It’s an absolute gem all the way around… Amazing cocktails, beautiful aesthetics, and an extremely knowledgeable, certified bourbon expert bartender named Nicki that not only knew the bourbons, but all the great history behind each one. We loved our experience so much that we went two nights in a row! Please be sure to visit them when you’re in Bardstown!“
