The wealth of knowledge with both Austin, our Bartender and Dave, Owner, is amazing. Thanks to them, we walked out of there quite happy with our tastings. With the huge selection of Bourbon, right in front of us, we were able to ask questions about any bottle we spotted on the shelf. We gained a lot more information about Bourbon. THANK YOU Austin & Dave !!! Yes, we will stop here EVERY TIME we travel to Frankfort, KY. Hoping it won't be another 2 yrs.

We pulled up to Benson Valley only to find it closed, so we decided to give HOC a try instead --…read morebest detour ever! This place was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and welcoming. The staff provided great whiskey conversation and shared so much interesting history about the community and the distillery. It really made the tasting feel personal and special. We had the opportunity to sample an incredible lineup: * Weller 12 * Rip Van Winkle 10yr * Castle & Key Rye * Peerless Double Oak * Benson Valley Bourbon Every pour was smooth, flavorful, and clearly high quality. The pours were generous and the explanations for each one added so much depth. If you're into whiskey (or just good conversation and local history), HOC is a must-stop. We left smiling and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend! Thanks again to the team at HOC -- you turned a closed door into one of the highlights of our road trip!

I made the drive to Happy Hour Liquor to check it out and give an entrepreneur my business. Ondie was a great help. He asked which drink I was planning to make, and naturally I had my two-page list on hand. Together we searched the web to determine the best pick. We have something in common since we've both recently moved back to Lexington, and we agree that it rocks. Then he gave me a sneak peek of their future bourbon bar. I'm first in line when it opens! You'll find Ondie behind the bar. He made me promise to bring my list so we can concoct some libations. My new friend! Here's a tip: if you're looking for an alternative route to Nicholasville Road, take the Harrodsburg to Keene Road connection. Such a beautiful drive past a couple of horse farms.

I was served a regular margarita with heat but no peaches. Our server was delightful and attentive. I will go back.

The property is absolutely beautiful, and you immediately get a sense of luxury as soon as you walk into the check-in area. Before our tour, we ordered two drinks, and both were delicious. Our tour guide, Sydney, was fantastic--she was knowledgeable, informative, and very relatable. When we reached the tasting room, she guided us through each sample and shared some great insights along the way. The gift shop had a great selection of souvenirs, and we loved that there was also another bar where we could order additional cocktails, along with a few small snack options. Overall, Woodford quickly became one of our favorite stops on the tour. We highly recommend visiting if you're in the area--and definitely make a reservation in advance!

The beer selection is a little on the heavier side, with quite a few high ABV draft options. What's nice is that you can travel between this location and the original 3rd Turn location, so if someone in your group is looking for a lighter beer they can walk next door where they have 20 different beers are on-tap as well as bourbon slushies. The workers always go above and beyond to make sure their customers are taken care of and are very knowledgeable about the beers and bourbons they serve. They have ample seating inside and out and usually have a food option available on Friday and Saturdays. Check them out on Facebook for more info.

Guys, this place is MY JAM!!!…read more 3rd Turn continues to rock out handcrafted venues (built by the owners). They upcycle as many materials as possible and do their best to maintain the unique venues natural magic. And now we are onto the beer. By far, my favorite brewery in Louisville. The tap changes almost daily and there is always something funky about even the most basic beers. I have difficulty drinking more than one beer total a day because of how heavy they can be. However, when consuming high abv beer that is clean and brewed the right way, I am able to drink multiple beers in one sitting. Which, makes it great for the beer lover that I am! what is on tap is always barrel aged and different from their full brewery next door. The bourbon selection is fantastic and we have enjoyed Edward Lee so often that we finished the bottle last night! I guess it is time to start something new!!! Bring your friends or kids. There are games and it is quite literally for all beings. Enjoy! You'll thank me!!!

This was my first time at Buffalo Trace. It was a spontaneous visit while driving through the area…read moreon my way West. It was a Saturday so likely the busiest day of the week. There was a long line of cars backed up into the street to get in and park. I'm not on a set timetable so I waited. I ended up getting one of the last spots in their overflow parking lot. I then waited in a line for about 45 minutes to get the wristband that allowed me to get inside the grounds. Luckily the weather was nice for that wait and I enjoyed the sun. Then there was a short line of about 10 minutes for the tasting sessions. From there on out, no lines except for the checkout line in the gift shop. This brand has a very loyal following. Of the whiskey varieties, bourbon is my favorite as there are many variations and complexities in each bottle I enjoyed the tasting session which are well organized and small groups. We sampled 3 varieties and finished with a bourbon ball made by a local candy company. The tasting took about 20 minutes then I was free to explore the large grounds. Buffalo Trace has a beautiful working campus with lots of great photo ops and interesting buildings. Old and new mixed. The grounds are manicured and There's also lots of staff around to help with questions and directions. I ended up buying several bottles of their products including the self branded Bourbon Lemonade (currently only available at this site), Bourbon Cream, and semi-rare limited bottle of aged single barrel bourbon. There are lots of Buffalo Trace branded merch throughout the huge gift store. These guys know what they're doing when marketing their name. Every employee I encountered was super polite and helpful. This distillery is a nice local and national treasure. I would love to return one day when in the Frankfort area.
