Loved the older days of your dis tilling.Thanks for the years of taste gentlemen. Most excellent bourbon KY. Makes
Visited Wild Turkey to earn another stamp on my bourbon trail passport. The tour was small and personal with only 4 on the tour. The information provided by the tour guide was informative, the operation seemed to be in a pause. This may have been to the post Thanksgiving holiday period. The tour guide was friendly. After the tour as with all distillery tours we headed to the tasting room to sample two bourbons per visitor. Visitor center is nice with a pictorial of the history of the company.
This was another stop on the Bourbon Trail. What made this distillery stand out was it's scenery. High in the hills, you have some spectacular views ans sights all while sipping some awesome bourbon.Ask your guide about the old train bridge.. he'll tell you about a man who has a bridge to sell.About 1-1.5 hours total.
The grounds of the Wild Turkey distillery are lovely and worth a visit. The tour is extensive and the tasting ends in a new lovely room that overlooks the picturesque Kentucky hills. Visit this distillery, if you have time on the tour!
Was expecting more from the tour...which started off with what appeared to be an amateur video, followed by views of the stills and fermenters...no warehouse tour. The only positives were the tasting and the view from the tasting room of the bridge. Wish we would have saved our money and put it towards the gift shop...where we did spent almost $200 (we purchased one of the last two Diamond Anniversary bottles.) We suggested that if you purchased a $125 bottle, you should get a free glass but the ladies said that has been suggested with no luck. Wish they would have had more photo ops...great spots for turkey statues or even fake turkeys...maybe they need some new marketing blood?! If it wasn't for the bourbon we would have passed on this one.
Our first distillery tour. Well worth the time. It's a free tour for veterans! I think it's $5 otherwise. Our tour guide was informative and somewhat comical. We started at the visitor center, boarded a bus, toured the distilling areas, and ended in the visitor center. A little bit of walking is required. The tour lasted about an hour. I don't like bourbon/whiskey but at the end of the tour, when they offered samples, I really wanted to try some. I was really hoping that after being educated on how they make it, I would like it. Didn't happen, but that doesn't mean the tour wasn't good. Now my hubby wants to do the entire bourbon tour!
A beautiful brand new Visitor Center...loved the Angels View tasting room. Tour was very good...many products to chose from...some VERY good!
Very informative loved the tour great staff had great photo opportunities and nice gift shop as well as taste testing
When in Kentucky......We enjoyed learning about how Bourbon is made and tasted some of the best Bourbon to date. The visitors centre is worth the visit with its beautiful design.
This tour is pretty basic, showing you how they make bourbon. I'm glad it was only $5. When doing the KY Bourbon Trail (which my husband and I have now completed), we appreciate distilleries who find something to make their tour unique so that you're not hearing 8 times about how bourbon is made.We were also disappointed you only got 2 very small samples. We heard conflicting information throughout all the distilleries about laws and sample counts and sizes... some places give you 3-4 generous samples. We may have liked and purchased more product had we been able to try more.All in all, we were glad to go while doing the trail and to get to try Wild Turkey (As we never had before), but the tour just isn't anything to write home about.
