Green River Distilling Co.: Private Bourbon Masterclass & Tasting

Step inside one of Owensboro's most acclaimed distilleries (rated 4.9 stars) for a private, guided bourbon masterclass. Tour the working rickhouses, learn the craft from a master distiller, and sip rare single-barrel expressions unavailable outside the tasting room.

What to expect

Your host meets you at the beautifully restored distillery on the banks of Owensboro. You'll walk the grain-to-glass process, descend into fragrant rickhouses stacked with aging barrels, and settle into the tasting lounge for a curated flight of single-barrel and small-batch bourbons. The intimate setting means genuine conversation with the craftspeople behind every bottle.
