Tom, our tour/tasting guide was incredibly knowledgeable and informative! Enjoyed every minute! We could tell he really enjoyed sharing his knowledge, and interacting with his guests. Being given the opportunity to sample their brewed products, in addition to their distilled products, puts a delightfully different spin on this tour. THANKS AGAIN TOM!!! Your tour was awesome! - Much Love from Birmingham, Alabama

Solid little tour and tasting experience.

Mid-sized distillery with a well-curated visitor center meets class clown tour guide. The tour starts in what is a highly themed visitor center. They have put a lot into the bar and gift shop, much to see without going on the tour. Not the largest visitor center, but it is better than the big guys: Woodford, Four Roses, Makers, you get the idea. This is a mid-sized distillery that also has the Kentucky Bourbon Ale beer line. More time is spent on beer than anything else. They are a brewery that also makes bourbon. In most respects they should not be on the trail. Small production bourbon distillery similar to Jeffersons. Tour ends with a bourbon tasting near the tanks and still. Again, it's a very nice building. Here's the thing: our guide Stephen thinks he's a lot more funny and entertaining than he is. In a world of college guys who try way too hard to get the girl's attention, Stephen is exactly the same with every woman on the tour. His behavior was obnoxious and borderline inappropriate. The longer the tour went the more obnoxious he became. By the time we reached the tasting he was all but trying to get numbers from the women on the tour who were more than double his age, he is that guy. Their bourbon was ok, and might have made my shelf as a daily mid-tier bottle. However, based on the tour, I will steer clear of the Town Branch line and recommend others do the same.

This is the first brewery/distillery tour I have ever been on. We enjoyed the whole experience!! The history, the process and the tour guide were all great. I would recommend visiting and it will cost you little time and money (unless you stock up on their products lol).

Hidden Gem for Craft Beer Enthusiasts!I stumbled upon this hidden gem during a tasting spree yesterday, and I must say, it completely stole the show! Nestled amidst various distilleries, this quaint spot managed to stand out with its exceptional offerings.From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Despite its small size, the place exuded charm and warmth.Now, let's talk about the star of the show - their milk stout. As a devoted fan of this particular brew, I can confidently say that theirs was the best I've ever tasted! Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, it was an absolute delight for my taste buds.But that's not all; their coffee drink was equally impressive. Perfectly brewed and bursting with aroma, it left me craving for more.The only downside? They don't ship to Los Angeles. However, I'm not leaving empty-handed! I'm definitely snagging a bottle (or two) to savor the memories of this delightful experience back home.If you're a craft beer aficionado in search of something truly special, look no further than this charming establishment. Trust me; you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic tour of a legendary brewery and a distillery with rich heritage. Tasting tour included four samples of any of their beers or spirits, including an incredible 12 year Irish whiskey.Tour guide, John, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. The facilities were fascinating, especially how they actually explained the similarities and differences between spirits and beer.A must see on the bourbon trail.

The tour was really informative and Derek was very knowledgeable of both beer and whiskey. Not every day you get a mix of beer, bourbon, and irish whiskey all in one tour!
