Butchertown Blues Fedora Felt Hat

BEHIND THE NAME

Louisville, Kentucky's known for two things — the Kentucky Derby and bourbon whiskey. In fact, there are dozens of bourbon distilleries in Louisville alone — more than 100 in the whole state.

So what makes the old Butchertown district of Louisville noteworthy? Well today, it's the home of Kentucky's only (and most un-bourbon) brandy distillery — Copper and Kings. But this modern paradox is only the latest in the neighborhood's history.

Unapologetically different, but similar in its early American boldness and originality, Butchertown developed out of a largely blue-collar immigrant population. It was a no-nonsense community that made its reputation from the hard-working attitude of its constituency.

Its reputation today hasn't much strayed, either.

Even amongst a sea of similar, it's the individual that stands out. Difficult though it may be, the path of divergence is often the one that stands the test of time.
