Well planned tour, and especially the cooperage section. Tasting were great as well. Highly recommend this distillery tour!

Had an awesome experience with Barb doing a Barrel Select. Glorious setting and super impressed with the process and treatment. These folks do it right and they have some of the best bourbon around!

By far our favorite distillery tour while in Louisville!!! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time and that all of our questions were answered. It was really great to see the process while it was Actually operating. The tasting room was delicious!!! We also toured Angel’s Envy and Evan Williams, and neither were anywhere close to being as good as this one. Highly recommend this tour if you are in Louisville!!!

I had the opportunity to tour Old Forester in Louisville, KY, last Saturday. The guide was great and I learned a lot about Old Forester. And the selection for the tasting was well chosen.

We were welcomed right away - our tour guide, Logan, was informative and engaging - I loved being able to see the copperage and Kendrick was amazing. I highly recommend visiting.

Carter did an amazing job! The whole experience was great, from the distillery to the tasting. We loved the candy and bought some at the gift shop.

Best distillery tour in Louisville, best bourbon, reasonable prices on everything and the marshmallow things are ridiculousness- so GD good

Thomas Schmidt

We really enjoyed the tour and Carter (our tour guide) made it fun and interesting. Lidia (and another person whose name I can't remember) in the gift were most helpful.

First tour of our bourbon trail visit. Rachel was wonderful. Been on three tours since, Old Forester was the best tour of them all with the most knowledgeable staff.

Great tour guide, very informative, and the tastings were fantastic. Highlight was the barrel making. I would highly recommend a visit to Old Forester Distillery.

It’s was a good tour. Loved to barrel making demonstration. Overall felt too curated with a limited tasting for the price. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good experience. If you’re in town take the tour!

This was a really good hands on, well guided, and comprehensive tour from Fermentation to Bottling with a good tasting at the end of the Tour. Loved the Barrel Toasting.

One suggestion, and the reason I took a star off, I don't understand why the Distillery Store charges more than what you can find the bottle priced at your local Total Wine and More Store? Shouldn't it be cheaper as you are saving transportation and the mark up of the middle men?

If you've ever been to the Buffalo Trace Distillery Store, Bourbon is flying off the shelves as they offer a good value. Should be a lesson learned there.

Great tour covering Louisville's whiskey history and distilling process including barrel charring. Bonus: the gift shop was offering a great expression (1910 Extra Extra Old) only available at the distillery.

I went on a tour with my wife for my birthday. I enjoyed learning the history, seeing the process, and doing a tasting. My wife really liked their lavender lemonade mocktail at their bar downstairs.
