What an awesome experience. I was able to visit here 2 days with a distillery tour on Sunday. Be advised if you do the tour on Sunday at 11 you might have to wait for a drink or bottle purchase at 1 pm.The distillery tour was the best part along with the tasting.

Great tour knowledgeable guide with tasting afterwards.

Fantastic tour and experience, there's a good walk through and gift shop.The tasting experience was a lot of fun. You get to sample the bourbon and then try a scent to accompany.Afterwards you can get whatever from the bar and there's a nice selection of merchandise.

I am not at huge bulleit fan, because I'm not a high rye fan, but they have a wonderful tour, gift shop and bar. I really liked how they explained about the different types of yeasts.If you want to sign some barrels in the visitors area bring your own marker.

Every single person there was a pleasure to deal with! Shelbey Faulkner and her coworkers were super helpful and poured a great few drinks for our group at the bar.A well organized, beautifully designed, and perfectly laid out facility. A great start to my 50th birthday weekend.

We took a tour and did a tasting here at Bulleit and had an exceptional experience all thanks to our guide, Ash. We’ve toured around Kentucky distilleries throughout the week, and we were truly enthralled to have been met with such a personable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide here at Bulleit. He was being tossed random questions left and right and each were met with a quick, thorough answer. He’s the man! The property itself is beautiful inside and out. The grounds were clean, the atmosphere was fun, and the bar inside had some amazing holiday spins on some classic cocktails. Can’t wait to come back on our next trip!

Great tour & tasting! The VC and distillery grounds are absolutely beautiful! I especially liked that the bartender has specialty drinks for the season! Everyone must do this tour if you're In Kentucky!

Awesome experience. A great tasting tour to bring understanding to the bourbon flavoring and distillation process. Great gift shop too. A must visit while in Kentucky!!
This was our first stop for my friend's bachelorette bourbon tour. I'm not really a bourbon drinker, but I had still had fun!This was honestly maybe my least favorite of the three tours I went on (behind Woodford Reserve and Angel's Envy), but it was a positive experience overall that I'd recommend if you're interested in bourbon or really any kind of alcohol production.Our guide was Brittany. Her tour speeches felt a little canned/unnatural but she was pleasant and funny and clearly very knowledgeable as none of our tour's questions tripped her up at all.For this tour, we got to board a bus and see a little bit of the grounds, see some of the production, and learn about Bulleit's sustainability measures. That last part was unique and I appreciated it.Our tasting consisted of four pours. This tour had little "scent clouds" in small metal tins that we were coached to shake-sniff-sip-sniff. It changed the taste of the bourbon in unique and pleasant ways. I'd never done that before and it was fun.After that, it was on to the clean and attractive gift shop and out to take group pictures. The grounds were pretty and so was the inside so it was easy to get cute photos.Again, since I'm not really a bourbon drinker, it all tasted more or less the same to me. But I had a good time and would definitely encourage anyone with an interest in this kind of thing to check it out.

We did the anatomy of a single barrel tasting.This was our second time at Bulleit and this tasting was so good. We loved the way they set everything up and the guide through the tasting by manipulating our sense of smell to pick up different notes really elevated the experience.One of my favorite tasting experiences on the trail!

When visiting Louisville to experience The Bourbon Trail we had to plan a 45 minute excursion to go to the Bulleit Distillery because it's one of my husband's favorites. Wow! What an impressive facility! Even though everyplace we visited was over 5 years old; it looked brand new. The floors, walls, windows, stairs, and grounds were so clean; it's hard to believe that it's a working distillery that also has tours. I need to hire their cleaning staff!Ash, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and he told us about the beginnings of the company and thoroughly explained all the steps of Bulleit's distilling process. He also answered questions along the way for the tour group of about 20 as we traveled through multiple areas.The tour lasted about 45 minutes. Then, since we all became bourbon experts, we were allowed to sample the products. What was really unique about this was that we had little aroma jars to sniff before sampling each whisky. Ash also changed up the lighting and music for each selection to really set the mood for tasting. I am not really a bourbon drinker, this excursion was more for my husband, but I discovered that I really enjoyed the Bulleit Rye Whisky; something I'd never tried before. Of course my husband loved all the samples. After our tour we checked out the gift shop. What an array of products! Clothing, hats, books, magnets, ornaments, glasses, signs, and of course bourbon. We bought a hat and a "bung" Christmas ornament. My only suggestion would be to offer a small discount, 10-15% after a tour to promote more sales. The bar was open after our tour, (since it was now after 12:00,) but we had to hurry back for another tour reservation so sadly we didn't get to experience that. I do have to say Bulleit puts on an amazing tour, well worth a little extra drive.
Loved the atmosphere and love the product!!
