EXCELLENT Based on 9 reviews Posted on Kimberly VittitowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely a wonderful experience. Lee Caldwell did an outstanding job of crafting the 4 holiday cocktails we had. Relaxed atmosphere, great drinks, and learning a little bourbon history.Posted on Dan T Goins (OleDannyBoy)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whitney was very knowledgeable. Very friendly and approachable. Great atmosphere.Posted on Lori CheneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whitney is a knowledgeable, personable storyteller with a great gift for sharing her love of bourbon and Bardstown. We are fairly knowledgeable about bourbon and tastings and history, but Whitney personalized our experience to teach us new information while enjoying excellent pours and a cocktail. Her Parlor is comfortable, warm, and inviting with personal historical touches throughout, all of which have stories and history. This is so much more than a tasting; it is an incredible journey into the stories and people behind the bourbon. Highly recommend for novices and experts alike!Posted on Hillary StevensonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super unique experience! Was able to try hard-to-get bourbons. Whitney was super knowledgeable and had great recommendations!Posted on Maddie KellerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I had a wonderful time at the Parlor Room! I brought my dad here while he was in town visiting. He doesn’t know much about bourbon and Whitney did a great job tailoring our experience for him while still catering to those more experienced. Would recommend for everyone and will definitely be back!Posted on Sandy GriffithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Parlor Room and host Whitney Rye are incredible! The hospitality was unmatched, and the knowledge of rare and unique spirits was impressive. This experience felt intimate and thoughtfully tailored to everyone in our group. I highly recommend it!
