Old-fashioned bourbon, hot takes on spag bol and a new route from London are all reasons to visit historic Cincinnati — and did we mention the bourbon?

You don’t have to own a bootleg booze still to craft a personalized bourbon — just head to Wenzel Whiskey.

A Covington whiskey business has acquired a Georgia distillery to boost its own capabilities in Northern Kentucky.

Wenzel Whiskey acquired Ghost Coast Distillery and is using its assets to create a new facility adjacent to its Covington location.

Wenzel Whiskey is debuting its first bourbon bottles on Sept. 10 at 15 Tobacco Alley, the intersection of Tobacco and Electric alleys in Covington, in the first floor of the Pickle Factory Boutique Hotel.

Wenzel Whiskey, a new business aiming to revive Covington's bourbon industry, is opening its doors in early September.

On Sept. 10 at noon, Wenzel will be releasing 150 bottles of the first whiskey to be blended in Covington since Prohibition at their blending warehouse at 15 Tobacco Alley.
