We were in Kentucky for a Midwest/Southern reunion with friends after flying in from San Diego, and…read morevisiting the bourbon distilleries around Bardstown was one of the highlights of the trip. Out of all of them, Willett ended up being our favorite. We had Michael as our tour guide, and he was fantastic. The tour felt a little different from the others because we got to taste different bourbons throughout the tour instead of all at once at the end. Michael was gregarious, funny, and a great storyteller. He kept everyone engaged while sharing the history of the distillery, the bourbon-making process, and plenty of entertaining stories along the way. One of my favorite parts was seeing all of the photos of the distillery cats at the beginning of the tour. As cat lovers, we absolutely loved that. This distillery has clearly been blessed by some very cute feline employees! We enjoyed tasting the different bourbons, and while the gift shop wasn't huge, it had some really unique items. We even brought home a catnip toy for our two kitties. If you're visiting the Bardstown area, I highly recommend adding Willett to your list. It was easily our favorite distillery experience of the trip.

Lux Row was a distillery we hadn't really heard of before our trip, but someone recommended it, and…read morewe're so glad we stopped by. It ended up being a really enjoyable tour. One of the highlights was the delicious welcome cocktail they served at the beginning--it was a fun way to kick things off. Since we visited during the summer, the distillery wasn't actively producing bourbon, but our tour guide still did a great job explaining the process and sharing the history of the distillery. The gift shop was also worth checking out. They carry several different bourbon brands, including Penelope Bourbon, so there was a nice variety to browse instead of just a few labels. Overall, it was a well-run tour with friendly staff and a beautiful facility. I'd definitely recommend adding Lux Row to your Bourbon Trail itinerary.

This distillery in the middle of Bardstown is a relative newcomer, opening circa 2019. Its located…read moreon a large rolling plot of land, featuring a pleasant one car-width drive up to the parking lot and the supersized barn-style visitor center. 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.

Parking lot is gravel and there is a small bump up to the inclined concrete pathway. Aside from the gravel and ramp it is accessible. The farm tour may not be.

The rye and the old man winter were my favorites of the flight. Because this is a craft distillery the bottles are a little more expensive in the gift shop.

While most of the distilleries sit apart from each other, they each hold their unique story and background.

As with most tastings, they do offer something for everyone and our tour guide did such an amazing job describing each of the whiskey while keeping us all engaged!

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.

We was also at the bottling facility which. Was nice, but we thought it was going to be at the actual distillery. This isn't their fault, it's the fault of the tour which booked it. 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. The person doing our tasting seemed annoyed and wasn't very friendly. If you do go to four roses make sure it's the actual distillery because it's very pretty.
