We visited here on Saturday, May 19. The tour was a good one and we all liked our tour guide. He took note of the 16 year old cat, Elijah at the base of one of the warehouses. He is quite the animal to behold!

Like others , I thought this was a nice tour in a beautiful part of Kentucky. What I was disappointed in ,though was that Woodford does small batch bourbon- in otherwords , they might mix different aged barrels, they said they can take 6 year barrels that have aged faster and mix it with 9 year barrels - they mix...

Stopped at the distillery 2 days ago. Tour was $7 but was very interesting. This distillery is very old and historic and makes bourbon the old fashioned way. On the way, if you are coming from the Louisville direction turn on Grassy Springs Road, just past the sign to the distillery (mapquest gave a different direction). The road is paved... More

My wife and I visited many distilleries and this was the only one that charged a $7.00 fee. We did get a very cheap plastic shot glass (LOL). The tour was OK the place is lovely but we won't be hurrying back. The tour guide was ok, the facility was lovely and it is a national historic location. I guess... More

Very nice couple of hours with friends. Was interesting to hear the historic part, was very cool to understand the science behind the beverage. Delicious bourbon balls

On a recent mini-vacation, I was able to visit 4 distilleries(buffalo Trace, Four Roses, Wild Turkey, and Woodford Reserve). While they were all good, Woodford Reserve was the best of the bunch.

This is a wonderful tour; the drive out to the distillery through the house farms is lovely. Once there you can tour this small historic distillery for $5 bucks. It's worth it; you get a nice short film followed by a small group tour of this hand crafted distillery. You complete the tour with a tasting, souvenir shot glass and... More

Okay, so this stop along the bourbon trail did cost to get in. 7.00. Only distillery that costed to get in; but MAN. Was it worth! Had a wonderful and informative tour guide named Ken who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the bourbon and distillery. Beautiful facility and surrounding area and nice little country drive to it. Highly recommend... More
