    It's a fun place. Tours are great, samples and nice selection reasonable priced. There's a game are and they serve food. Accommodates groups or a place to go on a date.

    Fun hipster bar to enjoy learning the nuances of the dram. Took a cocktail class here for a bachelor weekend and we came out educated and pleased with the tasty classics we indulged. Morgan was the master mixologist. She was knowledgeable about the origin of the products and honestly we all enjoyed her vibe. She was both relaxed and impactful, I felt like we got a taste of Portland out of the experience as well. We walked through 3 drinks; starting with a Martini, then a Margherita, and lastly being an old fashion. Morgan's style is affectionately "bitter old b!" She favors products that are more natural and retro, with a dryer flavor profile. I've had cocktails in dive bars and up scale establishments, and I can truly say that her drinks showcase that sophistication and appreciation of the ingredients. It was engaging, and we felt like the time flew by and was well worth the value. I'm not a fan of martinis, but I appreciated hers. The margs and old fashion were right up our alley, and were good choices to end the class. Would recommend this to friends visiting the area.

    Delicious craft bourbon, vodka, gin, and tequila can be discovered here. The bar I s a cool old building. If you are lucky Willow will be your bartender and she will enlighten you on the options. Do yourself a favor and only order Prohibition spirits as you can get the rat somewhere else. We did a tasting and then had drinks. In order of my preference we had Amburana, Cask, Toasted French Oak, Single Barrel Rye, Double Oak and then the Highlands Gin. After our tasting my hubby had an old fashioned and I had their Arnold Palmer cherry slushie. I could have drunk this all day long. We will be back for a tour.

    For a standard tour/tasting I would give that tour 4 stars. Sometimes the tours can be a little too crowded and loud as they get as many folks in as possible. However I bump my review up to 5 stars because we recently did a cocktail class with Morgan that was above and beyond!! The value for the money, her breadth of knowledge, and the experience were well worth every penny. Will be doing that one again!!

    Loved this place and experience! The tour is super fun and informative. I like learning, so this mob education was the perfect pairing for me. The alcohol education was vast as well. Who knew gin is brewed with herbs?? Well, probably lots of people, but not me! All the spirits we tasted were very good. I highly recommend this tour!

    Different type of tour and tasting. They make bourbon, gin, vodka and tequila. First part was museum like talking about gangsters and illegal stills. 19 year old was giving the tour. She spoke too fast and laughed a lot. She also said to pass over the sponsors because it is boring and no one cares. If I was sponsoring this place, I would not be too happy with that comment. The production floor was very small. They just bought a funeral home across the street and made it bottling line. They had 7 tastings (3 tequila, 2 rye, 1 gin, 1 bourbon) but you could only choose 3. They explained it was due to KY laws. This is bunk because we went to 3 other bourbon distilleries over 2 days and had between 5 and 6 tastes at each. The others gave us nice glasses to use instead of small plastic cups. Also encouraging people to share with their neighbor in the time of covid isn't cool. Tour was pricey! Must book in advance. Next door was their bar with expensive drinks. We added this tour because it was available and most others were sold out. Now we know why. If you have nothing else to do - sure; but otherwise I wouldn't bother.

    Prohibition Craft Spirits spirits is a Baxter ave bar in Lousiville located right next door to popular Mexican eatery called agave. Me and my buddy Jeremy j visited here on a sleepy late December Tuesday night and it wasn't very crowded. The decor here is pretty nice and they have a lovely bar area. Inside is smaller but they have a huge covered patio that is awesome for good weather nights. The menu pricing is a bit on the high ends. But this is a popular area for bar hopping for locals and tourists so you expect that. One probably orders what's called a Nulu old fashioned. Nulu baker after popular neighborhood that o thought was a few blocks away but maybe begins around This area. The drink was actually really good. Had a nice flavor and taste. I couldn't taste the alcohol much so makes me think was a light pour but it was jam packed full of other ingredients so maybe not. For the price I kinda wish it had a little bit more substance. Was a quick drink that I can imagine could catch up to you financially and your equilibrium levels fast if you weee pounding them back. My buddy went with knob creek 9 year which was a few bucks cheaper at around. $8 or so. Knob creek is a nice tasting bourbon so I was familiar already. He enjoyed it a lot. Overall workers here were nice and helpful and the place had a good vibe to it and it's a place I could see myself coming back and relaxing for a few drinks.

