Skinsfan1311 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 This will be our last day in Louisville. We opted for a private tour, due to the distance of Maker's, and we want to drink. At this point, we will have already visited Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Town Branch, Beam, Angel's Envy, Evan Williams & Wild Turkey. Could possibly squeeze another one in, but we don't need to blitzkrieg Kentucky, because we'll be back. It all depend on how we feel There are 7 of us going, but we booked a private tour on a 9 passenger vehicle, (for comfort), with Mint Julep Tours. We're actually getting an 11-passenger vehicle, (Ford Transit), for the price of the 9-passenger. The way it works is that you reserve a vehicle, then work with them to figure out your itinerary. We'll be staying at the Seelbach 8:30 am pickup at the hotel 10:00 am - 12:00 Maker's Mark 12:30 - 1:45 Talbot Tavern for lunch 3:00 - 3:45 Blade & Bow Private Tasting* 4:45-6:00 Jeptha Creed Private barrel tour & tasting W/Master Distiller* This one really has me intrigued, as you get a "straight from the barrel tasting" which is curious as it's a newer distillery. I haven't read much on the board about them, so I'll let everyone know how it turns out. 6:30 back at the hotel Thunder over Louisville is going on that night, so maybe we'll check out the fireworks, if we're not too drun....err......tired. *Mint Julep Exclusive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdcdguy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 This sounds like a lot of fun! It would be too long for me though. When we do the trail, we usually head out like 10 AM, and do 3 tours, or maybe 2 tours, and one gift shop tasting and call it a day around 3 pm. Then back to the hotel for dinner and drinks. Then the next day we repeat the schedule with different distilleries. The Seelbach is a real nice hotel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's our last day, and it's a Saturday to boot, and and Maker's seems like a hike, which is why we picked that day to utilize the tour company. Can't wait to check out the Seelbach too...
