I'm relatively a newbie to whiskey, but have been a subscriber to your channel for about a year. I had no idea you had done a Bardstown tour. I just visited there last week without knowing anything about them and was BLOWN AWAY!!! I only did the barrel thieving tour, but fell in love with their campus, operations, and selections. I even tried a flight at the bar and immediately put the Amrut Collaborative as the best whiskey I've ever had. I balked at the $160 price tag, but now I regret not picking it up. I can't wait to pick up their Origins and start hunting for the Amrut!

We did a Bardstown Bourbon tour a couple weeks ago. Trent’s video was spot on with our tour. It’s an awesome distillery!! Picked up a Steve Nally autographed bottle of Discovery #6. So looking forward to Mr. Nally’s 2023 release. Can’t wait to get back to Bardstown, KY, great little town!!

@brokenhatemachine9 2 года назад

Although I am not into bourbon, nor hard alcohol, this process was absolutely fascinating to watch - it is very similar to how craft breweries brew their beer. I would love to see more episodes like this. It’s always enjoyable to watch someone’s passion unfold in front of a camera. Keep up with the awesome videos!

@slbdrinks 2 года назад

Thanks so much for your kind words and checking out our videos even though it’s not your choice!

@jeffwinbush5039 Год назад

I was in a walking boot when my son and I visited the Bardstown Bourbon Company in October, so we passed on the tour and went straight to a tasting in the Vintage Bourbon Room. It's an amazing sight and pretty unique for any distillery I've visited. We had lunch at the BBCo's restaurant and I had a Hot Brown that was so good you'd slap your own mama for it. Highly recommended.

@slbdrinks Год назад

Glad you enjoyed the trip!

@safromnc8616 2 года назад

I encourage anyone who hasn't been to the area to include Makers Mark on your tour. It will give you an entirely different perspective in regards to the process. Some of the smaller distilleries are also worth the trouble of making an appt. if necessary. By all means, also go to one of the large ones. I think all provide a piece of the puzzle in regards to bourbon.

@johng5710 8 месяцев назад

Maker's has the coolest property of any of the distilleries I've been to, and a good tour and tasting afterwards.

I’m starting the planning phases of our Bourbon Trail tour for Oct of 23, so this is great info for me. Thanks for sharing.

I just bought a bottle of Bardstown and suddenly it is my favorite. I rarely spend over $30 but this was worth the step up. I think I will try to always have it on my shelf.

@jshicke 2 года назад

Love the bubbling fermenter of Brewers beer @3:13. I bet that smelled fantastic. Glad to see they are not simply using MGP to produce their distillate and then simply paste on a label and a fake story of how it was produced in the ancient tradition of someone or other. Loved the bottle library at the end. Grandmother had an old bottle of "Prohibition Whisky" left over from actual medical needs. Neither was much of a drinker apparently. That old bottle reeked of history and the aroma of old whisky. Never got to taste any :-(

@slbdrinks 2 года назад

Aww that’s to bad! That whiskey library was simply amazing!

@RABSTRAINS 2 года назад

Awesome Tour! Thank You so very much for taking us on the trip. I have never been there and it was almost like being there myself. Did they offer an actual tasting at the end of your tour?

@slbdrinks 2 года назад

Yes they did! She even gave us a taste of an older collaboration from years ago.

@bryanbond7804 2 года назад

My wife and I have been there. We just went to the gift shop. Had I known you were going I would have asked if you could have stopped by Willett and picked us up a bottle. 😆 I hoped you had the opportunity to visit the other distilleries in the area. I really like Bardstown.

@slbdrinks 2 года назад

Would have been nice lol! We did get to visit Heaven Hill, Evan Williams, Michters, and Barton.

@noahcockfield2589 2 года назад

Really enjoyed the video. We are visiting in June. And will hit a few distilleries in Bardstown. Any non-distillery things in the area you would recommend? Bars or restaurants? Thanks for filling up our weekend cocktail tastings with great videos.

@slbdrinks 2 года назад

Downtown Bardstown is pretty small to be honest but there is a hamburger joint we went to that was very good. Smaller place but they do burgers well! We didn’t have a chance to do bars but we were recommended to go the the Tavern that’s downtown also. Again it’s not big so you should be able to easily find stuff.

Kurt, enjoyed the video. I would recommend sub-titles be added for the distillery portion as it was hard to understand what everyone was saying. Should be a breeze for Trenton. 😎

@slbdrinks 2 года назад

That was Pinhook actually. Bardstown is contracted by Pinhook to bottle their product only.

@davidcolgan3268 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing. While watching, I was wondering if the mash bill is ever tweaked based on the quality of grain. Different corn varieties have varying starch levels. Do they check that?

@slbdrinks 2 года назад

They did not mention tweaking any mash bill. That’s a good question though.

@ikiruyamamoto1050 2 года назад

I was wondering the same thing. Like when wine makers test the level of sugar in their grapes, do they test the level of sugar in their corn? Or maybe it isn't as important because it is a distilled product.

@TheMrjgutz 2 года назад

Very cool tour, only been up to the Miller brewery in Milwaukee, have to find the time to hit the bourbon trail! On a side note, maybe next time time add captions to better understand what was being said during the loud parts, not sure how much editing that would be but either way enjoyed the video.

@slbdrinks 2 года назад

Thanks for the tips my friend! This was our first time filming on site so lots of lessons learned.

@badgerjeff6081 2 года назад

@kevinbales3731 2 года назад

@hollyjhj3732 2 года назад

Looks like a great time! What were they bottling that day, and what did you bring home? 😀

@slbdrinks 2 года назад

They were actually bottling Pinhook. They contract the bottling only for Pinhook. We did get a couple nice bottles on the trip. A nice bottle from Bardstown that only is sold in the gift shop.

@petertumminaro4528 2 года назад

Do you recommend a single tour over several distilleries the same day?

@slbdrinks 2 года назад

A tour itself only takes about an hour and a half. With that being said I think two in a day is very doable. That gives time to browse gift shops etc.

@jonathanpatterson5418 2 года назад

Hi Kirk! I'm curious what they were bottling in the video. Doesn't look like a Bardstown bottle I've seen.

@slbdrinks 2 года назад

No it is not. They are bottling Pinhook. They do not supply distillate to Pinhook but do contract all of their bottling.

@jonathanpatterson5418 2 года назад
