The Whiskey Row Tasting Course #255
Ready for a fun night out? Join us In person in THE VAULT ROOM onThursday, October 29, 2026 at 6:30 pm for The Whiskey Row Region Course (#255).
Discover how Louisville’s historic “Whiskey Row Region” went from pre-Prohibition powerhouse to a vibrant modern bourbon hub. In this class, you’ll explore the evolution of Whiskey Row in and around downtown Louisville, Kentucky, from its early days as a major whiskey trading center to its decline after Prohibition and its dramatic rebirth starting in 2013 with the opening of the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience. You’ll learn how a wave of new urban distilleries and visitor experiences has re-established this area as the third major bourbon-making region in Kentucky.
Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just beginning your whiskey journey, this event offers a perfect blend of history & flavor. The class will be an interactive 1.5 hour presentation on the history and virtues of Whiskey Row distilleries and their products. During the class, each participant will receive 6 - 1/2 oz samples of whiskies to smell and taste. Your ticket also includes appetizers to enjoy along the way.
