    I have been here before as a while ago. I came back again with my family. It was great tour on that day. Since they weren't running anything since it is their annual maintenance cleaning which is fine with us. We have done so many bourbon tours. The guide tour was great. He took his time to explain. The bourbon tasting was great. We all enjoy it. Then afterward, we decided to stay at the Overlook Bar to enjoy the holiday cocktails. We had great time.

    We didn't have any food but the drinks were nice and strong. The view was beautiful. The bartender was nice and amazing to watch as she prepared the drinks. There were servers flowing also if you didn't care to sit at the bar. The place is spacious for a rooftop (closed in) bar. The drinks are a little pricey and the correct door was a little hard to find.

    Henry was a great tour guide and though the space is small it is well laid out to make the tour enjoyable. The tasting was great and the space was beautiful. Even if you dont take a tour, stop into the tasting room. Big bright windows and lots of comfy spaces to sit, a must visit on your next trip.

    The best tour! Samples were amazing. Love the look. Bought several bottles of bourbon, couldn't help it.

    I had an absolutely amazing time attending a tour of this distillery. The staff and tour guides are extremely professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend booking a tour. This distillery is a hidden gem in the heart of Nulu!

    My husband and I went recently for a distillery tour and also to check out the rooftop views from the Overlook Bar. We had such a great experience! We started with the tour first. We took the Find Your Perfect Whiskey Tour. We got to see the distillery and the whole process from grain to bottle. We stopped periodically to do tastings of their bourbons, and we also got to try their gin. After the tour, we headed up to the Overlook Bar. It is such a cool space with mainly indoor seating, but there is an overlook balcony with a few seats out there as well. You get a great view of the NULU area all the way to the river. The drinks that we tried all were delicious and were definitely not watered down! We tried the Over The Moon, a neat pour of the Mizunara Founder's Collection, a Black Manhattan, a neat pour of the Cavehill Kentucky Straight, and a Gimlet with gin. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and also offered to take photos for us which was such a nice bonus! I definitely recommend visiting the distillery and the Overlook Bar!

    Modern distillery right in NULU. Couldn't believe how blown away we were by this tour! Chase was a great guide that really made the tour stand out. Their bourbon was even better than we expected. Definitely worth the visit!

    Took the tour of this small batch distillery. Our tour guide Karen was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and really gave us a true understanding of the bourbon process. She kept the tasting fun while also an informative learning experience. The bar on the 3rd flood has an amazing view and super comfy seating. We really enjoyed their bourbon and the " story" behind Rabbit Hole. All of the employees seemed to LOVE their job which added to the total experience.

    I've toured a few different bourbon trail distilleries now, and this one was the most unique. Most of the tours are set up where you have a prop like version of the actual production distillery but this place was actively being used. Throughout the tour we saw actual workers doing things like filling and draining the beer pool, to moving grain around in the work bay area. This is a much newer more modern distillery and it has become my favorite of the tours I've taken in KY.

    Rabbit Hole is a must-do if you're traveling to Louisville. It's sleek, shiny, it has great branding, and as a trained chemist the live fermentation vats and distillation were a highlight of my 4 days to this iconic American city. A local friend and I ordered a Black Manhattan and a Signature Old Fashioned at the then-two-day-old rooftop bar, which has gorgeous full-height windows overlooking the downtown. We debated the relative merits of the Cavehill, Heigold, Boxergrail, and Dareringer, as the enthusiastic, knowledgeable bartender educated us on the history and gossip behind each of their four signature blends. I appreciated that the bartender sampled aliquots of each cocktail before serving us. The Black Manhattan was sugary, sweet, crisp, tart, and sweet - a real winner. The signature Old Fashioned was a bit smooth for my taste, but my usually bourbon-averse friend finished it before I could do the same to the old fashioned. The barrel select varieties were on hand and absurdly expensive, but the prices for the standard blends were in alignment with those at my local Wegmans. As such, Rabbit Hole receives my full recommendation. This is not a tourist trap.

    Rabbit Hole's distillery tour is well worth the money. We were greeted with an old-fashioned made from their flagship Cavehill whiskey. The clean, modern building was designed with visitors in mind, right down to anti-slip droplets that provide traction when walking on a glass section of flooring that reveals the barley mill conveyor system. Our tour guide, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, wasn't stumped by a single one of our questions. The burbling fermentation vats were great fun, and our guide encouraged us to reach down and dunk our finger into the mixture (the distillation process sanitizes everything). Tasting bar at the top has a patio with great views of the cityscape. Reserve well in advance, especially on weekends!

    We had a fabulous tour! DAVID was our tour guide and dId an amazing job. This has been one of my favorite distilleries on the Bourbon Trail. I love the history and the older distilleries, but this newer, modern distillery is a can't miss on the trail.

    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.

He took us through the history of the distillery and owners as we walked through their smaller distillery. A stand out aspect of their distillery is the on site cooperage. The cooper that was working was very energetic and treated us to a viewing of an actual barrel charring. I've never seen that in person and it was a real treat. The tour ends with a tasting that included a pin and a chocolate covered caramel marshmallow, which I ended up buying a full bag of later in the shop - they are so good!

Cool to see the coopering (barrel making) including the blazing fire charring the inside of the freshly made barrels. Wife said she could have watched the bottling line all day, and I wouldn't disagree. Small tastings of their 4 major labels in a sit down tasting room. 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.

Our experience started at parking, there were multiple tour busses idling in the lot, and cars were parked rather haphazardly. We were directed to park on the side of the road with such a steep drop off, at one point our Yukon had two wheels off the ground. When checking in to the the $35/person tour (which we booked two weeks ago) I mentioned the parking situation and was told "yeah it's really bad, but we're working on it." I don't own a distillery, but seems an obvious solve is asking the tour buses to park up the road by the gift shop vs taking up space in the lot. We were eager to join our tour and forget about the stressful lot but alas, our tour was an absolute shit show. I stopped counting when I hit to 50 people, our tour guide had a loud speaker, most people in the tour were drunk and talking over him, and for the first time in many many tours, we walked off before we ever got a chance to try anything. There is no reason but greed to not cap a tour, they were making close to 2 grand off a miserable experience for their guests. Again, I do think it was likely an outlier but we will never be back, and I will ensure no one I know ever goes either.
