Chapeze House-Kentucky Bourbon House
My guests to the Chapeze House-Kentucky Bourbon House come from across America and from around the world. They come to enjoy our wide selection of fine aged Kentucky Bourbon whiskey. Our guests like to sample rare and hard to find Bourbon emanating from every distillery in the commonwealth. My view is that the trend toward drinking less but drinking better is the way to fly.
We offer thirteen flights of Kentucky Bourbon and Rye whiskey. The flights are popular with Bourbon tourists who like to try five Kentucky Bourbons or Rye whiskey for one set price. We have been featured on the Travel Channel, the Discovery Channel and the Food Network. I even served Paula Deen a Mint Julep on her show. We make a number of excellent cocktails for those that enjoy a mixed drink. Our Mint Julep, Manhattan, Old Fashioned and Bourbon Sour are legend. We build a robust cocktail; all of our cocktails are doubles. We do not like weak men, weak women or weak cocktails.
The question I am asked most often refers to my favorite Bourbon. I never answer as to brand as I have friends at all of the distilleries. I like deeply charred 90 to 100 proof Bourbon aged from six to ten years. At this age and proof the taste of the Bourbon has a nice balance between the distilled sweet corn, the barrel charcoal, the barrel wood and the bite that I cherish.
Make your reservation for a Bourbon Tasting with me. I look forward to meeting you.
