Bourbon Barrel Foods - Eat Your Bourbon!
Located in Louisville's historic Butchertown Market, Bourbon Barrel Foods produces a collection of all-natural, award winning gourmet foods that embrace the history and mystique of Kentucky’s Bourbon Country.
All of their items are handcrafted in small batches in Louisville, Kentucky. Using reclaimed barrels straight from Kentucky’s finest bourbon distilleries as both a smoking and aging agent. The process imparts an added dimension of flavor that cannot be replicated using any other method.
Bourbon Barrel Foods began as a soy sauce microbrewery. Matt Jamie, founder, and owner taught himself the art of soy sauce brewing by researching online, followed by many hours of trial and error. The final result is the Bluegrass Soy Sauce, inspired by Kentucky’s nickname, “The Bluegrass State.”
Their signature product, Bluegrass Soy Sauce, is the only microbrewed soy sauce made in the United States and the ONLY soy sauce in the world fermented and aged in bourbon barrels.
In 2012, Bourbon Barrel Foods partnered with Woodford Reserve® to create a cocktail and culinary line. With the addition of the Bourbon Barrel Aged Cocktail Bitters, Bourbon Cherries and Bourbon Smoked Spice Blends, the Woodford Reserve® items expanded their reach to enthusiasts of this iconic brand.
With the popularity of bourbon continuing to increase, Bourbon Barrel Foods has championed the idea of combining the Kentucky Bourbon Industry with the local food movement. Their “EAT YOUR BOURBON” slogan embodies this idea and has catapulted many of our products to the forefront of the culinary scene.
