About Wild Turkey Distillery Visitor Center

The Wild Turkey Distillery Visitor Center is known for its temporary gift shop, where guests can meet the master distiller Jimmy Russell and purchase signed bottles of Russell Reserve. The cocktail bar offers a wide selection of the distillery's products, including the Russell Reserve 13 yo, and provides souvenirs. Visitors have enjoyed great tours, starting at the welcome center which has beautiful views from the back deck overlooking the river and two bridges below. Guests can hop on a bus to see various buildings along the way, and after the tour, they can return for a tasting. The tour guides, including Bo, have received praise for being informative and entertaining. The outdoor bar and seating area is a popular spot to enjoy an old fashioned while taking in the scenic view.

However, some visitors express frustration with the ongoing remodeling of the facility, which has led to the closure of the gift shop and tasting location, causing inconvenience for tourists. The lack of information regarding the reopening of the facility has also been a source of frustration. Some guests noted that the special master distiller bottle was not available during later tours, which they felt should have had access to the same bottles as earlier tours. Despite these issues, the distillery's products and staff continue to receive positive feedback. It is recommended for visitors to check the distillery's information channels for updates on the reopening of the visitor center. The campus is gorgeous and adds to the overall experience of the bourbon trail adventure.
