume peak hours.

What We Are Looking For

  • Age Requirement: Must be 21 years of age or older.

  • Experience: Background in customer service, retail, bartending, or tasting room operations is helpful (but a great attitude and willingness to learn go a long way!).

  • Bourbon & Cocktail Skills: Enthusiasm for craft spirits, basic cocktail-making ability, and a drive to continually expand your knowledge.

  • Work Ethic & Professionalism: Punctual, organized, detail-oriented, and able to work independently with minimal supervision.

  • Composure: Cool, calm, and friendly under pressure or during busy weekend rushes.

  • Physical Requirements: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs regularly and remain on your feet during shifts.

Why You’ll Love Working For Us

  • Competitive Pay: Hourly wage plus tips.

  • Employee Discount: Discounts on J. Henry products and merchandise.

  • Flexible Scheduling: Work-life balance tailored around our tasting room and event calendar.

  • Growth: Hands-on experience and ongoing education in the craft spirits industry.
