Off to the Races: Where To Eat and Drink in Louisville During the Kentucky Derby | Vogue

"Downtown Louisville has a brand new distillery in town. The 55,000 square foot space is three stories and offers views of the city, as well as its own bourbon, with tours starting in June. Opening on the day of the Derby, Rabbit Hole is ready to host, teach, and entertain today’s curious bourbon drinkers for years to come." - Michaela Bechler

I was seeking new experiences, and I found myself at a relatively new bourbon distillery. The tour was thoughtfully designed, featuring mini areas that offer a glimpse into the fascinating distillation process. We were fortunate to visit on a day when they were actually distilling—loading barrels, processing, and bottling right before our eyes. The distillery has two bars: one upstairs where they craft drinks and another downstairs filled with wonderful memorabilia. While the downstairs bar offers quick, pre-made drinks, I truly recommend heading upstairs. The view is lovely, and the atmosphere at the real bar is just wonderful. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely encourage others to take the tour. It's a delightful journey worth exploring!

Modern distillery right in NULU. Couldn’t believe how blown away we were by this tour! Chase was a great guide that really made the tour stand out. Their bourbon was even better than we expected. Definitely worth the visit!

I love the view here! Open spaces with lots of Windows, the drinks were amazing and the presentation was on point. Wish I would have had a chance to take a tour but they did not disappoint with hosting our larger group and quickly taking care of us.

5 Stars – An Unforgettable Experience at Rabbit Hole Distillery! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow – what an incredible tour at Rabbit Hole Distillery in the heart of Louisville! From the moment you arrive, the stunning modern architecture of the building grabs your attention. With its open multi-level design and glass walls, it offers a one-of-a-kind view into the art of bourbon-making. During the tour, you get up close to the entire whiskey-making process – from mashing and fermentation to distillation – all crafted with passion and precision. The blend of tradition and innovation here is truly remarkable, making Rabbit Hole stand out from the rest. The highlight? Without a doubt, the tasting on the upper floors! Sipping a world-class bourbon while taking in breathtaking views of the Louisville skyline is an experience like no other. Rabbit Hole Distillery isn’t just for bourbon lovers – it’s for anyone who appreciates design, craftsmanship, and outstanding flavors. I highly recommend diving into this adventure yourself – you won’t regret it! A well-deserved 5 stars and a huge thank you to the amazing team!

This is a small location with a huge personality. Beautiful inside and out, you'll find great bourbon and a friendly staff. The shop has one of a kind selections. And, like Angel' Envy - you can personalize your bottle.

We had a fantastic tour with our tour guide Judy! It was long enough to be informational but not too long that it was still engaging. The tasting on their top floor was definitely the highlight - absolutely stunning views a with a great experience! Reserving tickets online was very simple.

Did the 2:30-3:30 tour on Saturday April 26th. What an awesome experience! David was our tour guide and he was great. Lots of information and he even through in some dad jokes! His jokes were hilarious, corny but hilarious. Purchased a shirt and a bottle of Bourbon after the tour. Will definitely come back!

Amazing tour, highly recommend. We did a bunch of tours on Bourbon Trail and this one is different and great. The tasting with the tour was excellent. And the bourbon is delicious! We learned a ton on this tour that we didn't learn elsewhere. David was a fantastic guide and teacher, much appreciated!

Great distillery with a nice bar on the top floor with amazing views of the city. The staff was great at recommending drinks and they were very well balanced.

Rabbit Hole is a new arrival on the Kentucky Bourbon Scene, with its flagship location in hip NuLu opening in 2018 or so. Its a gorgeous building, all steel glass and concrete, with a shaded plaza on the ground level and a rooftop bar and deck overlooking NuLu and Downtown Louisville. Not a bad place to spend a couple hours on a hot afternoon. The tour is fun and you get a complementary Old Fashioned to lubricate those brain cells. It ends in a private tasting room on the top floor, after which you can continue to sample the company wares from the bar, which has plenty of comfortable seats inside as well as a roof top deck. Their Black Manhattan is particularly good. As for their bourbon and rye? Its pretty good, but nothing really stands out so as to justify the $45 and up MSRP price tags. Like most new distilleries, you are paying their mortgage and debt financing in addition to their bourbon.

