11am and the bar just opened :D

I guess I should unpack first

Enjoy downtown. It's a pretty gross day today, weather-wise, but tomorrow should be quite a bit nicer.

JapesUK Apr 25, 2025 9:33 am

Unpacked, let festivities begin

99 proof so a bit of a burn, decent taste, a good start to the day.

Round two

First things first, sort my life out and get ready for the day ahead and after that maybe breakfast. I didn’t include it in the room rate so let’s see how much it is!

we will be leaving at roughly 9am so I have an hour and three quarters to get the day started.

Hilton Diamond should give you a credit in the US for breakfast

It kind of did, $15 F&B credit which I spent on an old fashioned :D

At the bartender recommendation we’ve moseyed on over to Evergreen Liquors which has a tasting bar

Wow, a few favorites in there. Twice-barreled JD is a nice one (look at you, drinking rye!)and the Old Forester Birthday Bourbon is a very nice drink. Hard to find bourbons are... still quite hard to find in Kentucky in stores, unfortunately. I see both Moxy and the other bar has a few Peerless bottles, those are worth a try.

The birthday almost blew the head of us lightweight brits, same with the peerless toasted. Favourites today, Me, the papy, Steve: the JD twice distilled, Sheldon: the frank august

If you ever come through my neck of the woods I’ll offer you a pour of some of the 15 and 20 year Pappy, they’re fantastic. Love a wheated bourbon!

Steve is somewhat peeved that although they had the Twice barrelled JD at the bar but not on the shelves.

JapesUK I think you are going to need a second suitcase for more bottles :)
