The Angels Share, Bardstown on Kentucky Bourbon Trail
Bardstown, KY, United States
At this spacious bourbon-lover’s basecamp, you’ll be close enough to breathe in the angel’s share from the rickhouses at Barton 1792—but far enough to sleep soundly after a full day of tastings. Enjoy your coffee on the porch before heading to downtown Bardstown for the day (just a mile away). Back home, flip through curated bourbon reads, fire up the smokeless fire pit, and pour a flight to enjoy under the stars. A cozy, comfortable home base for enjoying the best of bourbon country.

Accessibility and Availability
Neighborhood
The neighborhood borders the property of the Barton 1792 distillery. The home itself has rickhouses right next door! This is your opportunity to stay in the area where the distillery workers have lived for decades...close to downtown and closer to the Bourbon Festival which is very safe and walkable from the property during good weather, and quiet enough to avoid the tourists if you like. As you enter Bardstown, and especially the neighborhood you will notice some buildings have a black “soot”…this is a byproduct of the distilleries and warehouses being so close- the evaporating bourbon “The Angel’s Share” feeds this phenomenon and only subsides with costly regular cleaning.
Guest Access
Guests have full access to the entire home, backyard, and driveway parking. Laundry and weather shelter located in the basement.
