Downtown The Old Forester tour is big and modern and fancy. You lose a little bit of the romanticism, but it would be my first recommendation for out of towners. MAKE RESERVATIONS WAY IN ADVANCE.
Downtown Rabbit Hole is a boutique distillery with expensive bourbon. Every bourbon tour follows the exact same process, so you aren’t getting a unique experience, but the building is beautiful and the bar that the testing ends in is a nice perk.
Downtown This is the only old school distillery in the city limits. Everything else has been built in the last few years to accommodate the exploding tourism. The owner will give a brief synopsis of his family history if he is around at the beginning of the tour, and it’s wild. His family is practically Forrest Gump stretched across generations. The tour is pretty standard.
Downtown Another modern tour downtown. The facility is bright with giant windows, which is a nice alternative to other places. The product is more palatable for those who aren’t into bourbon because of their secondary aging in (usually) port barrels.
