It increases the closer you get to distilleries. This is a natural byproduct of the distilling and aging process. The bourbon evaporants feed this process, and we call it “The Angel’s Share”, hence the name of our place! As a result, many rickhouses are painted black to avoid being unsightly and you will undoubtedly smell the yeasty oak enhanced aroma in the air outside while in the Bourbon Capital. We take extensive efforts to regularly wash the exterior of our property but as it is a natural process, it may appear more or less during various seasons.
