I love Louisville. It's the perfect mix of the south, country life and a city. Recently, when my friend BB came to visit, we headed to the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience.  Locals say it is cheesy but I liked the history incorporated into the tour.  It is the perfect way to learn about what Bourbon is, what you like and how it makes Louisville and Kentucky the way the area. The tickets are like $10 for an hour tour and a taste test of three Bourbons. Of the three, I like the single barrel bourbon which is a little more expensive than the normal one but so much smoother to drink.
