Nice pickup while stopping at the store for some potatoes
There’s a certain chain here in south Florida that still has a decent amount of the back age stated. I’m that guy turning every one around

My buddies and I spent a long weekend in Louisville and Friday one day was spent on hunting down bourbon. LSUcdro recommended Mint Julep Tours and John was recommended as our driver if he was available. I talked with Jeannie who books the tours and she was able to put together a custom package for the day. It was explained that we wanted something unique. We knew good pours were not something commonly handed out for tastings so we worked with that we were delt.
We started the day at Buffalo Trace, had about an hour tour of basic bourbon stuff and the history of the distillery. We wanted the hard hat tour, but it had sold out prior to us even picking the date of our trip. The tastings was Eagle Rare and Buffalo trace with some white dog thrown in for good measure. John was able to walk us around a little of the property that the tour did visit. It was a good tour to start the day.
Second stop was 4 Rose for just a tasting and to hit the gift shop. All they had was OBSK at the gift shop, it was nothing special and the tasting wasn't much better. The tour guide was not good and John agreed that it was lacking the day we visited.
The next stop was 3 Boys Farm Distillery. They are laying up around 60-80 barrels a year. We didn't make it in the gift shop, only the barn with the operation. The owner is orignally from Lousiana, but he was not in when we visited. They have been around 4-5 years and everything they have is young but pretty tasty. We sampled 4 barrels, some bourbon, some whiskey, all were 119-121 proof and all of them were pretty good. More for the experience I bought a bottle straight from the barrel. It isn't manicured lawns the tasting was great like some of the large distilleries, this place isn't winning any beauty pageants, but I would take this stop over 4 rose.
The last bourbon stop was Jeptha Creed. This is a very new operation, with a lot of attention to detail. Everything here is young juice. They are using an heirloom red butchers corn grown onsite. The owners are a husband/ wife daughter and they were all there. We had a private tasting in the rickhouse. They are laying up 500 barrels a year and making a bunch of vodkas and moonshine to cover expenses till the bourbon has enough time to age. They pulled a corn/rye batch from the barrel. This stuff is young and around 122 proof, drank pretty damn well. We had a blast here and it was a great experience.

any restaurant and bar recs in Louisville??
Posted on 4/9/18 at 4:41 pm to BrohemAlem11
We never made it downtown, we stayed in the Highlands area and had an AirBnB on Bartstown Rd. We had a ton of bars and restaurants within 100 yards of the condo. The area had a decent amount of hipsters and I think the bars stayed open till 4-5:00 am. I know the sun was almost coming up when we rolled in on Sunday morning. We ate one nice meal at Butertown Grocery. We were pretty much hammer drunk at that point and I think we all felt a little disappointment in the food but it could have been the alcohol.
We ended up going to the horse races at Keeneland on Saturday after a recommendation from our driver, we had to Uber about 1.5 hours each way but it was a damn fun time. General admission is fun and your only option unless you are dressed up in at minimum a sport coat. Lots of people in GA were dressed to the 9's including suits. Many of the females had on very short skirts in the freezing arse 40 degree cold. I don't know how they stayed out there...

I also learned that everyone in Louisville thinks they know how to make an old fashion and none of them do...
