Distilleries:

  • Angels Envy -  In the heart of Louisville, Kentucky, Angel’s Envy was founded by Bourbon Hall of Fame member and Master Distiller, Lincoln Henderson, and his son Wes Henderson
  • Michter’s - The US★1 expressions, so named to honor Michter’s heritage harkening back to America's first whiskey company, founded in 1753, consist of some of the finest single barrel and truly small batch whiskeys available.
  • Woodford Reserve - The art of making fine bourbon first took place on the site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery, a National Historic Landmark, in 1812. You get that sense of history. The history of bourbon is the history of Kentucky, is the history of the United States.
  • Buffalo Trace - Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years.
  • Old Forester - Our founder, George Garvin Brown, was born September 2, 1846 in Munfordville, KY. In 1863 he moved to Louisville to attend high school, and eventually became a pharmaceutical salesman. And it was that particular line of work that led him to create the First Bottled Bourbon™, Old Forester, in 1870.
  • Bonus Distillery - We have a variety of distilleries to choose from and will announce the selection the day before.  We're thrilled to explore something new together!
