Lux Row was a distillery we hadn't really heard of before our trip, but someone recommended it, and we'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. read more

This distillery in the middle of Bardstown is a relative newcomer, opening circa 2019. Its located on 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. read more

Lux Row was our final stop on the trail and we were with Jasmine for our private tasting. Our group was a little rowdy on this stop and Jasmine handled us like a champ. The sit down tasting we did was great - with several tastings paired with chocolates too. Overall it was a good time, and their distillery grounds are beautiful. read more

This is a must stop on your bourbon journey in Bardstown. Beautiful gift shop, grounds and tasting room. You get a wonderful old fashion cocktail when you walk in the door to take on your tour. Our guide Roma was educational and really fun. You get to see the whole process just like other tours but it felt really personal and custom to our group. Wonderful experience. Tastings were all delicious. You also get 3 chocolates to pair with certain whiskey to enhance the flavors. Cheers everyone this is a wonderful experience. read more

Our visit to Lux Row was great. We did the tasting and tour where our group was smaller but it was nice since we could ask questions and get to know one another. They have a shop at the front to buy the bourbon you like. To me, this was unfamiliar bourbon in Bardstown that I was glad I was able to try. read more

I visited Lux Row on a tour on December 13th, which also happened to be the same day as their Holiday Event - despite this, they were more than willing to accomodate my tour. We got a welcome drink, a video and a tour through the production area, the Rickhouse and the stone house over the course of an hour and a half. Our tour guide (Dakota) was absolutely incredible and knowledgable and made the entire experience both informative and fun! The entire staff at Lux Row was very accomodating and definitely showed they really appreciated and understood the Bourbon industry. I never felt like we were just another tour group - the entire experience felt very catered, and the ambiance of the Christmas distillery tour was on point. We got to taste some incredible bourbons as well! Were they all my favorites? No, but that's the point of getting taste the different options, and Lux Row laid out their options in a way that could appeal to those who like less of a Kentucky hug, and those who prefer the "I'm going to punch you in the face" type of Kentucky hug. I will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in to Lux Row to check out the gift shop. Ended up staying around to try a drink at the bar. Loved the Apple Jack Fizz drink. Love the bar set up - it's very inviting and the bartender was fantastic. His drinks were spot on perfect, and his knowledge of the Lux Row products was great. read more

This is my second time visiting Lux Row but my first time doing one of their tours. My first visit, we got drinks and hung out on their comfy patio which was a perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon. The tour however was fun- they took you through the distillery, you got to sample the distillers beer (fermented mash) as well as the white lightning which is always fun. They gave samples of their different bourbons throughout the tour which was nice too (one of which was right from a barrel!). Our guide was very friendly as well. read more

Liked the grounds, tasting room, tasting experience, merch and overall experience. The bourbon itself wasn't quite our speed. I'd recommend coming here first and then going to Limestone. We went to Limestone first and missed out on the free flight. Saving it for next visit. read more

We scheduled multiple bourbon tours and tastings on our vacation weekend, and all rated this the best overall tour (Buffalo Trace a very close second). From the trip through the distillery to the tasting where we got to keep our bourbon glass, first rate all the way. read more

Lux Row is a must distillery tour. I wasn't as familiar with their products except sister products, Penelope bourbon. It's always great to learn something new. We did the tour and added on an additional pour and cocktail. Our additional pour was my absolute fav, Lux Row 12 year. It's on my list to purchase. The tour was mainly indoors and great information shared. We got a sample during the tour of Rye via whiskey theif, four at the tasting, and another free one at the bar. With the add ons, we got to keep our rock glass and mini glencaryn. Beautiful grounds! read more

The front desk service were not very welcoming. It was not busy and we just wanted a tasting. The girls simply said you can get a flight in the bar area. No real direction or offer to get tasting with tour until I returned to the desk to ask about a guided tasting. Then they explained that the distillery has opted to not do guided tasting this year but if we did a tour then they have a tasting along the way. Which sounded interesting but since they didn't seem interested in promoting it we decided to get flights. One small batch one Penelope and one Stave finished. They were good but without any real direction we opted not to buy anything. Maybe it was a bad day for them. read more

It was great visit and staff was amazing. I recommend Lux Row to all who visit Bardston.

