Featured Tours

Tours at SPC events are a great opportunity for attendees to make new connections with fellow attendees in smaller groups, while visiting places related to packaging, sustainability, printing, innovation, recovery, composting, recycling, next markets or simply places that excel at what they are doing and will be interesting to see. The SPC arranges these experiences as part of the event experience for attendees and is thankful to tour hosts for opening their doors to our group. When booking a tour please bear in mind that tours are often at the same time of program sessions or other event tours, please also keep in mind the time of tours when making your travel plans.

    Fierce Whiskers Distillery Tour Presented by CarbonBetter

    Offsite Tour Location
    Fierce Whiskers is a grain-to-glass whiskey distillery producing soon-to-be-released bourbons, ryes, and single malts. Making world-class whiskey is not easy, and doing so sustainably adds another layer of complexity. Join Fierce Whiskers’ sustainability consultants, CarbonBetter, on a tour of their unique five-story bonded rickhouse specifically designed to harness the stubborn Texas climate and learn about energy efficiency measures taken across all operations at the distillery. After the tour, enjoy a cocktail while CarbonBetter and Fierce Whiskers conduct a short Q&A session about sustainability choices the distillery has made, trade-offs and considerations when making a water-intensive product, and what they learned bringing their limited-release carbon-negative bourbon, called Five O’Clock Shadow, to market.
