He was proud of his employer and their product. Same family has owned since its beginning. Loved the rack room, we could smell the angels share, it was heavenly. Double cask was my favorite sample.

Enjoyed the opportunity to tour a famous old distillery. The bar and gift shop were hopping on a…read moreSaturday afternoon. 16 on the tour, a reasonable size, and it was clear that the space (which is good sized though not their large distillery) was set up at least partially to allow for the tours. Got a good history of the founder and the distillery. Enjoyed smelling and seeing the fermenting brew at various stages. Cool to see the coopering (barrel making) including the blazing fire charring the inside of the freshly made barrels. Wife said she could have watched the bottling line all day, and I wouldn't disagree. Small tastings of their 4 major labels in a sit down tasting room. The wife, who is not a whiskey fan, still enjoyed the tour, and was presented a decent mocktail to sip during the tasting. If you're in the neighborhood, it's a fun way to pass an hour plus.

I was very excited to tour this distillery, my husband went here during his bachelor trip almost…read moretwo years ago now and always said it was fun. We showed up around 930am for our 10am tour - they say to get there at 9:45 AM, but we were a little bit early - and they greet you with a welcome cocktail, which was pretty nice, you can choose between an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan. The tour was very informative and you do the tastings throughout, and then we headed up to their rooftop bar to drink a bit more - it was a rainy day but still nice. Overall I liked this distillery and would come back - there is free lot parking too, although only about 20 spots.

We enjoy visiting Kentucky and touring the bourbon distilleries. The tours aren't necessarily…read moreunique from one to the next, with regard to the process of bourbon distilling,, however, there are some stand outs we have found over the years. Rabbit Hole is a newer distillery located in downtown Louisville. As with almost all others, their shop is where the check in area is and it's all immaculately clean. The team that works here are knowledgeable and friendly. I have found most of the distilleries have happy employees- that's appreciated. One part of the tour that stood out for us was a special tasting of one of their founder's blends (Adoura) at the end of the tour. When the price tag for that particular one is $900 a bottle, it's a real treat to try it.

EXCELLENT service and quality food. We needed a caterer for our team staff meeting. We attended a…read moreconference and looked for a local caterer (we are from Washington, IN) Laura and her team knocked the food and service out of the park, HOME-RUN. They met all expectations, delivery was on time (actually early), they included enough service ware and extras to take care of our team of 35. The ordering process was very easy and she was quick to respond to my emails. Her menu suggestions were great and the actual food was delicious and hot when it arrived. Easy payment as well. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone needed a simple or high end catered meal for home or business.

They just overhauled their…read morework space and have had the addition of some friendly faces that help coordinate your event needs. We used them for our wedding this past October (2018) and had them cater food for our venue and bartend our event. We supplied our alcohol for our event (three full-size kegs, an enormous amount of wine, and about 30 bottles of champagne). They were more than happy to serve our host-sponsored alcohol and also kept a menu of hard liquor for the cash bar portion of our event. They had a menu for our provided beers and wines that guests could view. The number of bartenders was perfect and people were not waiting around for drinks. They even had a bartender or just a person who would grab my wife and I our preferred drinks if they saw our cups were empty or that we were waiting in line. Additionally, for our wedding party and ourselves - we were able to stock the bar with our preferred hard liquor without any issues. They set it aside for us and were more than happy to keep it behind the bar. They treated our guests well and I really enjoyed the bartenders - they had a lot of fun and made sure our guests did the same. For our food, we did a breakfast bar. Pancakes with cinnamon apples, blueberries, and chocolate chips; biscuits and white pepper gravy or assorted jams/jellies, pimento cheese, roasted potatoes, bacon, scrambled eggs, and seasonal fruits. I didn't really eat much at the wedding to be honest BUT I did hear we had like nothing left over and that our guests really enjoyed the food! The tasting we did prior to our wedding was really nice and the food tasted good then (so I could only imagine it tasted the same or better when the wedding occurred). The only downside was that we didn't get any to-go food for us which I was kinda bummed about. My matron of honor was literally following me around on the dance floor and tables feeding me bacon because I hadn't had a chance to eat. The company was even more than happy to set up our coffee and donuts that we had ordered from North Lime as our "cake". They did a pretty solid job. They were easy to work with. Responded quickly. Sat down with us at some of our final venue walk throughs to talk about "our perfect wedding" goals, and even helped us out when we ran into issues. They were more than happy to help us out with the kegs and were polite with our requests on which kegs went first and not to just pop the top on all the wine. Logan was our main point of contact and she was perfect. She was hilarious and easy to reach - let us know when she was around in the days leading up to our wedding and even told us to reach out if we had ANY questions or concerns in those few days before. She made this portion of our wedding stress free. Wedding food doesn't have to suck and they proved that to me and mostly my guests.lol

The event was filled with delicious eats and cocktails, educational sessions, and interesting conversations. There was also shopping, including a pop-up shop from the ladies at Sweet Mash and a book table with Fred Minnick, as well as hands-on activities, like pressing your own leather coaster with Clayton & Crume. Chateau Bourbon was set up with a make-your-own doughnut bar, that included homemade bourbon glazes, and they had two amazing cocktails; and Art Eatables was there with a chocolate and Angel's Envy Bourbon pairing. A day seriously could not be more well spent. This event is definitely one not to miss!

Once you sit and sip just relax. They have food in the next room and they will just bring it to you. The smells and bourbon, wow! The Castle Bourbon is smooth! And as you sit at the bar you have windows all around you. Sip up and the food is in order and they bring it right to you. Now that the twins are older they have found the perfect balance of sips and life here in the Kentucky Derby home. Come in and enjoy the sights of downtown. This is located right here in downtown. The smooth is swirling in the glass . Let's do this.

You might be able to enter the shop directly at the corner of Third and LIberty, I can't recall if they have activated external doors. No need to schedule a visit, just pop in and order cocktails or a tasting. Tastings are individual ($3 or $4 a serving) or flights - bourbon & rye or vodka & gin. If you taste something you like, you can buy a bottle, or choose from a wide range of booze adjacent swag. The shop is a clean, well-lighted space. The booze is well made, but not spectacular. We stopped in because we were staying at the Omni. I would not make this a special destination unless you were a fan of the brand.
