It's the Bourbon Capital of the World - head for Whiskey Row

My wife and I did a weekend on the Bourbon Trail from Louisville. Did a bus tour to distilleries outside downtown, and then another day marching up and down Whiskey Row. In downtown, the Peerless Distillery is a great tour, the tastings are top notch, and the venue is wonderful. Rabbit Hole is another one we'd go back to in a heartbeat (we keep a Rabbit Hole Madiera bourbon in our home bar now as a standard, that stuff is smoooooth) - it's in an area they call "NuLu" and being redeveloped. Lots of cool places there right now. The Old Forester distillery on Whiskey Row doesn't require reservations just to go in and have a drink at their bar. It was crowded, but the drinks were good. 4th Street Live is just one bar after another, music, etc. Great environment. Porch Kitchen and Bar was the best place we ate at the whole time. And if you can find a place that does a Hot Brown sandwich, try it and thank me later. There were several breweries, we tried one and it was good. We didn't try more, we were there for bourbon and not beer. We also went to Justin's House of Bourbon and Down One Bourbon Bar - there a bunch where you can sample more to your hearts content, of all price classes. I considered springing for the $400 single neat pour of Pappy Van Winkle but my wife hit me when I voiced the thought. I should have let her him me more and splurged... Good thing I'm not going to the game. I'd end up skipping the game and going back to bourbon places I missed the first time instead. ** Edited by HokieinATL07 at 10/24/2023, 5:33:34 PM
