Great time to be up there

We flew into Louisville so got to catch an Orphan Barrel tasting at the old Stitzel-Weller facility in Shively…walking those grounds was special.

The next day brought a Mint Julep Tours bus trip to Wild Turkey, Woodford and Castle & Key (which is on the grounds of the Old Taylor distillery). I would recommend all of these spots.

Have a great trip…you pretty much can’t go wrong up there

One other tip. If you plan to buy bourbon there to bring home, prices are cheaper at the liquor store than at the distilleries. Some of them had distillery only releases - off hand, Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam, and I think Wild Turkey - but the core of their offerings were available at the liquor store connected to Kroger at much better pricing.

Also, there’s a place there that makes all the barrels for the distilleries and I think they give tours. I forget the name of the little town it’s in, but I want to say Lebanon. I thought that would be interesting but nobody in my group wanted to do it. We did drive by it one day.
