FROM THE FARM
TO THE CITY

Whiskey Thief NuLu offers the same “thieving from the barrel” experience as our 12+ year-old Franklin County distillery, offering every guest the opportunity to taste 5 single-barrel Bourbons and whiskies, and fill their own bottle straight from the barrel, at barrel strength. In addition, we offer cocktails, live music, and a small gift shop.
