I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Bourbon is an inextricable and iconic part of Kentucky culture. But there’s a place in Kentucky that’s taking the Bluegrass bourbon experience to another level entirely. With a tagline of #EatYourBourbon, Bourbon Barrel Foods is putting Kentucky’s favorite spirit front-and-center for everyday meals and snacks. From bourbon-spiked bitters to bourbon-infused sauces, bourbon-roasted coffees to bourbon-soaked peanuts, Bourbon Barrel Foods is making bourbon part of Bluegrass cuisine and Sunday suppers… and we’re here for it!
Bourbon buffs, unite! Bourbon Barrel Foods is a shop in Louisville, Kentucky, that produces a collection of all-natural, award winning foods that embrace the history and proud culture of Kentucky's Bourbon Country.
All of the items sold in the store are handcrafted in Louisville, Kentucky, using reclaimed (Kentucky) distillery barrels for smoking and aging, two processes which impart unrivaled depth of flavor!
Bourbon Barrel Foods is well-known for their bourbon-spiked sauces. From classic barbecue to ponzu and soy sauce, bourbon has a place in cuisine from all around the globe!
In fact, it all started with their Bluegrass Soy Sauce. This is the only microbrewed soy sauce made in the country, and the only soy sauce in the world that is fermented and aged in bourbon barrels!
Bourbon belongs in your morning cup of joe, too. Bourbon Barrel's Aged Coffee features Safai Coffee Company’s 100% Arabica beans that have been flame-roasted and aged in Bluegrass bourbon barrels. Think Irish coffee, but better, because, bourbon.
Is Bourbon Barrel Foods aiming for world bourbon domination? Perhaps. But once you've tried all the delicious, bourbon-soaked specialties from this local store, you'll be fully on board with "eating your bourbon," too!
Bourbon Barrel Foods is absolutely worth seeking out for yourself. You’ll find this unique store at 2170 Frankfort Avenue in Louisville, Kentucky, 40206.
Are you into all things bourbon in the Bluegrass? Then you’ll definitely want to put this amazing accommodation on your bourbon bucket list… it’s the actual Maker’s Mark family home, complete with its epic bourbon bar!
