What distilleries are within the 30 minutes of the hotel?
about 1 hour or so.Strongly recommend Makers Mark, even if it's a bit outside your preferred range.
So with being said I think I will pass and check the local ones out. Anybody want to get a group together and make a trip?Distillery production will shut down (still house only) from August 7th - September 7th for maintenance. Tours and bottling will not be affected. They will run as usual.
uggg... not me, I won't forget the last time I had wild turkeyWild Turkey is within a 30 minute drive! Woohoo! Anybody else want to go?
Hate to do grammar police on you but the word whiskey does not sit well with us from Kentucky. In fact, we don't like, drink or produce whiskey. There's all kinds of whiskey. We make and drink bourbon. To those of us that know and understand the difference, its huge. I guess the proper analogy would be if someone thought your TDI was a Kia. You would take it personally and need to set them straight. In a respectful manner of course.Whiskey distilleries?

Sorry. Whisky, Whiskey, Bourbon, Shine its all good. I should have known better. But by technical standards it is a "whiskey". It's just called bourbon because of Bourbon County, where oddly no bourbon is made today. What makes bourbon, tennessee whiskey, rye whiskey, etc. is it's filtration, proof and so on. You i can tell know this though.Hate to do grammar police on you but the word whiskey does not sit well with us from Kentucky. In fact, we don't like, drink or produce whiskey.

And you could make the same argument about whiskey and whisky. It's all "whisky/whiskey" family just a matter of where you live you call it what you want. I get where your coming from on "it's bourbon" I understand heritage and tradition coming from TN and working in that industry. But anyway....bring on the BOURBON!the terms Whiskey vs Bourbon is like diesel vs gas. similar color, big differance
I'd lay low for a while, you're making yourself an awfully good target for shooting practice...And you could make the same argument about whiskey and whisky. It's all "whisky/whiskey" family just a matter of where you live you call it what you want.

Yup, all that and a GORGEOUS, jewel-like setting.Hands down best tour and scenery is Woodford Reserve (and its the closest to the fest). Brown Forman dropped millions they will never get back since it is too small of a distillery just to make this THE ideal way to show people how bourbon was made back in the day. I have been to every distillery in the state and this is the best.... $5 gets you a tour (takes right under 1 hour), a shot (a few good sips) and dark chocolate bourbon ball candy.
Woodford Reserve is the one we will be going to it looks. Although we will be going Saturday while the dyno and all is going on. Then hitting the comedy club that night too.Woodford Reserve sounds like a nice tour, Sundays they have 1,2, & 3pm tours.