I enjoyed the vibe and ambiance of this place! The service was also very good, the bartender was super kind and knew her stuff! I am by no means a bourbon drinker and there was really only one option to get that didn't include bourbon but it was good! I wish the menu was bigger with more cocktail options in general. Drinks were pricey, $17 per cocktail and pretty small sizes but they were delicious.

For our first bourbon distillery tour of the day, we went to Rabbit Hole Distillery, named after the Alice in Wonderland story. The distillery, founded in 2012 and opened in 2018, had a very modern look. Atop of the distillery was a corrugated metal sign, and if you looked at it from the right, you saw a rabbit, and if you looked at it from the left, you saw the words "Rabbit Hole". Pretty cool! We arrived early four our tour, so we spent the time looking around in the gift shop, where I found a hat for my husband, which he really likes. The tour, at $25US, wasn't cheap, but we had a good time viewing the distillery and the tour included five samples: 1.Cavehill: a four grain bourbon with hints of fruit, named after Cave Hill Cemetery, Muhammad Ali's final resting place. 2. Heigold: a high rye (25%) bourbon with caramel notes. It is named after Christian Heigold, a German stonecutter who settled in Louisville prior to 1850. 3. Boxergrail: a rye whiskey made of 95% rye. Named after Muhammad Ali and boxing culture. 4. Bespoke gin: a gin aged in the Boxergrail barrels. I wasn't expecting a bourbon distillery to produce gin, but the gin was quite tasty and I purchased a bottle because it was something different. 5. Dareringer: a bourbon finished in sherry casks, with notes of cherry, raisins, and currents. I didn't quite understand where the name came from, but it was a tribute to the Rabbit Hole founder's wife and her support. We enjoyed the tour and the tasting, and there was also a bar and lounge, but unfortunately we didn't have time to stay for a cocktail.

Rabbit Hole's distillery tour is well worth the money. We were greeted with an old-fashioned made from their flagship Cavehill whiskey. The clean, modern building was designed with visitors in mind, right down to anti-slip droplets that provide traction when walking on a glass section of flooring that reveals the barley mill conveyor system. Our tour guide, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, wasn't stumped by a single one of our questions. The burbling fermentation vats were great fun, and our guide encouraged us to reach down and dunk our finger into the mixture (the distillation process sanitizes everything). Tasting bar at the top has a patio with great views of the cityscape. Reserve well in advance, especially on weekends!

We had a fabulous tour! DAVID was our tour guide and dId an amazing job. This has been one of my favorite distilleries on the Bourbon Trail. I love the history and the older distilleries, but this newer, modern distillery is a can't miss on the trail.

Rabbit Hole is a must-do if you're traveling to Louisville. It's sleek, shiny, it has great branding, and as a trained chemist the live fermentation vats and distillation were a highlight of my 4 days to this iconic American city. A local friend and I ordered a Black Manhattan and a Signature Old Fashioned at the then-two-day-old rooftop bar, which has gorgeous full-height windows overlooking the downtown. We debated the relative merits of the Cavehill, Heigold, Boxergrail, and Dareringer, as the enthusiastic, knowledgeable bartender educated us on the history and gossip behind each of their four signature blends. I appreciated that the bartender sampled aliquots of each cocktail before serving us. The Black Manhattan was sugary, sweet, crisp, tart, and sweet - a real winner. The signature Old Fashioned was a bit smooth for my taste, but my usually bourbon-averse friend finished it before I could do the same to the old fashioned. The barrel select varieties were on hand and absurdly expensive, but the prices for the standard blends were in alignment with those at my local Wegmans. As such, Rabbit Hole receives my full recommendation. This is not a tourist trap.

