Visit the Stitzel-Weller Distillery

A woman sits at a decorated dining table with plates, cutlery, flowers, a cocktail, and a bottle of Royal Salute whisky.

Right on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, discover the distillery known as the Cathedral of Bourbon, only five miles out of downtown Louisville. Stitzel-Weller opened its doors on Derby Day 1935 and, after reopening in 2014, now showcases the craftsmanship behind Blade and Bow, I.W. Harper, and Orphan Barrel spirits. Experience true artistry at the Garden & Gun Club, where crafted cocktails complement your visit to this distinguished destination. From guided tastings to comprehensive tours, reserve your spot at this remarkable distillery and discover why it earned its legendary nickname.

Single-story red brick building with white columns and a white door, surrounded by trimmed bushes; a real estate sign is visible near the entrance walkway.
