Episode 114 - Urban Bourbon Experience

Lookin'@Louisville

Proud to serve as the Gateway to Bourbon Country as a starting point for the scenic tours of legendary countryside distilleries, Louisville is now buzzing with a unique bourbon experience all its own. Familiar brands like Evan Williams, Angels Envy, Michters, Jim Beam, Old Forester and Bulleit are open or in various stages of construction. Less familiar, but destined to have cult followings are new craft distilleries such as Peerless and Copper & Kings. The cocktail and culinary experience that has been the Urban Bourbon Trail since 2008 continues to grow alongside the popularity of bourbon with 34 stops, each well-stocked with at least 50 bourbons and some as many as 150. All are serving the citys official cocktail that was recently designated with this distinction on National Bourbon Day this past June – the Old-Fashioned. Dining at Down One Bourbon Bar.