Had a wonderful time here. The hubs and I rarely partake in alcoholic beverages, but decided to go up to the bar and treat ourselves. How could we not in bourbon country?!? I had the golden mule, and he had the signature old fashioned. They were definitely worth the splurge! The golden mule was one of the best drinks I've ever had. The bartender was friendly and helpful. There's an amazing view from the bar, too. We were able to walk around and check out the distillery, and made sure to stop by the gift shop before we left. Loved that they have elevators, so they are handicap accessible.

Rabbit Hole was the first stop on our second day on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. It was a rainy morning, but we walked to the distillery from our hotel while there was a break in the storm. From the outside the space is kind of unassuming. We rounded the corner to a beautiful courtyard entry with tall windows and modern sensibilities. We couldn't book a tour in advance, but we were hoping to visit their tasting room. We checked in and they were able to accommodate us right away (it had just opened a few minutes before). Once upstairs, we were greeted by a bright, open room with floor to ceiling windows and a panoramic view of downtown Louisville. And then the skies opened, and the view was completely blocked by sheets of rain womp womp. The space is beautiful and few walls they do have are staged like an art gallery. We opted for the tasting flight. It included the full line of whiskies, and we added their barrel aged gin. The whiskey was solid as usual; my favorite is Dareringer. But the gin truly stole the show! A trip to Louisville wouldn't be complete without a stop here.

Skip this stop on the Bourbon Trail. This distillery seems like pure marketing and a big disappointment after the experience we had at Old Forrester and Castle & Key. This felt like a bad theme park tour. The distillery was opened in 2018. The owner is so enamored with his own wisdom that he immortalizes his own quotes on every wall with his name and title. Major yikes. The owner's wife is credited with coming up with the name of the distillery, but neither her name, nor the quote, are anywhere to be found. Isn't she an owner too? He mortgaged her house to start it. I think she has a stake in it. We had reserved a private tasting for our group of 8, which was rushed because they were setting up for a private event in the same room. Our group did not enjoy the tour, the guide, or the tasting of the product.

I've always loved rabbit hole and it was no different coming into the distillery and try some on their bourbon that is not in stores. A fantastic experience however, they were not finished building that it seems like the upstairs was not open, so I missed out on that opportunity hoping to go back some pointsoon and go upstairs and hang out

Though we did not take a tour, we were able to visit their bar where we ordered a flight for our own tasting experience. The bar is beautiful. Floor to ceiling glass windows afford an excellent view of downtown Louisville. Comfortable lounge chairs and sofas are arranged in groupings suitable for parties of two or more. Their tasting flight is fairly priced and comes with tasting notes and some water to add drop by drop if you want reduce the proof to open up the flavors. The quality of each whiskey was excellent and I'll be adding their products to my home bar -- in particular the Boxergrail Sour Mash Rye which is perfect for sipping, or for some of my favorite rye based cocktails like a Sazerak, a Boulevardier, or an Ali Smash. If I get back to Louisville a return visit and a tour of the distillery will be on my itinerary.

Hands down, my new favorite distillery in Louisville (close tie with Angels Envy). The space is absolutely a vibe, modern and edgy. I loved everything about the place, to include the artwork and the story behind how it came about. I sat upstairs to enjoy a couple cocktails, a flight and admiring the view from the gorgeous rooftop.

Modern distillery with an art deco vibe based off a literary classic. We walked in having a convenient location near downtown. Unfortunately there was no tour available, but the staff said the bar was open. We were able to take the elevator upstairs and enjoy views of the process along the way. The flight was fantastic. The Cavehill giving that famous Kentucky hug to start you off. I'm partial to the Boxergrail, rye, and Dareringer, it's a smooth bourbon finished in the sherry cask. There's an opportunity to buy bottles and other swag downstairs.

