At Louisville Rickhouse, 717 E Market St in the NuLu neighborhood. It's a government-bonded rickhouse where you taste whiskey poured straight from the barrel — uncut and unfiltered — surrounded by aging barrels. Barrel flights are available at the bar, and guided tastings are bookable online.
Yes. The Single Barrel Experience at Louisville Rickhouse ($150 per person) lets you taste and select your own single barrel pick, with one bottle of your chosen barrel included. It's the kind of selection once reserved for retailers and industry insiders.
Five bookable experiences: Premium Tasting ($50), Single Barrel Experience ($150, bottle included), Experimental Deep Dive ($50), Rare & Allocated ($75), and Whiskey & Chocolate Pairing ($50). Walk-in barrel flights are also available at the bar with no reservation.
Both. Walk-in barrel flights are welcome at the bar with no reservation needed. Guided tastings and tours — like the Premium Tasting and Single Barrel Experience — are bookable online and are best reserved ahead, especially on weekends.
Experiences range from $50 to $150 per person: Premium Tasting $50, Experimental Deep Dive $50, Whiskey & Chocolate Pairing $50, Rare & Allocated $75, and the Single Barrel Experience $150 (which includes a bottle).
Both, but the visit is centered on the rickhouse. There's a small working still on site, but most of the space is a bonded rickhouse full of aging barrels. Your visit is an intimate, barrel-side single-barrel tasting experience — not a large production-line distillery tour.
Instead of walking a production line, you taste barrel-side inside an aging rickhouse, with whiskey poured straight from the cask. The focus is single barrels and side-by-side flights drawn from multiple distilleries — a smaller, more hands-on experience than the large-brand tours.
