Any recommendations. I've been to many of the distilleries Jim Beam is okay. Huge gift shop and some historic buildings. Woodford is a really nice distillery in the middle of horse country. Makers is a cool distillery too Very close to heaven hill and a few others So if your time is short I'd hit that this area. At makers, you can dip a hat and other stuff in the red wax they use. Town Branch is a relatively new distillery. It's downtown and worth checking out. I don't know much about restaurants. I'm only ever in town at the end of the Bourbon Chase Race.

Thanks for the tip on Town Branch, good to have a downtown option. 42 minutes ago, Meglamaniac said: Make sure to hit the Buffalo Trace tour This one is part of the plan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
