No, not really.

Have been on quite a few tours of various places and this one didn’t live up to expectations. The introductory drink was a few teaspoons, and each of the samples was about a teaspoon. Our guide was harried, talked far too fast to be consistently understood (especially for those in our group who said they were from other countries - don’t be so provincial, folks) and jumped around so it was impossible to follow the narrative. And we don’t care about you having a daughter or stubborn husband, thanks, or that you have to get done with us because the 3:00 tour is there early. We felt shortchanged and rushed. For instance, the Liberty Pole tour was much better. I would recommend that instead of this one, which I would not recommend to visiting friends or family.
Definitely a great stop on a visit.

Gail was both educational and very entertaining! The samples were varied and delicious! We loved the 25% discount offered on the gift shop items and took full advantage buying some great souvenirs! Jenna, the bar tender, was very helpful picking out and mixing our complimentary drinks!
Great experience

This tour was a lot of fun. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned about the whiskey rebellion and tasted some great whiskey. The distillery is located in “The Strip” area. After the tour there are tons of shops and restaurants you can visit.
This is a great tour and...

This is a great tour and experience. They had plenty of samples of pretty decent whiskey. The history in the story made it all worthwhile my wife and I are taking bottles back with us. Highly recommend.

Tour not only included many spirit tastings but was a very interesting history lesson. Gail was an excellent guide as was John doing the pouring. Be sure to ask for tastings of the other spirits they have. The Honey Bourbon is very smooth but the Limoncello was our favorite.