Excellent tour and tasting! David was personable, knowledgeable and really made a very good tour into an excellent one! We enjoyed the cocktails in the bar; the setting and the view was beautiful. We had the last tour of the day, and the staff was kind enough to stay open for us to have drinks and shop the store- much appreciated. David had some great suggestions for other places in the area to check out too.

They're running a tight, efficient, beautiful operation here. If you're a fan of bourbon and have some time, this place is a must-go. If you're a friend of someone who's a fan of bourbon, it may not be a great fit. Honestly, though, if my biggest complain about a bourbon distillery is that they don't have non-bourbon, I'd say they're doing a good job. Their rooftop bar is gorgeous, but do be aware that it's very windy - even on warm days - so plan ahead with coats if you want to stand outside up there. PROS: -This place was MADE with tours in mind. With a lot of alcohol facilities, it's clear the focus was on making a profitable beverage they can sell and still stay afloat. The idea of adding tours comes in later, and they attempt to retrofit the space to work for it. That's clearly not the case with Rabbit Hole. A lot of the touches (giant hallways through the brewing areas, glass doors into creation facilities, a gigantic waiting area and store) were clearly built into the building itself. Even the floor has an area with glass flooring that allows you to see the pipes transporting the booze underneath your feet. -Everything here is very, very efficient. They're clearly used to gigantic tourist crowds, and they have things down to a system. Walkie talkies are used to plan out groups that are arriving to the rooftop bar, about to start the tour, or on the wait list. Like the hostess will walkie talkie the exact number of parties and people that are walking upstairs to the rooftop bar so the bar staff can plan tables. It's impressive. -There was a decent wait (about 45 minutes) when we arrived, but Rabbit Hole knows that booze makes everything better, and there's a small tasting bar downstairs. They also have TVs playing advertisements and a gigantic gift store to entertain yourselves. A set of bathrooms are right here in the entryway too. It can get a bit crowded (not much seating and lots of people waiting and no matter where you wait, you feel like you're in the way), but it has enough shiny things to entertain you. -Very flavorful bourbons. I was told each one really had their own unique character, and it made a flight a very enjoyable, social experience for those who liked bourbon. Their "alcohol facts" cards that went with the booze was really helpful in guiding the tasting - especially as the bartender was really busy keeping up with the room. -This place is new, modern, and beautiful. The ambiance of the entire place is gorgeous, and it really sells the place. They steered away from "classic Southern" like a lot of distilleries do, and they went straight to "fancy upscale business bar" vibe. CONS: -It's really, really odd that their rooftop bar only sells straight pours of their bourbon and gin. They don't have cocktails or mixed drinks. No beers or wines. While it obviously is a bourbon distillery, this can make things difficult if you're trying to go out with friends who have no interest in straight bourbon but wanted to spend time with you or learn how bourbon is made. You can skip the drinking/tasting portion of the experience, of course, but having time to sip their product in their beautiful rooftop bar is definitely part of the experience. -Because everything is so efficient and crowded, it can feel rushed - especially up at the bar. When the staff is using walkie talkies to announce and prep for specific parties on their way up and you see all of the tables are full, it can make you feel bad for not drinking a ton of the bourbon - especially if people in your party aren't straight bourbon drinkers. It took away from some of the calm, relaxed, "enjoy our bourbon" atmosphere.

Stopped by Louisville to check off a couple Bourbon Trail distilleries and I am so glad I stopped by this one! All I had time for was a quick tasting, so I went to the top floor and got to enjoy the beautiful view of the city while enjoying some very good bourbon. The bartender and other employees were friendly and helpful and the theming and attention to detail in both their product and presentation was top notch!

