Bourbon’s Greatest Journey

The Bardstown Bourbon Company is a New Blend of Bourbon Makers, pushing
the boundaries through innovation, while honoring the traditional art of making whiskey. Set on 100 acres of active farmland, they produce the highest-quality Kentucky Bourbon, whiskey and rye brands and offers custom whiskey production through a one-of-a-kind Collaborative Distilling Program. As one of the most sophisticated distilleries in the country, Bardstown Bourbon Company is focused on transparency – all open spaces and clear glass – putting the science and craft of whiskey-making front and center for all to see.

One trip to Four Roses’ historic distillery on the scenic Salt River or to their Tasting Room nestled in the quiet countryside at Cox’s Creek, and you’ll begin to understand how their Bourbon has come to be so mellow. Of course, being able to sample a taste of their award-winning Bourbons makes a trip all that more rewarding. Enjoy a walking tour of the distillery and grounds, or their bottling facility and warehouses, explore the distillation process and conclude your experience with a guided tasting of award-winning Bourbons. Guided tastings are available outside of tour experiences. Reservations recommended.

Heaven Hill Distillery has been lifting America’s spirit since 1935. Founded by
five brothers shortly after the repeal of Prohibition, the family’s entrepreneurial spirit has guided the growth of an award-winning product portfolio and trail-blazing visitor experiences for generations. 2021 ushered in the next chapter
of innovation with the completion of a campus expansion including iconic new tasting rooms, expanded gift shop, interactive exhibits, bar and rooftop deck, and VIP experiences. Centrally located in the heart of Bardstown, Heaven Hill Distillery is just minutes from historic attractions, lodging and restaurants.
