Bourbon Trail in Louisville, Kentucky | whiskey tastings, distillery tours, & more 🇺🇸

Hello and welcome. If you're new here, my name is Judy. And today, we are at Louisville, Kentucky. We are here because we want to go on the Bourbon Trail because we love whiskey. We've already gone on one tour at the Copper and Kings Distillery. They showed us all their barrels, so many barrels. Our lovely tour guide, Sarah, gave us all the details of making the true whiskey. They had a lot of brandy, bourbon, and gin as well. To age everything, we actually use music. So this is a process, it's called sonic aging, and it really is the element of producing sound waves so that it breaks up the flocking on the interior of the barrel. And by doing that, we don't have to rotate your stuff and adjust for shits and giggles and just see exactly what happens with it. They are using a conglomeration of like your super, super sweet table apple, so something you would typically have like with your lunch or even at your dinner. And typically, it's always going to be even partially fermented. The rest of the apples that they're using are going to be the ones that are going to be a little bit more tart. Typically, a lot of people will use them for culinary purposes or cidery purposes, and they're about yay big, so they're very diminutive. It brings a little bit more of a tartine, citrus note. We don't sample people on this because your palate is going to make you go one way or the other. It's just going to be where your palate sits. This is 92 proof. You're not going to be feeling heat so much here in your chest. It's going to be more so at the tip of the tongue and kind of like a warmth that you pick up around your lips. Now this is very earthy, kind of like almost like applesauce earthy. Yeah. And me at home, I end up using this a lot of the time for apple and ginger beer or even doing a Manhattan or sometimes I use it actually a lot of the times I use it within my cooking. Dion in all Nike wear today. What is he wearing? Nike. What is he not wearing? Not Nike. And what are you making for us Dion? I'm basically just making a Sazerac. My version of Sazerac. I'm going to put absinthe. I'm going to use a glass of absinthe. And then I'm going to put a bunch of thyme to follow through on it. It's going to be very delicious. Okay. It's kind of weird, but you can try it out. Tell me what you think about it. It just straight up tastes like licorice. Oh. Really? The finish. What would you rate it out of 10? I. No pressure, but. I give it like a 7.1. 7.1. That's a C. C. You do not notice it. So see if we're already dealing with the oils that are settling there along the bottom. So that can't be all the settling. Oh wow. If you end up adding enough, it outweighs everything. So that's literally settling there along the bottom. And then they end up rinsing the glass of the absinthe. And then you end up. Nice. Thank you. Alright. Mix it up with some ice. Licorice? Not as like licorice as I thought. See it's not that bad. Like not as licorice as I thought. Now I have to try the real licorice. Oh gosh. This is. I was like hey I'm going to be drinking at 12. They actually use the water. It clouds up like this. We had a fun tasting. A lot of drinks. Deep. And now we are at Biscuit Belly. To grab some food. This is our first meal of the day. So we basically went on the tour. On an empty stomach. Tater tots. Biscuit. The Rockwell. And the Biscuit Benny. We're at Biscuit Benny's right now. How would you rate the food? I already had one thing. 10 out of 10. We got the tots. Huge chunks. Dippled sauce. Whatever is in here. And whatever is on the outside. Playing around. So crispy and crunchy. We have no idea what's inside. But it's so good. This is the Rockwell biscuit. Look at that biscuit. It's huge. And look at that sauce. It's so good. The biscuit itself is already thick. And all the meat. 6.5 out of 10. And before we go on to our next distillery. If you haven't already subscribed.

This was also recommended by our first tour guide. From Copper and Kings. Sarah recommended Rabbit Hole to us. Apparently they have a camaraderie. And a partnership. So they both recommend each other. She said that it was way more chill. A lot more modern. So let's see what it's all about. Rabbit Hole. We just left Rabbit Hole Distillery. What did you think? It was good. It had a very nice vibe. The ski was good too. We had a little sampler of 4 different Rabbit Hole. Bourbons. Bourbons and Rye. So do you like Rabbit Hole? Or Copper and Kings better? I would have to go with... In terms of whiskey. I'm going to go with Rabbit Hole. In terms of overall taste. I'll go with Copper and Kings. Copper and Kings is definitely still my pick. We are now walking towards Angel's Envy Distillery. It's so good. So we went to Angel's Envy and they didn't have their next tasting open until 2 hours later which is 420. So we put our name down. Put a little deposit down. Paid for it. And now we are on our way to Old Forrester which is just a straight shot of a walk. Let's see how Old Forrester is. And then we can't wait to check out Angel's Envy. What a sampler of 6. It's our 5th one. It gets better as we go. A little juicier. Libra, so what has been your favorite distillery so far? Favorite? Bottling our own bottle at Angel's Envy. Angel's Envy. Will It is an incredible tour. Friends? I'm going to say Buffalo Trades. But I will second that Will It is an incredible tour and you should go on it. Okay, Will It. And the professional photographer? I thought the tour at Yellowstone was very smaller and intimate. Yellowstone. All of the professional photographers here. Great meeting you. What else do you have to say? Enjoy your trip. Enjoy your travels. And subscribe. Like, comment, and subscribe. On to Angel's Envy. We use 72% corn as part of our match bill. 18% rye. 10% malted barley. Once you stop swirling it I want you to look at it from about a level and what you're going to start seeing are called legs. Wine connoisseurs know this. It is the thicker the better. It shows you that you've had a full-on experience. It also shows you that it's high in proofing alcohol. A little bit of that ruby coral wine color. Do you all see that? No allergy? Okay, grab a bite of that. It's a fast melting of chocolate and as soon as it starts melting on your mouth while you still have the chocolate in your mouth finish off your burger meat. Cool. Can everybody get a second burger? It'll be a little bit friendlier. A straight line after this. How you doing? You looking to try it? Hey, anything for Hoosier fam. I'm all in baby. Oh, Hoosier. All in about the Hoosiers. Yeah, my wife and I. Cheers. Peanut butter whiskey with a little cranberry juice so it tastes like PB&J. It's sweet. It is sweet. The legendary, yeah. The legendary Edward serving the PB&J. Screwball peanut butter whiskey. Why don't you have a little drink? You want me to have one? I don't want the jelly in it. I'll definitely do screwball. The next morning we are currently on our way back from our 24 hours in Louisville, Kentucky mini quick trip. The bourbon trail tasting was super awesome. We went to four different distilleries. My favorite was definitely our first one, the Copper and King's one because the taste of the brandy was just sweeter and smoother. I really liked their apple brandy especially. I could drink that forever. All the other ones were amazing as well. We went to The Rabbit Hole, Angel's Envy as well as Old Forrester. It was all such a good experience on the bourbon trail. The whole bourbon tasting experience was amazing. We had a lot of fun. We went to Fourth Street Live and apparently there was a free concert from this artist named Trace Atkins. There were a ton of people. We also stopped by Howl at the Moon. Amazing piano, guitar, drum players. The whole shebang. Every time there's Howl at the Moon I really enjoy it because I love the dual piano player action going on. I hope you all enjoyed this video. 24 hours in Louisville, Kentucky.
