    Review summary

    4.9
    Excellent
    337 reviews•Google Maps

    This place delivers exactly what you'd want from a craft distillery tour: knowledgeable guides who actually make the experience fun, generous tastings, and surprisingly good bourbon. Brendan gets mentioned constantly as an exceptional tour guide who brings humor and enthusiasm without sacrificing expertise. Esme, Kelci, and Erica also earn praise for being personable and informative. One reviewer even admitted they don't typically like bourbon but found something they'd actually drink and bought a bottle on the spot. The intimate setting works in your favor here. Small tour groups mean more personal attention and deeper conversations about the whiskey-making process. The tasting portion is described as educational, with guides teaching proper tasting techniques and flavor profiles. As a bonus, the distillery has resident cats named Harold and Maude that have become unofficial mascots, plus there's a cute gatehouse bar on-site for cocktails. People consistently describe it as great value and perfect for date nights or special occasions.
