Inside NULU Whiskey: Louisville Rickhouse Tour + Barrel Pick | Whiskey Library | Bourbon Mystery Box

I’m in Louisville, Kentucky for a full distillery tour + bourbon barrel pick at Prohibition Craft Spirits (home of NULU / “New Louisville” Whiskey) with owner Chase Hazelbaker.

We taste through a stack of barrels, break down what makes each one unique, and you’ll see the rickhouse pulls (yes… the forklift moments are insane). If you love distillery tours, barrel picks, and behind-the-scenes bourbon nerd stuff — you’re in the right place.
