Originally opening on Derby Day in 1935 and reopening to the public in 2014, the historic Stitzel-Weller Distillery is one of the true cathedrals of the American whiskey industry. Located only five miles from downtown Louisville, the Stitzel-Weller Experience is one of the most convenient and impressive stops along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®. Walk the hallowed grounds and taste spirits that uncover the unique contrast between traditions of the past with innovations of tomorrow, including Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, I.W. Harper and Orphan Barrel. Enjoy a cocktail and small plate in the newly opened Garden & Gun Club at Stitzel-Weller.
Five brass keys once hung on the door of the legendary distillery. Discover what these keys represent for Blade and Bow Bourbon and the history of whiskey when you visit. Join the Five Keys Club when you collect all five.
