The Blind Pig is a great shop focused on bourbon. The owner is knowledgeable about every bottle in there and can help you find the ideal gift or bottle for yourself. Many bottles are hard to find, and/or sold only in Kentucky. Great prices with expert advice. Can’t beat the one stop shop for bourbon in Bardstown. We will be back.
