About the Company
The Old Fashioned Barrister was founded by Brandi Lowery, a Texas attorney whose appreciation for whiskey culture grew into something more. What began as a personal passion developed into curated tasting experiences that bring education, storytelling, and hospitality together in one setting.
Every tasting is intentionally designed and personally led, creating an experience that feels authentic and refined without ever becoming overly formal. Guests leave with a deeper understanding of whiskey and a new appreciation for the ritual surrounding it.
Based in Houston and serving clients across Texas, The Old Fashioned Barrister hosts events that celebrate craftsmanship, conversation, and the culture that surrounds a well-made drink.
Meet Brandi Lowery
Brandi Lowery brings both professional credibility and whiskey expertise to every event she hosts. As a Texas attorney, Executive Bourbon Steward, and whiskey educator with Whiskey University, she approaches tastings with preparation, knowledge, and confidence.
Her role as a Texas State Leader for Whiskey University reflects her commitment to sharing the history and craftsmanship behind whiskey. She is also the author of a cocktail book and the creator of her own ready-to-serve Old Fashioned.
This combination of experience allows her to guide tastings that are both informative and engaging for guests at any level of whiskey familiarity.
Private Whiskey Tastings
Private whiskey tastings are designed for hosts who want something distinctive for their gathering. These curated experiences work well for small celebrations, dinner parties, and social events where guests can slow down and enjoy the tasting together.
Each tasting introduces guests to carefully selected whiskeys while exploring flavor profiles, production methods, and the cultural history behind the spirit.
Corporate Whiskey Tastings
Corporate whiskey tastings offer companies a thoughtful way to host clients, celebrate milestones, or create a memorable team gathering. The guided format encourages conversation while maintaining a tone that works well for professional environments.
Organizations across Houston and throughout Texas book these tastings for client appreciation events, executive gatherings, networking receptions, and leadership retreats.
