Vermont-based WhistlePig Whiskey is moving into Bourbon country, taking over a historic bank space on E. Market Street in downtown Louisville around the corner from Louisville Slugger Field.
Called the “PiggyBank,” plans for the space include a “big pig bar” that will offer exclusive tastings of WhiskeyPig’s expressions, with the former bank’s vault becoming home to a collection of whiskeys.
Formerly home to the Bankshot Billiards pool hall, the space historically housed a branch of the German Security Bank. The 7,600-sqft Greek-revival building was constructed out of limestone in 1911 and once featured an ornate ceiling, marble interiors, and grand chandeliers.
The WhistlePig PiggyBank will oink open this spring.
