What you get when you bottle your own is definitely one of a kind, they were pouring the first Elijah Craig rye while I was there. Also, this place is beautiful and you have to visit the bar upstairs after your tour. Completely worth it. However, the bourbon bubble is over for now. Less people drinking and willing to pay secondary prices. Furthermore, a lot of us have gotten pretty smart watching YouTube and reading about this amazing brown elixir. So, the 51% corn and new oak barrel stuff can probably be dropped, but tell me what is special about my choices. I also asked our friendly tour guy if HH was bringing back the 12 year age statement on the Elijah Craig and he responded 12 years? (A few years ago EC dropped the age statement, because bourbon was being sold so fast, they had difficulty obtain older bourbon for this brand). My point is be unique, tell me something that we don't know, what is HH doing to deal with the change in the bourbon trend, what is the new thing in bourbon. Take a tour of Wild Turkey Russel Reserve tour, they did it right.

We chose the Willett Distillery because of it's location being close to where we were staying and the availability of tours. We timed it with lunch at The Bar at Willett and were so glad we did, the food was amazing. Our tour guide was a very knowledgeable and friendly young gal, the only issue was she seemed to be in a hurry. I understand timelines and we can't stay out there forever but there's got to be a better way to stay on track than checking your watch every 5 minutes! Her energy and enthusiasm sprinkled with a good sense of humor definitely added a nice touch to the otherwise generic tour. Thank goodness for one of the testers, he let us dip our fingers in the mash ton, something we learned to do on several other tours we've taken. It's a nice "odd" thing to offer, making for a more unique tour. The whiskey is good and the tastings are average pours with the price being average for a full tour. We enjoyed our time at Willett and would definitely visit again for the restaurant!

You also get 3 chocolates to pair with certain whiskey to enhance the flavors. Cheers everyone this is a wonderful experience.

Just delicious and a great spin on a classic cocktail. Our guide Lindsey was awesome. Very interactive, witty and funny. She made the entire experience better. You get pours along the way which is better than just a full tasting at the end. Bonus gift, you get a land-yard with a mini tasting glass attached. It was so nice to have.

We was also at the bottling facility which. Was nice, but we thought it was going to be at the actual distillery. This isn't their fault, it's the fault of the tour which booked it. It was a gift shop where we arrived and then were taken to the tasting room. It was nice and I wasn't too impressed with the bourbon. The person doing our tasting seemed annoyed and wasn't very friendly. If you do go to four roses make sure it's the actual distillery because it's very pretty.

Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont is an absolute highlight of the bourbon trail and easily one of the best overall experiences. Our group of six split up to try two different tours, with three doing the Beam Made Bourbon Distillery Tour and the other three opting for the more intimate Small Batch Craft Tour at the FBN Distillery. Both groups came away saying their experience was fantastic, each offering something unique with knowledgeable guides who really brought the Beam story to life. The property itself is beautiful and feels like a true destination. Since Suntory acquired the brand in 2014 and invested heavily into the grounds, it shows in every detail. Everything is well maintained, thoughtfully designed, and set up to give visitors a full experience rather than just a quick tour. I personally did the Small Batch Craft Tour and it was outstanding. Our guide Sam made the entire experience memorable with a great balance of storytelling, bourbon knowledge, and personality. The way she presented the Beam history kept everyone engaged, and the bourbon selections she chose for our tastings were spot on. One of the best ways to wrap up your visit is by heading to the on site restaurant, The Kitchen Table. The food and cocktails were excellent, and the setting overlooking the property made it the perfect place to relax after the tour. Overall, Jim Beam Distillery delivers a complete and memorable bourbon experience. Between the variety of tours, beautiful campus, and great food and drink options, this is a must visit stop in Clermont.
