Finding Bourbon Gold at the Once-Abandoned Old Crow Distillery!

Is Glenns Creek the Most Authentic Stop on the Bourbon Trail? In this episode of Bourbon Trail Tales and Tastes, we’re heading deep into the heart of Frankfort, Kentucky, to visit our 57th distillery: Glenns Creek Distilling. Located on the historic, rugged grounds of the abandoned Old Crow Distillery, this is anything but a corporate tour. Join us as we sit down for an unforgettable 2.5-hour tasting with the legendary and "eccentric" owner and master distiller, David Meier. From sticking our fingers in the mash to hearing the wild stories of how David propagated yeast from the original Old Crow Fermenter #5, this visit was a birthday highlight we won’t soon forget! 🥃 Bottles on the Table We’re tasting two unique expressions that prove "lazy" isn't in the Glenns Creek vocabulary: * OCD #5 Bourbon: The flagship. Crafted with a high-corn mash bill and that historic Old Crow yeast, this 103.2 proof beauty is packed with notes of toffee, butterscotch, and deep barrel char. * Café Olé Bourbon: Imagine OCD #5 with a dark side. By adding chocolate malted barley, David has created a mocha-forward masterpiece. Think dark chocolate, espresso, and rich butterscotch. Have you ever braved the backroads to find Glenns Creek?
