Great tour and even better hospitality! Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. We love when distilleries do a progressive tasting throughout the tour. The entire property was beautiful and full of history. They've got a great bar/gift shop that we definitely want to make it back to soon for a drink. Highly recommend checking Bluegrass Distillers out! read more

This young distillery is located off the main road but there are signs to help guide you up to the mansion and distillery. Driving up to the mansion gives old school NOLA plantation vibes. The tour check in is located in the mansion. The tour starts there as well with a bit of history of the distillery and property and a tasting of two different bourbons. It continues next store in the distillery with two more tastings along the way. We had an energetic and knowledgeable guide all to ourselves because we were there midday on a Thursday. She answered all of our questions and, due to her overall knowledge of Kentucky bourbon, helped to put perspective on their products. For the few offerings they have, they are quite diverse. But I want to return for when they have the pickled bourbon back in stock (crossing fingers it's over the holidays)! read more

Being one of the smaller craft distilleries around made Bluegrass Distillers even more appealing to us--and it did not disappoint. Our visit started in the main house with a guided tasting. Our host was outstanding, walking us through each pour with knowledge and precision while sharing the history of both the house and the distillery. After sampling several bourbons, we took some time to explore the house before heading over to the gift shop. My wife and her friend found more than a few must-haves, especially after enjoying a couple of drinks at the bar. All in all, Bluegrass Distillers is an excellent addition to Kentucky's bourbon scene and well worth the visit. read more

We really enjoyed our afternoon learning about the blue corn bourbon and the Elkhorn historic home at Bluegrass. Greg was very knowledgeable and really spent time with us at our tasting. This is a great local distillery and has a cute comfortable bar that we really enjoyed on a rainy Kentucky day. read more

Tom was our tour guide. He was super knowledgeable and had a lot of great advice for bourbon drinkers regarding sipping techniques and flavor notes. We truly enjoyed our trip to Elkwood Farm. We visited the downtown location (closed in June '25) several times and Bluegrass Distillers NEVER disappoints. Highly recommend your next stop on your Bourbon adventure is Bluegrass. read more

Attended the Bluegrass Trust July D'tour last night. It is likely you've passed this historical property while traveling Leestown Road, not knowing it is there. Elkwood Farm, circa mid 1830's, is now the home of Bluegrass Distillers. A sojourn into Kentucky history, I recommend a visit. 57 read more

Wow! Had a fun time here tasting some delicious new bourbon! The host was gracious, polite, and very entertaining! We got a lot of the interesting history of the site along with the history of the company, and future plans to include a cool tour on the property! Too bad we missed that, but it is a reason to come back! Had a great time here! read more

Elkwood farm is the new home of Bluegrass Distillers. It is located in beautiful rolling hills outside the picturesque town of Midway. The farm has a mansion from built in the 1830's. There are big plans for this property including a cafe and gardens. Right now the distillery is getting finishing touches and the mansion is being refurbished. Scott, our tasting guide did an exceptional job of giving us the history of the property and of Bluegrass bourbons. Definitely worth a stop. read more

The tour and tasting was great but the best part of all was being able to fill my own bottle directly from a barrel with some of the best bourbon around even got to put on my own label seal it and sign it. read more

This might our new favorite interactive bourbon tour in KY and definitely our favorite welcome from Tipsy the cat living in the historical registered house. This Midway, KY gem just recently FULLY opened this beautiful location and you have the chance to bottle your own bourbon right from the barrel. You put on the label with barrel number, proof and bottle number - all for no extra cost. We took the Bluegrass Tour which included multiple tastings. They were all very friendly and they have lots of ideas on how they might expand in the future. We will be back! read more

We have been to Bluegrass several times at their original location and always had a great experience. We were excited today to visit the new location. We were greeted by a sign saying they were out on a tour and to go to the gift shop. We found our way to the gift shop not knowing where we were going at this new location on a cold day. We found the gift shop and it was empty. We waited 15 minutes sitting at the bar as we could hear people in the distillery. When a gentleman finally came in with 2 people on the tour he looked upset that the 6 people in our group were sitting there. He did not want to help us with a cocktail, tasting or merchandise purchase so we left. Very disappointing from a place we have always loved. read more
