The Evan Williams Bourbon Experience is coming to downtown Louisville's revitalized Whiskey Row [Travel]

May 16, 2012 - 1:44pm

Historic Whiskey Row in downtown Louisville is getting the make-over of a lifetime, and one of its first and biggest attractions will be the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, slated to open in the fall of 2013.

As Governor Steve Beshear treks across Asia, bearing the gifts of “bourbon-whiskey” from his Old Kentucky Home, it is becoming evident that the spirits industry is thriving, and our home state is at the epicenter. Investors in places as far away as Japan are taking an interest in the beverage that was born and raised in the Bluegrass, meaning our hometown stills are experiencing unprecedented growth. With a rise in profits comes an expansion of the beloved distilleries where these liquors have been fostered for years.

by Dave Rose

The King is coming back to Louisville! That's right yet another Elvis sighting.

The name Elvis conjures up visions of hip shaking, gold records, and screaming women—the likes of which are rarely seen to the scale that the young man from Mississippi was able to create.

Weeked Tank Trip: Enjoy winter while it lasts at Perfect North Slopes [Travel]

January 20, 2011 - 4:07pm

by Svetlana Binshtok

While the snow seasonlasts, tap into your inner snow-bunny, or your inner bourbon-next-to-a-fireplace-bunny. Perfect North Slopes accepts both.

The recent break from winter, although rainy, was a welcome change, but with the approaching snow storm it’s safe to say that winter hasn’t totally left us, yet. While I’m prone to hole up inside and complain about the cold stuff, there is a great opportunity to enjoy the weather while it lasts, and it’s less than a tank of gas away.