I visited Rabbit Hole just for a tasting and loved it. I wish I had done the tour and had time for more tastes. From what I saw, the distillery is beautiful and modern. They've got a great mural on the building. The outdoor ground space is so pretty. Inside, they've got a well-stocked gift shop. I let staff know I was just here to go up to Over Look, their top floor tasting room. Over Look is gorgeous with amazing Louisville views and a great roof deck. The staff is so friendly. I loved my taster and loved the fact I was able to just relax and enjoy it in the tasting room. I highly recommend Rabbit Hole and would go back if in Louisville.

I had a great tour and the staff was very friendly. They were helpful in figuring out visitor parking since they don't have any onsite. They gave a lot of samples and even a welcome cocktail. The building was beautiful and I enjoyed all the window walls to see the process. I want to visit again! Definitely my favorite whiskey I have tasted so far and the tour made me love it even more.

We really enjoyed our tour here and like how modern the facility was. We even got to start out with an included drink before the tour started! Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable, friendly, and had a good sense of humor. This was the first time on the Bourbon Trail that I got to see a column still in action so that was fun. It's really so interesting the science of it all! We got to taste the "beer" (grains cooking with yeast) in the fermentation tank. They had quite a few different bourbons/ryes for us to try at the end that I enjoyed.

Very cool, modern bourbon tour conveniently located downtown. An absolutely gorgeous rooftop bar with a great view. Staff is so sweet and friendly. Their tasting offers a wide variety of bourbon, rye and gin. The downside for me is that there is no cocktails at the bar. When we were there ~6 months ago they told us cocktails were coming soon so we were disappointed today to find that this is still the case. Also it closes at 5... this place would be such an amazing hang out if it had the drinks and the time open to support it!!

Seriously one of the most enjoyable parts of our Louisville trip! The facility is stunning and set up very nicely for tours. Our tour guide was passionate about his job and answered everyone's questions and made everyone feel very welcome! Our tasting didn't feel rushed, and we got a great selection of everything they have to offer. After the tasting, we purchased a couple bottles as well as some cigars and a couple of bar trinkets. This is a great place to start if you're just getting into bourbon and want to know more about the production process and all of the work that goes into it! We will most definitely be back next time we're in town!

This was our third tour of the day and I really wanted to blow it off. So glad I didn't. Our guide David was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. I learned more than I did on the other tours. Would highly recommend this one to anyone new to Bourbon or just looking to learn more about Rabbit Hole!

This distillery was in walking distance of our hotel and we weren't able to secure a formal tour so we thought we would pop in and see if we could just get a tasting. Luckily they have stunning bar on their top floor where we were able to taste some wonderful spirits and get beautiful views of the city. Once you get off the elevator you are able to get a view into the machinery in the distillery then walk past some pretty fantastic art installations. The flight comes with tasting notes and we were able to add on a few tastings that we were curious about. The gift shop was full of these wonderful premium spirits as well as some really cute bar items. Since i am redecorating my home bar it was really nice to get some inspiration.

I liked this way more than I thought I would. A distilling operation on one end of the Louisville downtown bourbon trail. Inside is also a small gift shop, tours, and a really cool tasting room/bar with an outside patio and an okay view. The employees were friendly and great, everything was clean and looking in great repair. Parking is so so. And I enjoyed getting to try some of the products against each other.

Stopped by the Rabbit Hole prior to heading to the airport. Had to experience Whiskey from Louisville and it did not disappoint. Before walking in you can smell the aroma of the Whiskey being made. Service was excellent, greeted upon arrival and staff was friendly. The tasting room is up in the 3rd Floor. Bar was clean and presentable. I forget the bartenders name but she made my Old Fashioned; it was so presentable I didnt want to drink it. Rest assured it was indeed Good. Would come back here if I'm back in town.

