Bulleit Bourbon Distillery

City: Louisville, Kentucky
Weather: 85°, sunny
Site: Bulleit Distillery
Activity: Bourbon tasting and touring

 

On the drive back up to NYC we went farther west through Kentucky to explore the Bourbon Trail and a few states we’ve never explored. I actually loved Kentucky and its smallish family farms and hilly landscape.

The Bulleit Distillery was very pretty with its old brick and weathering steel Rackhouses.

Some facts I found interesting:

-The barrels are handmade with no glue, after bourbon they go on to be used for rum

-The bourbon actually seeps deeply into the charred barrel gaining its flavor

-Whiskey begins as a “Beer” first before being distilled

Beautiful old brick distillery where Bulleit Whiskey is made. Louisville, Kentucky
