I think Hyde needs a raise. The audio, editing and filming are definitely upping the ITL game. I
Thank you, I really enjoyed the video and tips. We've been meaning to do a similar trip and will be using you tips as a guide.
Old Forester does in fact distill 25% or so of their output there. They also build their barrels and toast and char them in that location. They also have a heat recycled warehouse there.
A couple years ago we completed the whole Bourbon Trail book in 8 days. Totally doable, just need planning. One of my top 3 vacations.
This is a great resource! Appreciate the video.
Nice job on this video Hyde, very informative and solid tips!
Great video! Pappy 15 is a special experience. Really enjoy michters 10 year bourbon & rye. Eh Taylor barrel proof is a favorite neat or in an old fashioned. Also who doesn’t like some regular buffalo trace & knob creek 12 year. Stagg jr is a favorite also
Excellent video - saving it to my list for planning a future trip! Cheers!! 🥃
Fun Fun! We did some of the trail just as the pandemic was fading but froze in late winter also. Some closed, so will have to go back when its warm! Yeah, you can't do it all but will enjoy most places. Thanks for sharing and taking us along! Cheers!
This looks like an amazing time! On my to-do list! ☑️
Great video. Brought me back to our epic trip in Dec. We hit 17 in 5 days. Didn't tour all, and tried to do different experiences. For instance I really geeked out at Castle & Key, but only walked around. Another fantastic experience is Whiskey Thief where you you get to thief your own bottle(s). I guess Pursuit United is doing the something similar now. We did Bourbon Trivia at Bullit( I won about a $100 gift bag). Woodford reserve had a tasting paired with different snacks. We did the Speakeasy at Evan Williams. BBC thief tour is great. Have done it 2x now. Glenns Creek we got to watch them working as we were tasting. Had some great pours at Evergreen as well (Stagg Jr & WR double double bottle kill). Their store pick Nashville Barrel Co is phenomenal.
A Big thanks from Germany
As a KY boy I can say this is a great video and the Evan Williams Experience has liquid gold on their menu! Wow! Next time you go let me know b/c you missed some of the best stops on the tour. 4Roses, Castle and Key, Wild Turkey, the OMNI Speakeasy, and downtown Lexington.
This is one of the best Bourbon Trail videos on TH-cam great job.
Appreciate the kind words
Very satisfying video man… I just subscribed
Very well done video!
You should have done a tour at Old Forester. They toast and finish in a charred barrel, only one I know of that toast their barrels.
Nice job on this one. I have a barrel aging at makers mark. About 2 more years then I get to dip personalized bottles from it. Old Forester 1910 and 1920 are regulars in my selection at home. You should try Rabbit Hole Dareringer and also wild turkey Kentucky spirit. I also love my scotch. If you ever go to the Brown Derby at Disney Hollywood studios they have a Macallan flight for $90 which is a pour of 15,18, and 25 year. If you are in the Williamsburg VA area check out eight shires distillery, they have a three year bourbon made with Indian corn similar to what they were distilling in colonial times.
I have done 8 Shires and it was a cool spot.

Big fan of wheated bourbons. Pappy is wheated.
I've been to Kentucky many times and stopped at all the distilleries. You hit some great spots (there are tons of others). Wheated bourbons are my favorite as well. You should do what you can to get Weller Antique 107 (Red Bottle). That is an outstanding bourbon that is quite a bit better than Weller Special Reserve. Great Video!!
There is a store pick from Bardstown that I tried called bourbon candy , one of the best bottles I have ever tried.
If you enjoy the lower proof wheated bourbons like myself. Try the Mitchner’s single barrel 10year, impossible to find but amazing! Maybe you can find an affordable pour of it before you buy, but trust me you’ll love it! Great video, heading to Louisville in two weeks so this was a big help.
If you are in Louisville be sure to hit the OMNI Speakeasy, Rabbit Hole Distillery, Hell or Highwater bar, and the Old Seelbach Bar. If you are downtown you can't pass those up.
2 keys to the bourbon trail - plan well and have a dd.
👍👍
waiting in that lineup for a bottle of Blantons....lol
If you're not on the website at 10 am Eastern time on a Wednesday when they release the next week of tours, you're not getting a Buffalo Trace tour reservation. I had to pay for the other distillery tours, but never had a problem getting a tour on the day I wanted, and planned 3 months ahead.
you didnt go to Fort Nelson Michters?? You were standing right n front of it
High proof wheated!
Evan Williams has their 12 year you can only get from the gift shop or Japan
In the Buffalo Trace giftshop scene, there is a bottle on the shelf below the Sazerac Rye. Does anyone know what that was? Couldn't recognize the label.
Are the distillery stops inside of Louisville friendly for walk-ins? Or should I be making reservations?
Reservations are a must. And they generally book up days and weeks in advance for weekends.
I’m local to Louisville and we consider evergreen expensive
Just a question for clarification. Did you do this tour of the trail in December? Curious as to the weather conditions when my barrel at MM is ready and we visit the trail.
We did it January… the week before and first day we were there it was in the 50s, rest of the trip it was in the 20s. So total roll of the dice. On the positive it’s easier to get reservations and tours as it isn’t really crowded at all. Another pro for early winter is lots of winter cocktails and some distillery decorate for holidays
@@IntheLoopPodcast Thanks for the reply. May be a good time for us to visit as well.
How much can I expect to spend for a trip like that ?
Depends… on one hand it can be done cheap. Buffalo Trace tours + samples are free, most distilleries offer free samples and are free to explore. Lots of hotel options give you flexible for cheap hotels. It gets expensive if you want to try fancy pours or buy distillery exclusive bottles. But without doing those two it can be a very cost friendly trip. If you planned $25 bucks per distillery per person that probably covers a pour or two if it isn’t free.
Awesome video but, in San Diego I pay $45-50 a bottle of Blanton’s most of the time I give them away to friends.
I think you need to recheck the name on those bottles. That’s $20 below msrp. Not happening
Right?! I am able to pay MSRP once a year...actually it has been $60 but did go up this last December to $69.
Note: the moxy hotel lobby pour prices are nowhere near “reasonable”. 35 bucks for an EH Taylor pour is pure robbery lol that is a 45 dollar bottle. If you want reasonable pour prices, liquor stores will always be the way to go in KY. cheers friends
$45 in Louisville but sadly not the rest of the country. Moved out of Lexington to Scottsdale then to Chattanooga and a bottle goes for over $100 nearly everywhere. Crazy!
@@chays19751 45 in Louisville… if you know somebody ;) haha
Holy fk those prices for a pour are way to high
Evergreens prices are no longer that good. Two years ago the 15 year pappy was 30 an ounce! The 10 year van winkle was 18 an ounce! Everything has almost doubled or tripled in a short period of time
