re: Bachelor weekend on the bourbon trail booked!

Went last year. Really enjoyed Lilly’s Bistro for a nice dinner. Lilly’s has good/decent prices for BTAC and VW, if you’re into that stuff; and they have a “VW Flight” (10yr, 12yr, baby Saz, and 20yr) for $60ish. I want to say Birthday Bourbon was like $12.

Silver Dollar is an awesome spot and has an awesome selection. They had some great OWA picks when I went.

Holy Grale was a cool bar too. They had a lot of rare beers and what not.

As far as tours go, BT was my “favorite” locale, but probably just because it’s BT. 4R was under construction and kinda sucked at the time. It was literally just a tasting.

I have to say though, Woodford’s tour was Top-notch! The facility is gorgeous, and the tour and tasting are great. I highly recommend WR’s tour.

Silver Dollar Bar in Louisville. LINK One of GQ's top 10 Bourbon bars in the country.

Would also highly recommend Jeff Ruby's steakhouse if y'all are in the mood for an amazing meal. The Jewel is one of the best steaks I've had in my life.

We might hit one distillery for the tour, then we are hitting others for the tasting and gift shop and moving on. Looking at BT, 4Rose, Willett and Three Boys Farm.

I don't think you can do the tastings at any of them without doing the tour.

At several of them the tasting room wasn't even accessible without a tour guide. Buffalo Trace is the only one that had their tasting room accessible to people not on a tour, and even then you couldn't just walk up and do a tasting because they were done at the conclusion of the tour by the tour guide.