So a friend and myself have talked about this place for awhile and decided to do this as a fun summer activity one day. It was a super hot June day and a perfect way to beat the summer heat. They do have a small private parking lot but we parked on the street like norm for Downtown Louisville. We had to arrive 15 minutes before the tour even started. We browsed the gift shop for a little bit while waiting. The tour started off with a sample of their Old Fashioned cocktail, it was refreshing and tasted great. Our tour guide informed us they opened in 2012 and the whiskey is shipped from another part of KY. We also got to go to the distilling room and saw the different stages of the bourbon/whiskey distilling. They do distill it in stages and even almost had my breath taken away by one of them distilling. After that we went to the sky view bar and did a bourbon tasting. Very educational and provided water drops to dilute the taste. I can't say which one was my favorite. They all went down smooth. We had the option of purchasing bottles, cocktails or what not from Rabbit Hole, I left with a booklet of Distilleries for KY and a White Chocolate Bourbon Bar. This was an excellent experience and a great place to know how whiskey/bourbon is made. Highly recommend for anyone beginning their love for KY Bourbon even though there are many other choices along whiskey row not far away, Rabbit Hole is a great place to start.

If it weren't for the kindness of the staff member, this review could have easily dropped to 3 or 4 stars. So why 5? Let me explain. Currently the Overlook room is only available for tour guests only. We didn't know that, and was about to get turned away, when the one woman said for us to look around, and maybe get a drink at the bar located by the entrance. While we were heading to the area where they had distilling equipment, the woman came back smiling, and said since it was just "the 2 of you" and it's not that busy today (it was a Thursday, around 2:30 pm) she escorted us to the Overlook for a drink. Aside from a tour group in one far end of the bar, and 4 other parties, the place was relatively empty. We found a high top and Stephen asked Alex, the bartender to make a "flight" of the neat pours in the menu. She gave us the pretty much the same flight that a tour group would get, and highly recommended their Bespoke Gin as one of the items. Stephen wasn't sure if he'd like Gin, but apparently he did. We spent 2 hours enjoying the beverages, and the view, before going back downstairs to get 3 bottles of the Bespoke Gin and a Rabbit Hole tshirt. If it weren't for the nice staff member allowing us access upstairs, we would have walked away, tasted nothing, and bought nothing. Glad it all worked out.

the team here was so nice to us! We had called about seeing some if the art we knew was displayed there and when we arrived they said we should check out the art then hang out in the speak-easy style bar upstairs as long as we wanted. The view was awesome and the bartender was so friendly and informative. My husband did the tasting and I had a couple cocktails. We aren't huger bourbon fans but enjoyed everything we had (try the gin!). Would definitely return.

I loved this place! thought this tour was one of the best I've been on. We started the tour with a special drink - Delicious take on an old fashion. While we were on the tour they were opening a barrel of Dareringer so we were able to taste it straight from the barrel. Mason was very informative and did a great job talking about the process and the history of Rabbit Hole. We had two bourbons and two ryes and one gin. I would love to have ended the tour having an old fashion at their bar upstairs but it didn't open until noon. Don't miss this tour when you are in Louisville.

This distillery is beautifully done - from the tasting bar in the gift shop to the rooftop bar, this is a stunning addition to the NuLu neighborhood. This past weekend I took a group of friends for a laid back bachelorette party and we enjoyed the views overlooking NuLu, lounge furniture and creative cocktails featuring garnishes like origami cranes, gold painted black raspberries and glitter dust in the bottom of the cocktails. You can tell they've put a lot of thought into their cocktail menu. For those who love a classic Manhattan, there's packs a punch This distillery also offers tours (around $25-$30 per person), free tastings on the lower level, easy on-site and street level parking and tasting flight experiences in the top level bar. Overall, a stunning space with great customer service. Looking forward to our next visit.

