Your guide will be a distiller, which I learned more than I ever thought I would. 2 the drinks are fantastic, and to top it off, they have great pizza. Most distilleries don’t offer food of any kind. If you want to learn about bourbon, and have good company, and food. Look no further.Posted on Google Kelly LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great afternoon trip! Pizza and drinks were very good. We were glad they had. Agluten-free option. Owner was great and accommodating when we showed up on the wrong day for our tour.Posted on Google Josh TulkinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly staff, educational distillery tour.Posted on Google Jenn LopezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stopped here on our way to Louisville and wished we had had more time to hang out! They had a great selection of cocktails along with their bourbon tastings. They serve pizzas as well, so a great stop for a snack on our road trip. The patio on the side is dog friendly with plenty of shade and seats.Posted on Google Bry BachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great spot to taste some bourbon and snack on some pizza! We are from out of town and our way to Nashville and wanted to find a spot to try some KY Bourbon. This is a great spot just a few minutes off the interstate, not navigating too far off our trip. Staff is very welcoming, easy to order, and comforting environment. Also, if you aren’t a bourbon gal like me- don’t worry they have a delicious sweet peach lemonade with liqueur in it for us😉Posted on Google Doug DizgunTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
