James E. Pepper Distillery offers a unique experience with knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guides who share the rich history of the distillery. Located in a revitalized area with nearby restaurants, the tour provides multiple samples, including the high wine and a taste of moonshine, and ends with a hands-on experience. Visitors can also enjoy expertly crafted old fashioneds at the bar.
The female staff members provide excellent service and give very informative details about bourbon, making the tour both intimate and insightful. The distillery is a beautiful place, and the guides, like Kira, have clear voices and concise scripts, explaining the uniqueness of bourbon with simple ABC qualities. Beyond the distillery, the surrounding Distillery District is a vibrant hub, featuring spots like Goodfellas Pizzeria and Crank & Boom for a sweet treat.
James E. Pepper Distillery is more than just a place to taste exceptional bourbon—it’s a destination that celebrates Kentucky’s rich heritage. Highly recommended for history buffs, whiskey enthusiasts, and anyone looking to experience the soul of Lexington.
