There’s something historic going on downtown Louisville. Shimmering Vendome-made post stills are being set up at the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, Louisville’s first stop on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and the city’s first Main Street distiller in a long, long time.

I wrote a silly story about this amazing Bourbon Experience last month. But, I dropped the sarcasm and took my Nikon to go watch these historic stills be set up and learn what hid behind those walls for the past 50 years.
