The Garden & Gun Club is the next chapter in the Stitzel-Weller Distillery‘s spirited history, a bourbon landmark since 1935. Originally it began producing its own legendary label and now it is home to Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon. As Diageo’s bourbon expert Doug Kragel points out in this captivating tour of the Louisville, Kentucky, distillery, the Garden & Gun Club is a place where visitors can take all of the whiskey wisdom they’ve learned on-site, sit back, and enjoy it—straight up or in a cocktail. Learn all about the storied craft of bourbon making and how you can sample it at the Garden & Gun Club as he explores the site, from the Five Keys Club Room to to the distillery. Discover the heart of bourbon country as Doug brings the distillery’s heritage to life.
