We had heard great things about Heaven Hill's You Do Bourbon experience which is not so much a tour and more of an interactive tasting and session about the distillery which ends in the option to bottle and personalize your own.
Our docent was very knowledgeable and fun. She was engaging with everyone and I'm very curious about her life stories as her grandfather was a moonshiner.
The tasting consisted of 4 different barrel proof products that Heaven Hill offers specifically for this experience so these selections are not available for purchase outside of it, to my knowledge. My wife chose the Larceny Barrel Proof and I chose the Select Stock Barrel Proof. Keep in mind that the pricing of the bottles are different and are in addition to the cost of the experience. Another way someone put it was that you are paying a fee to be able to purchase a special bottle. The bottling was neat and fun and we even got to take a look at the lab after for some fun little activities.
Heaven Hill was a great experience and next time we come back, we'll have to try the restaurant that's upstairs. I missed out on their somewhat daily release so that's something to look out for as well. read more
