I have Parkinson's am very shaky and I was very disrespected due the disability. I misunderstood a pint for a 1/2 pint I went back inside to question it all. The man was again rude, I wasn't good to help, someone else was there doing nothing I wasn't the the only one in the store at that time he was helping some delivery man. I was the only person in the store and I wasn't sure what I was doing and they were rude and I've lived in Lexington for 58 years. I've been coming to the liquor store on all my life and I have never ever had anyone be as rude and disrespectful for anyone with a disability and anyone that doesn't have the knowledge of liquor so you know, pardon me, Leestown liquor from now on I'll just go up to Kroger and have a good day

Free Friday tastings are 10/10- check out this week's pours on Instagram and pop in after work. Wine offerings change regularly and there's a great selection of both white and reds as well as some sparkling wines as well. The owner, Ally, is super sweet and well informed on her wares and always has good suggestions if wanted. Prices are very reasonable and you can get lots of options at the $10-15 mark. Also have discounts if you buy by the case! This is a great place to buy a bottle for a friend (and get yourself 5 more to get that 6 bottle discount). Highly recommend!

I've never walked into a liquor store before and thought what fun until now . They have a decent selection of whatever you're in the mood for . The prices to me are reasonable at least to me considering it is downtown.

Nestled away in the heart of Bluegrass horse country, this is a classic gem. Defined by elegant and…read morestylish classicalism, yet not overbearing, This place has an air of sophistication without pretension. The grounds are beautiful and expansive, stretched out under a big beautiful sky. Parking is ample. I attended with my wife and my son and his wife. We came to see a friend perform live jazz. We did a wine tasting. I was disappointed that the tasting only consisted of three offerings. It seemed a little shy for the price point. After the tasting, we settled on Afterglow, a very sweet wine. The four of us enjoyed our purchase while we sat at a picnic table in the courtyard and enjoyed the jazz. The wine prices themselves were very reasonable and the selection was robust. This proved to be a great place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. We will be back. This place gets five stars from me. (Still wish a tasting was four or five offerings instead of three.)

Had the pleasure of stopping by Talon Winery today during our trip through Kentucky and thought I'd…read moregive a quick recap for my fellow yelpers. The grounds are undeniably beautiful. The scenery, atmosphere, and overall property create a relaxing environment that feels very "Kentucky wine country." The staff was also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and wonderful with families and kids. The gift shop and tasting space itself functionally was not laid out in a way that made the experience especially easy or comfortable to enjoy. For those of you interested in tastings, there is nowhere comfortable to sit during the tasting process, unless you want to trade into plastic cups and head outside. This unintentionally created a rushed feeling, even though the staff themselves never pressured us. As for the wines, I tried the Cabernet Sauvignon, Equestrian Series, and Crimson Cabernet. I personally tend to lean towards drier, more robust wines, these felt fairly lackluster overall and lacked the depth and balance I personally look for in a wine that can either stand confidently on its own or pair beautifully with food. A few of the sweeter wines others in my group sampled came across far more grape-forward than expected and reminded me more of juice than a refined wine experience. (My overall impression was they paired more with $10 bottles than the prices that were asked) While the staff was clearly well-intentioned and friendly, the overall tasting experience lacked some of the seriousness, polish, and professionalism that you would expect from a true leader in the wine space. We had to request that glasses be emptied and cleaned between tastings, water was never offered between pours, and some of the finer details that elevate a winery experience simply felt overlooked. That said, this place has a lot of potential. Between the scenery, atmosphere, and welcoming team, I could absolutely see why Talon Winery would become a favorite spot for locals or visitors looking for a casual afternoon outing. However, for those looking for a polished, elevated "Napa-style" wine experience, this may not quite be the home run I had hoped it would be.

We appreciated that they were studying in a field that applied to whiskey production and thus were able to explain concepts and methods in a scientific way that might not come up on your typical distillery tour. The tour included some pleasantries that we did not encounter on other tours such as the bourbon ball and opportunity to taste white dog off the still. Other treats included tasting the mash, thieving straight from a barrel on the column still floor, sampling the different bourbons and overall touring of the historic building. The complimentary glasses were appreciated and the "original old fashioned" from the bar afterwards was a great way to wrap up the tour. Whether your first, last or only stop for a distillery tour, I would recommend this one for an all inclusive experience. Our guide absolutely earned our gratuity with the passion and knowledge they displayed. Do recommend!
