Maker’s Mark Distillery. Arguably the best distillery we visited. This is what we expected when we visited Louisville and Kentucky - Americana at its best. They had Christmas decorations and lots of h
The most modern and Napa-like experience of a distillery - Bardstown Bourbon Company. Really nice distillery and tour. The bourbon was also really good, too. In one of the warehouses where they store the bourbon, called a Rickhouse, they have a cool showcase bar lounge. The owner and founder was in tech and had a company that merged with Earthink! . . . . . .
Castle & Key distillery. Really nice distillery at a picturesque location by a hill and stream. The Castle is the Old Taylor Distillery Company and the key is where the natural spring. The Key, is covered, and in the shape of a key. There's a cool sunken garden in the back. Unfortunately, we didn't go on a tour. Though I did purchase a bottle of their seasonal gin, that is only offered in Louisville. . . . . . . . .castleandkey
Woodford Reserve Bourbon Distillery. Picturesque off a hill. The famed copper kettle distillery. Amazing place. . . . . .
First Distillery tour - Buffalo Trace. Amazing distillery with one of the hottest tours in Louisville. Buffalo Trace, Wellers, Pappy’s, Fireball, Blantons, and other bourbons are made here. Got to see where they bottle single barrel bourbon. Luckily, we got a chance to purchase a Blantons. It was here, where I learned the most about bourbon distilling. I recommend trying to get a tour appointment here first, when coming to Louisville. Reserve early!! . . . . . . .
Went to the Louisville Slugger Museum. Amazing place of history and fascinating production of baseball bats. Saw Babe Ruth’s bat and a bunch of others. Unfortunately we missed our appointment, but luckily the nice ticket girls got us in a few days later. One of the highlights of this trip. Absolutely memorable and would fully recommend! . . . .
