Epic Birthday Barrel Thieving at Old Louisville Whiskey Co!

A Birthday Detour to Remember: Old Louisville Whiskey Co. What started as a trip home from Mattingly’s turned into one of our favorite Bourbon Trail memories! In this episode of Bourbon Trail Tales and Tastes, we celebrate Wayne’s 58th birthday with a visit to Distillery No. 59: Old Louisville Whiskey Company. Join us as we recount our incredible experience with Amine, a master of blending and aging who went above and beyond for our first visit. From barrel thieving in the back of their industrial Louisville home to tasting 14+ incredible pours, this visit proved why Amine is one of the best in the business. We also dive into a tasting of two unique bottles we brought home that day: a 10-year old "barely legal" bourbon with a massive 49% barley mashbill and a 7-year-old mysterious, sweet 119-proof bourbon. Whether you’re a fan of MGP sources, unique finishes like Hungarian or Colombian oak, or just love a great distillery story, you won't want to miss this one. ### **Connect With Us & Support The Journey!** 🥃 **Become a Patron & Get Exclusive Content:** https://www.patreon.com/cw/YourBourbonJourney 🌐 **Visit Our Website:** https://yourbourbonjourney.com/ 🔔 **SUBSCRIBE HERE:** https://www.youtube.com/@YourBourbonJourney?sub_confirmation=1 📸 **Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/yourbourbonjourney/ 👍 **Facebook:** https://www.facebook.com/YourBourbonJourney 🎥 VIDEO CHAPTERS 0:00 – A Birthday Surprise: Heading to Old Louisville Whiskey Co. 1:09 – Meeting Amine: Hospitality and Barrel Thieving 2:22 – The Art of the Blend: Amine’s Sourcing & Aging Philosophy 3:43 – The "Hazmat" Bottle Story: 149 Proof and Patience 5:57 – Tasting #1: 10-year, Straight Bourbon (51% Corn / 49% Barley) 8:09 – Tasting #2: Mystery 7-year, 119 Proof (The "Wheated" Profile) 10:37 - Old Louisville was a WOTY Contender for 2025 11:13 – Final Thoughts: Why We Love the Old Louisville Team 🚨REMEMBER TO ALWAYS DRINK RESPONSIBLY🚨 ❓Questions❓ YourBourbonJourney@gmail.com NOTE: The spirit in this review was purchased by us.
