Evan Williams Bourbon Experience

Make sure you budget enough time. If you're here for a drink or a flight, make sure you have time to enjoy. Their bar has lots of rare and delicious pours. If you're not careful you'll feel the need to rush.I'd recommend spending time in the bar. There are other sections which are cool, but I think the attraction is getting to sample product that's really hard to find.

Evan Williams Eggnog: Eggnog is a somewhat divisive holiday indulgence. If you are not familiar with it, eggnog is a rich, chilled, sweetened, dairy-based (milk, cream, egg yolks, and the whipped egg whites that give it its name) beverage. Growing up it was never much of a tradition in our home, but I've come to like it over the years, beginning in college when it was consumed with a plethora of alcohol. Evan Williams saves me a step as its eggnog is pre-mixed with a combination of smooth Kentucky Bourbon, rum, brandy, and real dairy cream. At just 15% ABV and 30 proof it's not an overly strong drink, and it shows in the flavor as the alcohol is only slightly noticeable. Other than the hint of alcohol, Evan Williams Eggnog is a doppelgänger of the classic Christmas treat. Both are cream colored, have thick & creamy textures, and have a sweet taste combining vanilla, cream, hints of egg, and nutmeg. Ideally this could be drunk chilled or on the rocks, but I like adding just an ounce or two to my vanilla shakes. Evan Williams Eggnog is a tasty creation to get you into the holiday spirit, Doughboy approved *Only con is just like Eggnog it's calorie dense at 140 calories per fluid ounce. Doughboy_Food_Reviews

We did the ideal bartender. It's so fun!! Step back in town. Great bourbon and information.

Decent bourbon tasting that is reasonably priced. Facilitates are rustic, staff is nice. Did not take the 1 hour tour--$22 around that price for an hour. Gift shop was way overpriced. They would sell more as they had interesting items to try, however not worth the cost.

Attended The Ideal Bartender Tasting with three family members. Our first time here & we appreciated the welcoming staff. They all seemed to enjoy being there & helping us. The entrance is super cool & a great photo op. We were taken to the basement for our experience. Very spacious bar, seats about 15-18. Host was in full character mold we learned a lot about the experience of the black Bartender during Prohibition. He served us three shots from three different aged bourbons & and Old Fashioned Cocktail. If you drink them all please have a designated driver or walk it off. Would highly recommend to do as a group...you'll have a lot of laughs once the bourbon kicks in! Only request would be some light snacks or eats to balance out the alcohol!

We visited Evan Williams on the last day our trip, we opted to do the Speakeasy tasting experience. It was in a small secluded bar and our host did a great job of keeping in character. He told us stories about prohibition and talked through each marque we sampled. This tasting experience was definitely the best bang for your buck compared to the other tastings we did. We got five large pours (full shots) within like 30 minutes. He was trying to get us drunk on a Sunday morning! Anyway, if you want to get liquored up and have a different experience compared to all of the other standard distillery tours, you should check out the Speakeasy tasting at Evan Williams.

The entrance staff was clear about where everything was located and what activities were available besides the tours. One seemed to have a small chip on her shoulder but we're human & she may have been having an off day. Unfortunately, the tours were all booked up, but that's okay. The bartender at On3 was nice and helpful! We ordered a couple of drinks and hung out for a while. I got a cherry cocktail--it was delicious, though I wish I could remember the name of it! My husband ordered a Manhattan, which was very strong and he enjoyed it. The staff in the gift shop were lovely; they had fun little banter and offered help whenever it was needed.

Evan Williams' experience is located off Main St on Whiskey Row. It's easy to find. There is plenty of street parking. I went on a Sunday when street parking was free. Please arrive 15 minutes early as the tour starts promptly on time.The tour was a mix of the tour guide speaking and videos. The videos were like short films acting out how Evan Williams started. The videos were on target and entertaining. I enjoyed the mixed approach on this tour.My fav was walking on the mock Whiskey Row. This was very interesting to learn about. The tasting samples were really good. The 12 year Evan Williams was my favorite, followed by the single barrel. You have to take the tour to be able to purchase the 12 year. We got to try a few more items in the gift shop. Our tour was interrupted by small fire incident. Thankfully, nothing major and resumed the tour. I would say definitely take this tour. I enjoyed it.

Hey, listen up! If you're in Louisville and looking for a good time, you gotta check out the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience. It's like stepping back in time, all cozy and old-school like. The bartenders there are real pros, mixing up some amazing drinks and sharing cool stories about bourbon. You gotta try a few flights, or even the Evan Old Fashioned and Mint Julep--those are real winnersAnd if you're feeling adventurous, take the distillery tour too. Trust me, it's a bourbon-filled adventure you won't forget. Cheers to good times and great drinks!

This is more of a hands-on museum experience than a distillery tour. Skip this and go to Heaven Hill distillery if you want to really see where Evan Williams is brewed. It is a bit of a drive. I only recommend a tour here if you are downtown on main street, and want a few quick tasting room stops and you have time for one more. I wouldn't prioritize this experience. You start by watching a video. Then you move to another room and watch another video. Then the guide moves you to a mock city street where you learn about prohibition and bourbon. Finally you are taken to a tasting room and sample four bourbons.
