Excursions

In addition to the bourbon, one of the other elements that makes BABT one of the best conferences are the incredible excursions. All of your friends will be jealous as you show them photos and recount your adventures for years to come.
BABT 2020 is no exception. Below is a list of planned activities as well as a list of on-your-own, “choose your own adventure” outings for Saturday.
(Saturday Night Announcement Coming Soon!)

Thursday

Welcome Reception – Sponsored by PRO-FI – Brown Hotel Rooftop – 6pm – 8pm – Light Appetizers and an open bar. Visit with fellow BABT’ers and gear up for a great weekend!

Friday

The BABT “Miami Vice Affair” at Stitzel Weller Distillery (Bulleit Bourbon). It’s a Miami Vice themed night and the best PARTY you’ve ever attended. Be sure to dress in your Miami best for fine bourbon, an incredible dinner, and live music with Tony & The Tan Lines to get you on the dance floor.

Mint Julep Tours – This group will plan your day from start to finish, choose 2 or possibly 3 distilleries to visit, but be sure to be back in time for the Saturday Night Festivities!

Angels Envy Distillery

Rooted in 200 years of bourbon heritage, we create hand-finished spirits that aren’t afraid to improve on the classic tradition. Inspired by legendary Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson’s lifetime spent crafting fine spirits, ANGEL’S ENVY is our masterpiece.

Rabbit Hole Distillery

As our number of whiskeys has multiplied, and to be able to summon one easily, we have given each expression a proper name. Rest assured that while these whiskeys have new monikers, they are the same distinct offerings you have sipped and savored. Each deliberately distilled from our proprietary cooking process and aged in hand‑selected barrels before being harvested in small batches to yield a flavor like no other.

Kentucky Peerless

The first Peerless whiskey went into barrels in 1889. We’ve revived the craft in our own state-of-the-art distillery, where we use the finest ingredients. We believe that patience builds character & fine bourbon can never be rushed. All under one roof, select Peerless grains are milled, cooked, fermented, double-distilled and barreled as Bourbon & Rye. Experience every aspect of crafting Kentucky straight Bourbon and Rye from grain to bottle in downtown Louisville.

Copper & Kings (American Brandy)

We make definitive American brandy influenced by American whiskey and American music. We do not make derivative brandy styled upon a European sensibility. Our brandies are batch distilled exclusively in copper pot-stills, are non-chill filtered, with no added sugar, boisé (powdered oak, shavings or infusion) other flavors, synthetic chemicals or caramel colorants for an uncorrupted, authentic, natural flavor, nose and color. Our aged brandies exit the barrel full integrity intact.

Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory is all about celebrating the extraordinary role of Louisville Slugger in baseball’s past, present and future. We’re here to delight our guests and create joyful, lifetime memories.

Louisville Mega Cavern – Featuring six underground zip lines, including a fun filled dual racing zip, two awesome challenge bridges that will test your skill, balance, and mettle, this tour is guaranteed to get your heart racing and your adrenaline pumping. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind adventure, MEGA ZIPS is the place to visit.
