Great tasting bourbon experience.

Courtney was awesome in giving us a great overview of the distilling process and explaining the tasting differences. We are not big bourbon drinkers but it was interesting and we learned alot. Thanks Paul

Loved it!

Great tour! Val, the tasting room manager, was awesome and super knowledgable. They're making (and blending) some great whiskeys. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!
