Overview

The Bardstown area offers a diverse tour route of the very old and new distillery experiences. One of the world's largest producers of Bourbon, Jim Beam boast over a 200-year long family heritage of distilling and offers some of the finest bourbons in the world. You will see one of the largest Pot Stills in the industry at Willett Distillery and they even sell their signature branded bottles shaped like their Still. Further south in Loretto, the world-famous Maker's Mark can be found with their very distinctive hand dipped red wax bottle tops. Lux Row, a relative newcomer to the Bourbon business, has just opened their new modern distilling facility that displays all the latest in technology and development to master their craft.