    Incredible tour guide!
    Heather B.

    We got here really early for our tour and ended up at the bar. I had an incredible bourbon sour and my sister had their sunrise drink. She loved it! When it was time for the tour, Savon came and got us so we didn't miss it. He actually even gave us a ten minute warning so we could get another drink for the tour if we wanted. Oh man, Savon is a character. Absolutely entertaining with a lot of fun tidbits about prohibition and Louisville thrown in. I loved that this was a history tour with some old moonshine history thrown in instead of just a "this is how we make alcohol and this is our room" tour. We then got to try some good spirits at the end. The (not) tequilas we're pretty darn good. I would recommend this place for anyone coming to Louisville. Especially since they do tours after most distilleries have closed.

    My buddy and I stopped in here for a drink one evening. I got the knob creek and diet Pepsi and I really enjoyed it. It was a little pricey but that's OK knob creek is definitely my favorite kind of bourbon and it was tasty and we got to enjoy the scenery of walking around and enjoy our time

    Museum like tour and set up.
    Stan L.

    Museum like tour prior to a tasting of good spirits! I toured several distilleries in N. Kentucky and this was by far the most fun! The tour starts of with a history of Prohibition. The tour guide was lively and fun! After the museum pieces you got a look at the warehouse and stills. Then of course you got to try 5 spirits; vodka, gin, two different tequilas, and a bourbon. The tour does exit to the bar, where you have a chance to purchase bottles of their spirits or have a craft cocktail from one of the great bartenders. I'm here for a few more days, and will probably return just to grab a cocktail!

    Vodka, Gin, Tequila, Bourbon.
    Shaun J.

    A little funky, but loves this place. The quality of the liquor coming out of this place is fantastic. They clearly care about what they are doing. I went for the bourbon, and left with the gin and tequila were next level! The tour was interesting and very historical. Love this place.

