Although this distillery charges for its tours, the location, buildings and friendly staff make the visit worthwhile. Do take time to sit out on the porch after the tour and savor the samples of this great bourbon.

I'll list what's great about this distillery first: Steve, our tour guide - knowledgeable and witty - head phones are provided and enable you to hear without background noise from factory. The grounds are lovely (a small shuttle bus takes you to the starting point of your tour), very pretty tasting room with information on the history and process of... More

My wife and I visited on our anniversary. Everyone was very friendly. The staff member giving the tasting even went to another room for samples of their " Double Oaked" when she learned we were from Florida and would not get a chance to try the product in our home state. We purchased a custom engraved bottle to memorialize the... More

We had a complete and very informative tour. Headphones were provided so we were able to hear everything and the lady guide was very good. Lunch items looked appetizing and well prepared though we didn't eat there. Certainly one of the best Bourbon Trail experiences.

The grounds and visitors center were absolutely beautiful and a pleasure to take in. The tour itself was a little dry. It was conducted over headsets - made it feel like a museum and not a fun bourbon tour like it should have. It seemed like the tour guide was just reading off a script and didn't really know anything... More

The drive to get here was beautiful. Black fenced horse pastures as far the eye could see. The property was beautiful and we really enjoyed the free sample of bourbon balls and whiskey.

Nice tour of the distillery, get a 1/2 shot of bourbon after (I didn't feel the need for a long dissertation on what exactly I would taste, so if you need this, you won't get it here) and a bourbon ball (chocolate and bourbon - hard to go wrong w/ this combo). We haven't been on any other distillery tours,... More

Historic buildings, fun, interesting tour, great guide, super bourbon. This was our 1st bourbon tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautiful countryside with picture perfect horse farms scattered through the rolling hills of KY.

This tour will cost you $5 but it's worth it. They give you head phones, transport you on a bus, give you a great deal of knowledge, and show an operation that makes one heck of a bourbon. It's amazing how much goes into producing the bottle you drink. I think it represents American craftsmanship at its finest. I know,... More
