Willett Distilling Company, Bardstown

Our tour guide was hilarious, but also very knowledgeable. We got to see the fancy pot still and everything. I enjoyed how the tasting wasn't all at the beginning or all at the end. This tour was much more enjoyable than I expected. You do needs reservations for upstairs though. We tried going up and it was full.

The staff was amazingly kind and friendly. They took time to talk about the distillery, the bourbon, and even their own experiences. The grounds are beautiful. And I can imagine a better day to enjoy it. What was going to be a quick stop, lasted for a couple hours as we took it all in.

We didn't get to take the tour, but stopped in for the restaurant and gift shop. Beautiful grounds. Super friendly serving staff. The food (small plates and dessert) was tremendous. Great cocktails. Can't wait to take a tour next time we are nearby.

Ila was an awesome tour guide! Her energy and knowledge was awesome! The tasting was great because it offered me the opportunity to try many offerings I don’t typically buy or order. Some of which now I’ll purchase in the future! I was bummed the Bar was closed when we visited because I have heard it’s the best food on the trail, but it’s something I’ll just have to try in the future!

I didnt do a tour so I only experienced the restaurant and a flight of their bourbons there. The restaurant was seriously lacking if you are looking for an actual meal. This is more of a little bites and pick as you talk type food place. The ambience was very nice and the kitchen is right there beside you so you can see everything that is going on. This would be a nice spot if you have already eaten and are just looking for a place with a cool vibe and little bites to snack on.
