Excellent service and cocktails. Dallas was awesome.

Wait list to get in, which we did while waiting for a tour. Corn nuts and banana chips at bar. Didn't eat anything else.

On my trip to Louisville, I spent waaay too much time at Michter's both standing outside in line and in the brewery and upstairs pub. Let me just stay that the staff here is amazing and really made our visits a delight. We were intent on doing the BYO experience here, so we arrived at 9:00 am to get a good spot in line on our first day. Unfortunately the times didn't work out with our schedule the first day, but we made it work the following day. The tour was great and Jim our tour guide was super knowledgeable and passionate about the product. While we had a few members of our tour who indulged a bit too much earlier in the day, we still had a great time. The BYO was so fun and I can't wait to try the bourbon we bottled! The best part was pulling the lever and getting the bottle in such a cool box and custom label. We also tasted a flight of ryes in the upstairs pub, which was delightful and such a great way to end our day. If you are planning a Louisville visit, Micther's is a must do!

Well... had a reservation... was charged for a reservation... but we were not on the list! No drinks for you! Next! Seriously, fix your stupid reservation system and stop embarrassing your patrons for no good reason. Very disappointing to be treated so poorly by something that was clearly your mistake. I guess we will have to dispute the charges.

Excellent if brief tour, but very comprehensive tasting experience. We want to go back to check out the bar upstairs.

Highly recommend making reservations here. You get 1hr and 15mins to enjoy the bar and their cool drink concoctions. I tried a seasonal warm drink, which was so unique and flavorful. Other friends in the groups got different drinks and they were all delicious with great presentation! Nice, laid back vibes and also very intimate for a date.

Absolutely fabulous and informative tour! Our guide, Chelsea, was amazing!! The tastings were superb!!
We finally made it to Michter's. The last time we were in Louisville they were closed so we were unable to visit. Located downtown across from the Louisville slugger museum. We booked a 1pm tour and lucked out by having Everett as our guide. What a wonderful and informative guy! I have been on so many tours over the years and Everett managed to make this tour so interesting. I loved hearing about the history of Michters. I love their Rye so was especially looking forward to the tasting and it did not disappoint!! Tasting of six products- two ryes, bourbon barrel strength, sour mash, regular bourbon and American unblended whiskey. I have to say I enjoyed every single one of them. Great product, fun tour and highly recommend.

Easily one of our favorite stops on our bourbon trail adventure. We weren't able to get a tour but we stopped in on the Sunday before 4th of July and were able to get a table in the bar area. The building and the space were beautiful. Gorgeous floors and original tall windows made the perfect back drop even on a rainy day. Of course we had to start by trying the product so we each ordered one of their tasting flights. I drank them in ascending order by proof, so backwards from how they're listed on the flight card. I kid you not every pour I drank was better than the last. The snacks were also the perfect complement to the sips. It's like they chose them strategically lol. The spirit flight was perfect, no notes. I probably should have written this review sooner because I can't remember the name or flavor profile of the cocktail but I can tell you it was balanced and tasted as good as it looked (which is not always the case). 10/10 would recommend! I will be buying (if I can find them) and accepting bottles of Michter's henceforth!

I honestly cannot say anything negative about our visit here! We stumbled upon this distillery when we parked for a museum close by. I consider myself versed enough when it comes to cocktails or alcohol in general. I was surprised that I never heard of or seen Michter's in the liquor stores. We had a little over an hour to kill before our tour started so we decided to stop in for some drinks. Upon entering, we were greeted immediately and asked to show COVID cards. This was the only place on our road trip that actually checked us and we were on our way to NYC! We were then informed of the bar upstairs and were welcomed to walk around the gift shop. I didn't want to browse the shop first in case I was not impressed by the whiskey so we headed upstairs. We found 2 seats at the bar and plopped down. It took some time for us to be greeted and the bartenders did not look too happy. We placed our drink orders and waited a little bit. We received our drinks and we were impressed. We didn't want to get sloshed so we paid our tab after 1 round. When we were done with our tour, we decided to go back for another round. This time, there were no seats at the bar so we sat at a table. We waited longer this time to be greeted but our server was much more pleasant. We had 2 rounds of drinks, paid our tab, and went to browse the shop. Since I never heard of Michter's, I decided to purchase a bottle. There was a manager there who engaged in conversation with us and was so pleasant! I inquired about some of the drink accessories that were in my drinks upstairs and she brought me 2! I was so excited!! If we are ever in Louisville again, I am definitely stopping here. I do want to go on the tour, even though it is probably similar to other tours. I really loved the coziness and ambiance of the bar. Oh and the bathroom was very pretty and clean. I remember something was unique about the bathroom but I rarely take my phone in bathrooms lol.

Building is cool and our guide Scout was great, but this is a better tour for people who've never been on a distillery tour before. It has a real touristy feel and cost, where others have not. The 'pour' or amount of Bourbon/rye we got was tiny, especially for $25. barely 1 sips worth and certainly not enough to truly try each. We did get to try 5, but the smallest pour by far in all our distillery tours over last 6 distilleries. We went to Peerless earlier in the day. Got more in our 5 pours AND we got to keep our cups plus it was a longer tour and less money.
