If you are going to visit one distillery and just one distillery make sure it is not this one. The tour offered is very simple and does not really cover the distilling process, but it is rather a beer and bourbon tasting. If you are visiting multiple distilleries, then this becomes more interesting as the process is explained in other places and this is just a tasting that includes beer.

If you find yourself downtown in Lexington, visiting the Town Branch Distillery is a great way to spend an hour. It's a short walk (if you don't take any wrong turns, like we did). They provide a nice overview of their beer brewing and spirits distillery. For $10 you get an hour tour, four tasting tokens and a souviner glass. Really nice facility, very infomative. More merchandise than you could ever want. You can't buy the beers there, but you can buy the bourbon. Everything we tasted was quite good. Highly recommended.

We arrived at this stop about a half hour before they closed. We were able to pay $4 and join the distillery portion of this tour, missing the brewery portion. Not to worry though, they guided us to a bar down the road that does the beer tastings and they have a bogo beer deal until $6. The portion of the tour we joined was well done. They do a hot toddy style bourbon beverage that is really good. The guys in the gift shop were very friendly and chatted with us a little past closing time. We had a really great experience.

This was one of the most fun distilleries on the trail. Their bourbon is fine, but their beer is amazing! Bourbon Barrel Ale is out of this world and I highly recommend going here.

We decided to take some out of town family to Town Branch for a tour and we were highly impressed. The fact that you can tour both the distillery and the brewery makes this a unique experience. The huge copper tanks in the distillery are very impressive, and the bourbon is very good. They are generous with the tastings, and it makes for a very fun day.

Beautiful visitor center and the start to our Bourbon Trail experience. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Offered free admission to active or retired military which we thought was great as not all distilleries have that consideration. Wild Turkey actually wanted proof, which we thought incredulous! Tour was good, but nothing special. Production was limited...but they are growing!

This was the second to last stop on our Bourbon Trail passports. Parking was a bit limited but not a problem. The visitor center and gift shop is very nice, the staff is friendly. The tour gives you lots of options for tasting, between the beers and the spirits, but it wasn't very informational at all and not nearly as in-depth as other distilleries in the area. Pricing for both the tour and the bourbon are on par with the others.

We were doing the Bourbon Trail and didn't really want to take another tour but they were gracious and allowed us to do the tasting. We liked the product and purchased several items.

Our last stop to complete the Bourbon Trail. Nice visitor center and gift shop. The facitlty is quite compact, so there isn't a lot of walking required; as a matter of fact, it was within easy walking distance from downtown. Decent tour guide and we enjoyed the exhibits on the tour. It was also nice to get a chance to sample the Bourbon Ale I get to enjoy occasionally. Good place to visit if you're in the area and are interested in these things.

One of the nicer facilities we have visited on the Bourbon Trail. We enjoyed our tour and a nice change as they have several beers including a tasty IPA. Both Bourbon and Beer tastings. Only a few barrels are aged in this small facility due to city restrictions and limited space. Most of their barrels are aged and stored in Bardstown Kentucky.
