Private Breakfast & Single-Barrel Bourbon Tasting with Founder at Uncle Boojie's

Breakfast with our Founder at Uncle Boojie's Disillery Co. in Louisville, Kentucky, is a brisk, private way to begin a day in Bourbon Country. For 90 minutes guests in groups of four to twelve gather in the Homeplace for a hearty Kentucky breakfast—bacon, egg & cheese biscuits, bourbon‑glazed donuts, crispy tater tots and hot coffee—before stepping into a private Single Barrel Sensory Tour led by founder Steve Smith.

The experience centers on four single-barrel tastings poured from bonded warehouse barrels, each one a study in charred American white oak, angel’s share, and the subtle mineral fingerprint of Kentucky’s limestone-filtered water. The tour blends hands-on tasting with approachable technical notes: how barrel char level, warehouse position and mash bill shape aroma, mouthfeel and finish. Guests handle their own keepsake tasting glass and may opt for a bottle signing with Steve to take a signed memory home.

Uncle Boojie's Disillery Co. sits in Louisville’s energetic craft spirits scene and stands out by pairing culinary comfort with focused barrel education. The bonded warehouse and sensory setup create an intimate classroom where stories move from grain to glass: local sourcing, cooperative distilling techniques, and the entrepreneurial backstory told by a founder who still leads tastings. That local lore—part family anecdote, part distilling craft—makes the visit more than a tasting; it’s a face-to-face with the people behind the label.

Practically, this is a private, reservation-only experience requiring a $1,000 minimum spend and a 20% automatic gratuity that applies to bottle sales, bar purchases and merchandise for the group. Guests must check in at the Homeplace and wear the wristband provided; the tour is ADA accessible with no stairs. The age limit is strictly 21+ for the bonded warehouse portions, though infants under six months are allowed as an exception. No pets (except service animals) or weapons; professional filming needs prior approval.

Why book it? Beyond sampling four distinct single barrels, you get a morning shaped by Southern hospitality and whiskey expertise—a compact, sociable deep-dive that pairs familiar comfort food with barrel-driven tasting notes. For visitors staying in Louisville or exploring the Bourbon Trail, this private breakfast tasting compresses a full distillery lesson into a convivial 90 minutes, complete with a signed bottle option and a tangible souvenir glass. It’s ideal for celebratory mornings, corporate groups, or anyone who wants to start a Kentucky day over good food and memorable whiskey stories. Plan to allow extra time for check-in: reservations are confirmed via QR code at arrival, and guests often linger afterward to browse the gift shop or continue tasting at the bar, which stays open. This compact, well-run experience is an efficient way to ground a Louisville visit in local flavor and distilled craft expertise.