We booked this trip and the only tour that was available was 1 pm. The only thing is that we had to drive 6 hours straight to get there. We were able to make it in time with time to spare. What was so great as we drove in the city near the distillery, I was able to smell the fermentation in the streets. It was a great way to be welcomed to Louisville. We arrived on time and what was nice to see is that Rabbit Hole has parking on site and around the building. I thought I was going to need to park around the corner. We went in and met our tour guide Terry. He was very nice to take a photo of us in front of the sign. We started the tour with an old fashioned which was absolutely amazing. Terry provided us a history of the distillery, the owner and how he and his wife ended up selling his business, switch careers and move to Louisville to build a distillery. Terry showed us the area where all of the science occurs. It's where the blends and testing and tasting happens. We then walked to a section showing us how the grains are crushed and moved from one part of the building to the next part. The next part he showed us where the barrels get the whiskey filled into the barrels. Terry said they only use 53 gallon barrels, American oak and by Kelvin Cooperage. He did mention that they are small batch and fill 500 barrels up daily for 7 weeks for Bourbon. If I did the math right, that's 3 million some dollars worth of bourbon. That's an incredible investment. We then had to throw our drinks away as we took the elevator to the next section. We visited the area where the boiler heats up and cooks the whiskey. He said they use a sour mash vs a sweet mash, and always start each process off at 20% already in the boiler. It then is moved to different tanks through out the interior and exterior to handle different processes. Some processes is hot and can't touch, other areas show you how it's one form and then in a form of a beer. Terry allowed us to put our hands in the mash to taste it and get that full experience. He took us to the top to view the 45 foot still. I had never seen so much liquid come out of the steel. He showed us a secured tank surrounded by glass. This shows you the still is going. He had us go to the tasting room. Which is nice because you can do mix drinks and or try neat drinks. We tried 5 different drinks (2 bourbon, 1 rye, Gin that is made in London, then shipped here and aged in Rye barrels for 8 months., then the one aged in Sherry cask. That one was my favorite or our favorite. I went with the one bourbon which was also very good. Overall experience was great. One of the best tours that we've been on in a while. I'm very happy that we had an opportunity to visit this place. Terry is outstanding..

Second time visiting rabbit hole and was unable to take a tour again but was able to visit the upstairs bar area. The bar is well design and welcoming and has an outdoor balcony area too. I tried the shochu you think you dance? Drink and it was amazing. It's very flavor Ake and was decorated with an origami gold crane. I highly recommend Rabbit Hole and the drink. The third times the charm so hopefully I'll get a tour on the next visit.

This has to be our favorite distillery tour so far. Over Look bar has amazing drinks and views. We brought some friends back the very next day after our tour to have some drinks at the bar and they loved it as well. Rabbit Hole is a newer distillery compared to others in Louisville but definitely not one to miss. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, tour guide, and tasting. The facility is so clean and beautiful. Highly recommend booking the tour in advance.

Still have not been on a tour here because it is always booked. But my group was fortunate enough to get a spot at the roof/deck bar. Such a great speakeasy/lounge vibe with great views. I found out that the tour ends at the bar with a tasting. I purchased the whiskey flight to get the experience and it was great. The variety of flavors were apparent in each whiskey. My spouse ordered a cocktail called the Sochu think you can dance. It came with an origami garnish and was super good. Very refreshing and balanced.

Recently went on a girls trip to travel the Bourbon Trail from Louisville to Lexington. We toured about 9 distilleries which included a lifetime of memories and laughs. We happened upon this cute lesser known distillery which ended up being one of my favorites. The staff were very friendly and helpful and both the bourbon, rye and vodka blends were smooth and fabulous. Of course we purchased several bottles! Side bonus is the gift shop! It is amazing and you should definitely get a T-shirt with a rabbit emblem! Highly recommend

What a view! I'll have to come back and do a tour! Rabbit Hole is a new bourbon for me and I do enjoy it.

Great views from the bar looking at the city! It overlooked our Airbnb, so it was convenient, too. Delicious and creative drinks. Pricey, but that's to be expected with unique ingredients and a beautiful environment. If you want their bourbon shots for 1/2 the price and none of the view, try evergreen liquor's bar around the corner. The hours are a bit weird. We went about an hour before close and were turned away because the bar had stopped serving. Then we went in a low-peak time, to the point it wasn't clear there was a bartender.
