It's time that I update my 2019 review of Taste of Kentucky. This remains my go-to shop for…read moreKentucky-themed and other gifts. I recently had a "nickel tour" from the shop owner, Karen, who explained that she bought the shop from its original owners in 2023. Speaking with Karen it is clearly apparent how much she loves the shop and how invested she is in its success and growth. She shared that the shop began in 1983 when they had a cart in the Mall of St Matthews during Christmas season and has grown to the amazing shop that it is today. Karen took me into the back of the retail area where I was blown away at the size of the space. Since taking over the shop, Karen has expanded the number of staff members to accommodate the added business-to business market and online ordering. The inventory has grown (hundreds of Kentucky-based resources) to include seasonal items while maintaining the core Kentucky items. The retail space is larger, brighter, more modern, and includes much more merchandise. Local delivery is available and the shop ships nationwide. There is merchandise for all budgets and needs. They also create beautiful KY-themed gift baskets and can assist with corporate gift-giving well. As in my previous review, there is UK and U of L merchandise, KY derby-themed merchandise, beautiful stoneware, t-shirts, candles, and of course all of the delicious Kentucky treats (e.g, bourbon balls, bourbon barrel cake). I am happy to live very close by and proud to recommend A Taste of Kentucky to everyone. The store is located on Shelbyville Rd in Middletown in the Village Shopping Complex. There is plenty of dedicated parking.

At least most of the food was made there, but very limited in terms of physical products. The ONLY reason this has an extra star AT ALL is because the retail workers trying to help me were so sweet and accommodating.

Nice space filled with tons of balloon choices, stuffed animals, Graeter's ice cream, lots of fudge choices, and specialty truffles, bonbons, etc... I am not a fan of chocolate, etc, but I could appreciate the detail, presentation and most certainly the taste these beauties contained. I got a delicious and refreshing raspberry sorbet, and my husband got the bourbon ball (?) ice cream, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Both employees were friendly and helpful while we made our choices. We ate them at their table outside. From the other reviews I read after we went there, they seem like a fantastic small business, so patronize them!

When questioned, I was told, "That's just how we have always done it." The store employee followed up by asking if I needed a particular product that they sell. No apology at all.
