Reviews

We attended his (The Colonels) "Bourbon University" session which covered the nuances of 17 Bourbons, 3 Rye Whiskeys, and 3 delicious bourbon cocktails. I thought I knew a lot about bourbon, but was amazed about how much I learned in that session.

Go spend an evening with the Colonel. Can you find better people to share an evening with than the Colonel, Maragret Sue and Rosemary? Never! Go here and take a step back into more peaceful times.

The Colonel Tastes Bourbon The Kentucky Way

While you are in Bardstown book a Bourbon University, Cocktail Mixology or Connoisseur Bourbon Tasting. You will meet and spend time with The Colonel as he teaches and facilitates the class.The Kentucky Bourbon House has a wonderful bar for the enjoyment of Bourbon, Cocktails, Wine and Craft Beer. 

 

The Colonel and Margaret Sue serve premium Kentucky Bourbon to their guests at Colonels Cottage Inns virtually every night. We are famous for our Kentucky Bourbon cocktails Kentucky Mint Juleps garnished with fresh cut mint from our garden, the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned. We love to make Bourbon, Vodka and Gin Martini’s and we stock a good inventory of wine and craft beer on draft. We offer Bourbon University, Cocktail Mixology and open the bar by reservation. The Kentucky Bourbon - Chapeze House was built in 1787 and the house and the bar are absolutely beautiful.
