Ande and I spent the day in Louisville yesterday touring their leg of the Bourbon Trail. The Louisville Bourbon District was officially launched in 2017 with an initiative that pays homage to Downtown Louisville’s rich bourbon history and recognizes the city’s current bourbon industry boom. We started at one end and walked 13 city blocks down Main Street through Whiskey Row to the other end. We made it to five distilleries and ended at the Frazier History Museum's gift shop.
Our third stop was Evan Williams. Opened in November 2013, the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience is a multi-million dollar artisanal distillery, immersive tourism experience and retail location that celebrates the legacy of Evan Williams, Kentucky's first distiller and namesake of Heaven Hill's flagship Bourbon brand. It was a very cool building with excellent displays and a gift shop. I can't believe it's been here 10 years already. The last time we did the Bourbon Trail it wasn’t around yet.
