Calling all bourbon enthusiasts: The Five Brothers Bar offers visitors a unique experience — and a taste of history. Located at the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience in Bardstown, the bar is named after the five Shapira brothers who started Heaven Hill Distillery in 1935.

Stop by for a drink, enjoy craft cocktails and the view of the distillery’s rickhouses, sample a flight of American Whiskeys, or sip on a straight pour of the award-winning Five Brothers Bourbon. The possibilities are endless. Plan your visit.
