Mint Julep Tours, a Louisville-based tour and event company, is adding a new day-long "Roll Out the Barrel" tour in which guests will visit a Kentucky distillery, enjoy a barrel tasting, and choose the components they wish for a private-selection blend that will be specially bottled for them.
Tour guests will depart from a Louisville hotel and begin with a private brunch in "one of Louisville’s famed bourbon hot spots."
The tour will then travel to a Kentucky Bourbon distillery for an expert guided tour. Barrels selected by the distiller specifically for the group will be presented. Guests will sample and resample the unfiltered, barrel-strength bourbon with a professional taster to help identify distinct flavors and determine a favorite. By selecting the barrel and customizing the bottles, guests will create their own reserve of a one-of-a-kind bourbon. The special bottles will be delivered or available for pick-up approximately 6-8 weeks after the tour.
The day will conclude with a return to Louisville for dinner.
The “Roll out the Barrel” tour is a full day outing and should be scheduled in advance. Pricing is based upon each customized package.
