I loved learning about the process it takes to make bourbon and how Wilderness Trail got started and differentiated itself from other brands. The tasting at the end was delicious (don't forget to go back to the main lobby and get your bourbon ball) and there was a bar where you could grab a drink and cozy up by the fireplace and watch a game. We had a great time and this was one of my favorite distilleries to visit.

The grounds include some very old, well-seasoned buildings, and our tour guide gave us all the details. She was personable and knowledgeable, though it was hard to hear her at times, it's worth grabbing a spot up front if you can. What's really cool is that you get to view a working distillery in progress! This isn't some museum, it's the real facility. The "Path to Flavor" is well worth the price, particularly with the informed tasting at the end. If you ever make it on the Bourbon Trail, try this place.

Our tour guide did a great job sharing the history of the distillery and explaining the different bourbon flavor profiles during the tasting.

One of my favorite parts was the welcome cocktail at the beginning--it was really tasty and a fun way to kick off the tour. The tasting itself was well done, and the staff throughout the distillery were friendly and welcoming. The gift shop is also worth checking out. It's one of the larger ones we've visited, with lots of bourbon, merchandise, and unique goodies to browse. Overall, another great experience, and I'd definitely recommend stopping here if you're touring the Bourbon Trail.

I loved that they teach you about the different mashbills and how to tell which is which on their bottles.
