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.
Good to know
The distillery is approximately a 10-minute ride from the riverfront dock — rideshare or a pre-arranged car service is ideal. Reserve private tasting experiences directly via their website at least 2 weeks ahead. Confirm your all-aboard time and allow 2 hours comfortably.
