The Bar at Willett: More Than Just a Bar

The Bar at Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky serves up
more than just neat pours and classic cocktails. It’s also a
gourmet-quality restaurant, as proven by its 2025 James Beard
Awards nomination. We’ll talk with general manager and beverage
director Andy Pope on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the

Trump imposed import tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico,
which will make Canadian Whisky more expensive. Canadian and
Mexican leaders responded with tariffs of their own targeting
Bourbon and other American whiskies, and we’ll have all of the
details.
