(Was hopping for the 10 yr Bourbon but got the 10 yr Rye.) Had always heard good thing about the rye too but a little more than i usually pay for any bottle, but hey . . . .

I opted for the tropic & Derby after dark. The tropical one was fun with the addition of the coconut cream and the added bananas. The Derby after dark was also a front runner with the hint of chocolate added with the mint, paired very nicely! Isaiah was amazing throughout our entire reservation, staying on top of refilling our snacks that paired perfectly with the drinks and flights! They are strict on their 1.5 hour stay per table so be mindful when ordering your drinks . That said, I did overhear the servers reminding the tables of their time remaining and allowed them to ample time for last call.

They also have a shop there along with a bar for paid tastings of their bourbons. The staff are friendly and personable and the site is welcoming. We were early for our tour but there was seating along with the shopping and bar. Our tour guide was Carter and he was very knowledgeable. He took us through the history of the distillery and owners as we walked through their smaller distillery. A stand out aspect of their distillery is the on site cooperage. The cooper that was working was very energetic and treated us to a viewing of an actual barrel charring. I've never seen that in person and it was a real treat. The tour ends with a tasting that included a pin and a chocolate covered caramel marshmallow, which I ended up buying a full bag of later in the shop - they are so good! This is, by far, my favorite bourbon trail tour yet - partly because of Carter, the cooperage, and the little extras we were given. I highly recommend!

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 found the high proof points to be draining, and so I can't recommend buying a bottle with my own money. The chocolates are a must pairing. Service, however, is super chill and friendly. The bar is a chill place to hang out afterwards, and the bitter blend for their Old Fashioned is stellar. I also bought a couple bars of soap. Earthy and aromatic!

This was the second stop on our birthday tour through the Louisville bars and distilleries. We were…read moreable to park right outside the distillery in a reserved spot in sort of an alleyway. One of the things they offered in this distillery was a chance to tap right into a whiskey barrel for a flight of 5 different barrels. This was a really cool option but I knew I had a long day and evening ahead of me so I did not give it a try but definitely will be back to give it a go. They also had a chocolate pairing you could purchase with a selection for each barrel. They had a nice little gift shop and we perused what they had to offer and purchased a Glencairn glass for our collection at home. We sat down at the bar to order our cocktails. Valentine's Day (my birthday) had just passed a couple weeks prior and they still had their V-Day special on the menu so I ordered that cocktail. My cocktail was the Crushed Velvet, Whiskey Thief Bourbon, Creme de Cacao, Vanilla liqueur, Luxardo juice, chocolate bitters, and egg whites. It was a fine cocktail although not my favorite of the day. The hubby ordered a Maple Smoked Manhattan which had Whiskey Thief Bourbon, sweet vermouth, bitters, and maple syrup and he said he enjoyed it. Sitting at the bar was nice because they had a huge window open to the outside and you could feel the warmth of the day and a slight breeze. We will definitely be back to try the barrel flight and the chocolate pairing. Nice little place.

At the end of the tour you would normally go to a tasting room but since we were the only ones, he took us up and pulled samples with a whiskey thief from the barrell. It was so much fun and they had so many unique options to try. We rook a bottle of the french oak home. Definitely recommend stopping on your next Louisville trip and ask for our tour guide George.

The space is cozy, and the bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. Perfect spot for our Saturday afternoon. In contrast to Peerless, the high proof selections here at Prohibition were incredible. The unique styles and flavor profiles that their distillers have created had me rethinking everything I thought I knew about barrel proof libations. My favorites were the agave spirit (añejo) and the toasted bourbon. The amburana barrel aged whiskey blew me away! It's like nothing you've ever tasted I guarantee. This was easily my favorite whiskey on the trail. 10/10 would recommend! Do NOT miss this!

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.

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.

Top 5 everyday drinker is HH 7yr BiB. Favorite rye is Rittenhouse. I have at least 20-30 bottles of HH product. The line up was criminal for a tasting. They should pay their patrons for having to stomach mellow corn (not capitalized because it doesn't deserve to be!). Larceny is a dollar a dozen as is elijah craig. I would have preferred cheap Old Fitzgerald and the brown label Henry McKenna. Anything other than the "line up" sampled. The only high point was our host, Debbie. Debbie was very nice, pleasant and knowledgeable about HH. Four days in Louisville and my only disappointment was the Heaven Hill Experience. HH has to rethink the line up they offer for tastings if they want people to return. Combined my buddies and I have over 1,000 bottles- this was the biggest DUD of our trip.
