We also got to look at the special whiskey library which was neat (pun not intended). We stayed for lunch and it was somehow / possibly even better than the whiskey!! Will was our server and he was the man! Soo attentive and friendly (give this man a raise!). We shared some apps - the chicken egg rolls and Brussel sprouts. For my main I got the Chef special which was the gumbo.. so good.

Interestingly, this tour started on a high note--with the tasting first, which was a great way to…read morekick things off. Greg did an excellent job walking us through how to properly smell and taste the bourbon, which really set the tone for the rest of the experience. The flow of the tour was very well thought out. One standout detail was the use of headsets--something more distilleries should do--because you could actually hear everything clearly no matter where you were standing. Small thing, but it made a big difference. I also really appreciated the mat placed over the grates. As someone who isn't a fan of heights, that thoughtful touch made the experience much more comfortable. A highlight was the stop at the rickhouse, especially the owner's private room with the Versace table--definitely a unique touch. Getting to thief straight from the barrel was a fantastic experience and really capped things off. Overall, very well done and a memorable visit.

Rest assured that you exit on a different road, so you'll see no cars trying to run you off on your approach. Worth a stop if you are in town. The structure has two rooms, a gift shop and a tasting room. We skipped a tour (we've been on so many) and headed to the bar. Kelly had a cocktail and I had a flight of Penelope, 1 rye and 2 bourbons. They were solid pours for $17, and I had a decent buzz when I left - the bourbons were 104 and 114 proof, as is the style these days. I especially liked the rye, smooth and spicy. The Architect bourbon was hotter than the barrel proof but both were still good. Lux Row also makes Remus, and the 6 year high rye bourbon is superb - a full bodied, easy drinking pour. If you live in Illnois, its often on sale at Binny's.

Just delicious and a great spin on a classic cocktail. Our guide Lindsey was awesome. Very interactive, witty and funny. She made the entire experience better. You get pours along the way which is better than just a full tasting at the end. Bonus gift, you get a land-yard with a mini tasting glass attached. It was so nice to have.

It was a gift shop where we arrived and then were taken to the tasting room. It was nice and I wasn't too impressed with the bourbon.
