I always enjoy stopping here. The old fashions are great. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. My one dig. Bring back the darn single barrel ryes!
Great staff, we went in last minute and they were able to accommodate us on the next tour.
We loved our experience on a tour of the James E. Pepper Distillery! Great bourbon, excellent stories, and a unique look at the process in which the bourbon is made. Highly recommend for someone looking for an under-the-radar bourbon distillery tour!