    The Angel's Envy distillery is pretty much the #1 reason that my top-tier chum who literally went…read moreto the school of hospitality and I decided to go on a trip to Kentucky, and after actually visiting, justified it as well. During an early 2025 trip to Washington, D.C., we went to multiple establishments and, coincidentally or not, encountered this specific bourbon and just loved it. The most notable occurrence was at Jack Rose Dining Saloon, where I had literally the best Old-Fashioned I've ever had, using a special Angel's Envy that hung out in some sherry barrels for a while. Since then, we've both regularly ordered it when given the opportunity, and ultimately decided that the best way to appreciate this fine spirit was to go right to the source. So to the mothership we went. My chum did most of the heavy lifting here and scheduled a bourbon tour with Louisville Food Tours (very strong recommend) that featured Angel's Envy at the first stop. It's hard to really put into words what this building looks like as you walk in and explore, but it's just so...nice. It's classy without being inaccessible, and it just felt like a true cathedral of bourbon. As tasteful as the bourbon it makes. During our initial tour, we were probably in the distillery for a solid half hour plus, getting a quick tour of the still and fermenters before being led into a side room on the second floor to formally taste some bourbon. Paula was our guide, both during this tour and later on, and was just enormously impressive, which I touched upon in my review of the official tour as well. She's no-nonsense and loves her bourbon - who can't relate? We learned how to inspect the bourbon in the glass, to take a test sip to numb the pain receptors and to truly appreciate the subtle notes in the bourbon with the second sip. It was legitimately helpful, useful information that we're both going to utilize going forward. After our three-hour tour ended (go hard or go home), it wasn't even much of a discussion - we came back here for a few hours to soak in more of the atmosphere and drink some more bourbon. At this point, it was probably close to 5ish but the place was still pretty busy; somehow we were able to secure spots at the bar upstairs and made ourselves at home. I wish I could remember the name of our bartender (blame the time that has elapsed, not the bourbon), but he was very good, social without being oppressive and was just present and let us do our thing. After sipping straight bourbon for most of the afternoon, I switched to the Bourbon Renewal, which you'll be shocked to know includes Angel's Envy but is a more summer, fruit-forward cocktail and super refreshing. Was the right call and hit the spot. (We also got waters because that's the responsible thing to do.) We finally went back downstairs to the gift shop, which doesn't feel like the right term - it was more majestic than something you'd walk into after going through, say, a museum for an hour or two. It's enormous and offers numerous bourbons and also some very high quality swag. We reunited with our chum Paula and sampled their limited edition two-grain, which was created due to a fortunate mistake in which the rye wasn't added so it's just the corn and malted barley. You CAN see the difference and taste it; to me at least, it's more caramel-y than their normal single barrel. We each bought a bottle to bring back to the homeland. My chum basically bought half the store, but I remained calm/deliberate and my only other purchase was a MAGNIFICENT black hoodie. I'm not kidding - I love hoodies and have probably owned dozens over the years, and this is literally the best quality one I've had. It has this interesting front pouch pocket design with like a pocket within the pocket for high-priority items like your ID or credit cards, and the hood itself is interesting. It's just really good and I wore it all day the next day as we slowly made our way back to the East Coast. It's been washed and carefully placed in my closet, where it will reign supreme when the weather inevitably turns nippy again. It's not an exaggeration to say we probably spent hundreds of dollars (at least not thousands) directly and indirectly involving Angel's Envy on this trip. Worth it.

My group of four decided to wrap up our epic Bourbon Trail weekend at Michter's Fort Nelson Distillery right before heading to the airport. Having already hit six other distilleries over the weekend, we were completely "toured out" and opted to bypass the standard distillery tour. Instead, we headed straight upstairs to the bar and it was the best decision. We happened to visit right at the start of Derby week, so the entire building was alive and buzzing. Because of the festivities, they were highlighting their own rendition of the Derby fan favorite Mint Julep. I had to get one, and it did not disappoint. It was well crafted, perfectly balanced, and served in the classic, frost chilled sterling silver cup. Easily one of the best Juleps I've ever had. The bar area itself is beautifully appointed, sitting on one of the top floors of the historic building with a great atmosphere. A massive bonus: they offer patrons free bar snacks. The seasoned corn nuts were an absolute hit at our table, to the point where we had to ask for seconds (and they happily obliged!). Service was fantastic from start to finish. Despite the Derby week crowds, our water glasses were never empty and the cocktails came out incredibly fast. Whether you are doing a full day of tours or just want a world class drink in a stunning setting, Michter's is a phenomenal addition to any Louisville itinerary.

The wife, who is not a whiskey fan, still enjoyed the tour, and was presented a decent mocktail to sip during the tasting. If you're in the neighborhood, it's a fun way to pass an hour plus.

They also had a chocolate pairing you could purchase with a selection for each barrel. They had a nice little gift shop and we perused what they had to offer and purchased a Glencairn glass for our collection at home. We sat down at the bar to order our cocktails. Valentine's Day (my birthday) had just passed a couple weeks prior and they still had their V-Day special on the menu so I ordered that cocktail. My cocktail was the Crushed Velvet, Whiskey Thief Bourbon, Creme de Cacao, Vanilla liqueur, Luxardo juice, chocolate bitters, and egg whites. It was a fine cocktail although not my favorite of the day. The hubby ordered a Maple Smoked Manhattan which had Whiskey Thief Bourbon, sweet vermouth, bitters, and maple syrup and he said he enjoyed it. Sitting at the bar was nice because they had a huge window open to the outside and you could feel the warmth of the day and a slight breeze. We will definitely be back to try the barrel flight and the chocolate pairing. Nice little place.
