We had friends visiting for a long weekend and they wanted to do distillery tours. We chose three. All 6 of us rated Michters on the bottom of the three. This is not really a working distillery. What you see is a room with a small model of the mill, a few small fermenters (they did have mash in them) and a small still. You spend the time in this one room and the story felt very scripted where many tours let the guides make it their own. After about 30 minutes listening in this room, you go in for the tasting. The tasting is good with more than some distilleries offer. To me, this should just be a tasting experience where you might get 5 or 10 minutes of the Michters story. Also this is the only tour where the guide mentioned tipping (in an offhand way). That kind of bothered me.

We had a wonderful time. The tour was informative and the tastings were varied and plentiful. Bailee was our guide and was great! Jacqueline also helped to accommodate us for our visit, and was so very helpful. They both made us feel so welcome and were so attentive to our needs. They also arranged for us to the visit the bar, which you really should not miss. The vibe was perfect! Our server Nicole made great recommendations, and was provided excellent service.

Jacqueline and the entire Michter's family made us feel like home. I highly recommend going to do the tour, bottle fill (yes fill your personal bottle), and then visit the bar. Amazing time! we will do this again. Thank you Jacqueline!

This was a nice little tour. The whole tour takes place in one room, so not much walking if you have mobility issues. Then we entered an adjoining room for the tasting. Was shorter than some of the other distillery tours we did, but probably because it was small.

Plan ahead and get a reservation. The mixed drinks were wonderful. No food to order and you can’t bring in outside food so don’t go hungry. They do have some snacks for patrons. You are able to stay for a certain amount of time but it was plenty for two drinks. Staff were incredibly friendly. I had Go for the gold. It was very good.

Hands down, my favorite experience at the distilleries on The Row! Spectacular facility, kind and engaging staff, beautiful and immaculate bar. The bar experience really topped the day! Clean, no detail missed, the guest experience clearly put first. Not only were our drinks fantastic, but the bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable, and active .... Clearly passionate about their trade. Would absolutely come back when we're in Louisville.

I recently visited Michter’s while I was in Louisville. I didn’t do a distillery tour (next time), but instead opted to try a few cocktails on their second floor bar. First you have to check in with a staff member by the elevator. They get your name and number, and contact you when a spot opens up. I believe my wait was less than 10 minutes. After you go up the elevator, they take you to your seat. The bar is gorgeous, and the cocktails were literal works of art. I almost felt bad drinking them, but drink them I did and the three I had were all delicious. The bar staff were very friendly; and when I mentioned that I was also in the industry, they recommended a very cool local spot where they all hang out. I would definitely return to Michter’s, and would recommend it to anyone who has never been

The tour is great and the distillery is absolutely beautiful. We were able to participate in a private bottling lead by a very charismatic and entertaining gentleman named Ryan Creech. I highly recommend the Michters tour, everything from the amazing mixologists at the bar to the friendly staff make this a 5 star tour. Will be back for sure.

Michter's was a great visit! Rebecca was our tour guide and was awesome! She was informative, quick and funny and we enjoyed the entire experience. Michter's was not a brand I had experience with, and we learned a lot about their process and seeing a "downtown" location was unique. We sampled some great products and we are glad to have tried something we were not familiar with! I would go again if Rebecca could be our guide....

Excellent explanation and education of the bourbon making process and what makes Michter's exceptional and different. Tour includes seeing the actual equipment, bourbon making processes, and instructional aids to easily understand - including toasting and charring oak and why that matters. Includes 6 different tastings. Paige was pleasant, informative, answered questions and made the experience fun. Highly recommend when you visit Whiskey Row in Louisville!
