Michter's Fort Nelson Distillery Distilleries • $$
801 W Main St, Louisville

“This place was amazing! We stopped in, unannounced. We didn't really have a lot of time to stay. But, Jacqueline was very accommodating and was able to get us in for a very quick tour and we were able to do a hand bottling straight from the barrel! The entire building and history was so very interesting. And the gift shop was great! The entire staff was very friendly, hopeful, and a pleasure to interact with. Thank you to everyone there at Michter's. I can't wait to crack it open!

Big Bat Bourbon Distilleries •
800 W Main St, Louisville

“This is a must stop. We did the package with the slugger museum and it was a great deal. I give 4 stars because when we booked the tickets it put the two back to back and we had to leave a little early to make it to this. I recommend you put 30 minutes between the 2 or make this first and the bat museum second and come back for your whiskey. As far as the experience it was great. We learned a lot and whiskey is good yoi get 6 shots. We left with 2 bottles of our own blend. I highly recommend this if you like whiskey and you get 6 shots to start your day with.“

“It wasn’t my first visit but it gets better w/each visit! It’s my favorite dining experience for steaks, service and atmosphere. Josh Board was our server and knew all about the wines and bourbons, as he is a sommelier and bourbon steward. Ashton was my server assistant and never missed a step, even though he was training someone. Make a reservation soon so you don’t miss out and have to go elsewhere.“

Angel's Envy Distillery Distilleries • $$
500 E Main St, Louisville

“Angel's Envy was our favorite distillery in Louisville.
We initially stopped in to get out of the rain, but ended up staying for a couple of hours.
They have super friendly staff and amazing bourbon.
Ask the front desk if you can visit the upstairs bar, and you'll find a private bar with a great view of Slugger Field. The huge wooden tables and ceiling-high rows of bourbon barrels made this spot even more fun to hang out.
10/10 I'd highly recommend making this a stop on your Louisville trip.“

“Hell or High Water was an excellent cocktail bar in Louisville. It oozed atmosphere from the second we walked in, and the service was solid throughout. Really enjoyed the drinks we received and the overall experience. I also felt the prices were decently fair for a higher end cocktail bar.“

“Awesome stop for a custom whiskey flight. I hit the jackpot with expert bartender CC, who took my request for a custom whiskey flight as a challenge and knocked it out of the park with three choices setup in the perfect order. She knew the story behind each one and quickly looked up some additional details on her phone when she wasn't sure. The bar is clean and spacious and full of light. Whiskies are arranged by family for easy identification. She described a "Black Manhattan" that sounded delicious, but I'll have to try that next time. Proof on Main makes the perfect place to treat your taste buds while waiting for a distillery tour. Slainte!“