Lux row is an amazing distillery and we had an amazing tour here. We started off in their gift shop where they have bourbon you can only get here. Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. This tour was for sure one of my favorites because in one of the rick house they have/had a barrel of a 128.7 proof rye that we got to try straight from the barrel. This I think is one of the coolest parts of any tour there is. We then had our tasting and tried 4 more bourbons. I spend $10 more when booking the tour and this got us a mini glencairn glass which we got to keep and and extra pour of one of their bourbon that you can get here (It was also my favorite of the tasting). Make sure you stop by here and get a tour. read more

Lux Row Distillers - Our tasting and chocolates. - Distilleries Near Me - Bardstown, Kentucky

This was our last distillery tour of the day and as a non bourbon drinker I was not eager to do another tour, however Lux Row did a great job! They gave a lot of information you hear at every tour but also history on the land and buildings. Our tour guide was new but very knowledgeable and had a great personality for giving tours. The tasting at the end was a good one according to my husband and paying for the extra pour was worth it. I personally really liked the chocolates with the dark chocolate being everyone in our groups favorite. read more

Lux Row Distillers - It's 5PM somewhere, but it's FLIGHT TIME here at Lux Row! - Distilleries Near Me - Bardstown, Kentucky

Beautiful facility, very spacious and welcoming. We did their regular tour of the distillery, rickhouse, and tasting at the end. They fill about one barrel every minute and a half that we got to see. The rickhouse was awesome and smelled incredible. I loved how big it was. We got to taste some of the bourbon theived from inside the barrel and they had a photo opp for people on the tour as well. Fun tasting at the end with some different bourbons I haven't had before. read more

We stopped here on our trip to Bardstown Kentucky. We did not eat here but the restaurant looked nice and the food looked good. We did not have time for the Bourbon tour since we had a appointment in Bardstown. We visited the gift shop and want to come back to eat and do the tour. read more

Lux is luxury for Bourbon connoisseurs! The facility is absolutely gorgeous. They have an indoor and outdoor seating area. The staff were attentive and informative. I'm only giving this 4 stars because they were fully booked for tastings due to numerous tour busses. We're visiting for the weekend, and it would be helpful if you have an area dedicated to smaller parties. We opted to go to the bar to order a drink and learned we get to keep the glass! The Crangria was absolutely perfect! Hints of cinnamon, Cranberry, and cider. None of the mixers overpowered the Bourbon. The Sweater Weather was cinnamon heavy, but decent. The pear was a nice addition, but you couldn't really taste the rye. read more

We did the tasting tour here and had a decent time. We were brought into a separate room and had a flight of 5 different items to try out. We were also given certain chocolate pieces to help cleanse our pallette. It was good to be able to try the different bourbons. We also got a chance to thieve our own drink, which was pretty cool. read more

While making last second plans for a short trip to Bardstown in late August I was left with almost no opportunities for distillery tours. Luckily Lux had availability a few hours before. Booking was easily done online. The gift shop has mostly bourbon for sale and they did offer a few of their top notch juice like Rebel 10 and Lux Row there 12 year bourbon. After a short introduction of a nice film we left for around a 30 minute tour. We saw the cookers and even got the chance to taste the mash which I did. Not bad. We saw the barreling operation, a Rickhouse and more. The end of the tour is reserved for tasting Lux products. I had a great tasting of some Premium juice that was not expected. The entire tour and tasting was approximately 60 minutes. The guide Caleb was a highlight. I would recommend a Lux Distillery tour and also suggest a purchase of their products which I have enjoyed. Look for continued expansion by Lux & Co. read more

We had a nice visit this past summer to Lux Row Distillery. The tour started out viewing their distillery process and then headed up the hill to a rickhouse. It's always fun going inside a rickhouse, being surrounded with hundreds of barrels stacked high into the sky. The tour ended with a tasting of some of their flagship whiskies. One of their high end bourbons is the Blood Oath series, which is not on the tasting menu, it also sells out quick when it hits the shelf. Inquiring with the staff might give you some insight into this elusive bourbon. read more

Very good experience. Our tour guide was great and our group really liked having a sample of different product at stops throughout the tour.

We did the Single Barrel Series tour @ Lux Row with Stevie and it was one of the highlights of our week on the Bourbon Trail. The tour was very up close and personal. We added this tour as a "let's give it a try" filler. But we were blown away at how well the tour was. read more

Aa far as tours and tastings go, this has to be up there in terms of value. You get to see the distillery, a rickhouse and several other stops. And the tasting gives you a mix of offerings including some of their higher end boubons or rye whiskeys.
