Proceeds from bookings will be donated to the Center for Women and Families, a non-profit that helps women and families in Louisville in crisis by providing housing, support and safety from domestic violence.

We are so grateful to Old Forester for this generous donation and the strong message it sends about the importance of the community supporting the critical work The Center is doing every day to help individuals and families in situations that threaten their safety and well-being.

Domestic violence deaths have been increasing in our area, and there is a greater need for our services than ever. The funding raised through this unique opportunity will help us continue to raise awareness about this crime and how to seek help, answer our crisis line 24/7,  and provide safe housing and vital resources to aid our clients on their journey from victims to courageous survivors.

The Sleepeasy was announced today as Old Forester celebrated the newest release in its acclaimed 117 series – Warehouse H bourbon.

Elizabeth Wessels-Martin, president and CEO of The Center for Women and Families

Warehouse H is symbolic of Old Forester’s growth after WWII. Construction on the brick warehouse began in 1946, housing 50,000 barrels. The 4 story, 8 chamber warehouse was designed to be heat cycled in the winter months when temperatures dropped below 60 degrees and the maturation process ceased. Warehouse H is unusual in its heat cycling profile with the 1st floor sometimes hitting the highest temperatures. 

Customers staying in the Sleepeasy get the opportunity to purchase Warehouse H, along with other rare bourbons.

Sleepeasy Booking Terms:

  • Guests must be 21 or over
  • Limit of two people (the apartment  has a queen bed that sleeps two) 
  • Bookings are available from March 1 – April 2, 2023. 
  • Three-night minimum at $500 per night. Guests may book up to five nights.

All proceeds will be donated to the Center for Women and Families. To make your reservation between March 1 – April 2, 2023, click HERE.
