Connor war a great tour guide and bartender. One of the best distillery tours I’ve ever done and I’ve been all over Europe. A bunch of great history and we got to taste a ton of different liquors. 10/10
Friendly, helpful people! Bourbon!
This is my favorite tour in town! I feel like it is the best one to get a perfect snapshot of Kentucky history, women’s history, and bourbon history all in one with everything you could ask for from a distillery tour. The drinks were excellent and my tour guide. Connor was a fabulous guide and so knowledgeable. I take my friends and family here every time and will continue to do so.
