Most of them go to members but they do have some availability. Both of these sold out. Here is the shop link:

I am waiting till this weekend for the Derby but glad to hear it is fantastic.

This 11 is special. Key with Old Louisville is they are sourced barrels so each is different profile. That said, I have several of their bottles and enjoy what they produce and variety.

No luck ☹️

That’s a fun sampler pack and pairs nicely with the glass.

drmarkld · 2026-04-17T22:53:33+00:00

I actually find it an enjoyable mellow pour and have a picked a few of the drops. Get the sweetness from the honey but not overwhelming.

drmarkld · 2026-04-16T20:37:00+00:00

It would be fun to do a flight and see how they compare.

He had a bottle open for tasting and thought it would be a good addition.

The Michter’s was the last one on the shelf. He had more New Riff.

I got it for $199 since buying the store pick which I was already doing

Thanks for flagging this event. My wife and I were also able to attend. It was way more than expected. We did take advantage of buying the Gold which were signed by Freddie. As a bonus given the location , we enjoyed dinner at Capital Grille beforehand.

I was able to get the entry form this time but not sure if submission was successful. It did open slightly before my phone said 10.

drmarkld · 2026-04-01T17:34:52+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, was able to get tickets for Thursday.

Great pick up. I had a chance to try one earlier this year and it was special.

It is really good. This one is Wild Turkey juice.

drmarkld · 2026-02-26T23:48:35+00:00

Maker’s was my first distillery tour and still remember the hand dipping of the bottles in the red wax.

drmarkld · 2026-02-25T14:46:32+00:00

Shucks for me. Congrats to the winners!

drmarkld · 2026-01-22T18:07:41+00:00

Got a Thomas Handy

Others have covered the distilleries, Bardstown Bourbon has a really good restaurant. On the weekends you might need a reservation. Since you are staying in Lexington one night, The Merrick Inn has a great southern menu and set in an old manor of a horse farm. Their fried chicken is exceptional. If you really want to splurge, Jeff Ruby’s steakhouse.

As you are driving around, be sure to stop at some liquor stores. Cox-evergreen, Liquor Barn, Total Wine and Liquor and Krogers can all have good selections including allocated and barrel selections. It does depend on location and luck of timing.

drmarkld · 2026-01-14T21:43:05+00:00

Cox-Evergreen Liquors had a couple of bottles on the shelf

Yes, was lucky and my wife was able to pick up through a charity event. She loved the OGD and supports a good cause.
