The distillery experience…read moreis top-notch--we did the tour and tasting and loved the unique "thieve your own bottle" straight from the barrel. It doesn't get more authentic than that. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and you can tell they really care about what they're doing. The whole property adds to the charm--beautiful views, a relaxed atmosphere, and even some animals wandering around that make it feel like a true Kentucky experience. As a Harvest Hosts location, it's one of the best we've stayed at. Plenty of space, peaceful setting, and just an all-around great place to spend the night after enjoying some bourbon. Highly recommend whether you're stopping in for a tasting or staying overnight--you won't be disappointed.

The grounds are beautiful and they even had a few cute little goats roaming around. The staff is super friendly and engaging. They don't serve food here but did supply small bags of pretzels. They also served bourbon slushes which one of my friends LOVED.

You will enjoy a bourbon blending experience with a master bourbon blender and can customize your own bottle, right down to the color of the wax. Seen was our master bourbon blender and she was so knowledgeable and made this whole experience memorable and unforgettable. We did a tour around where she explained everything. We felt like you were family and we loved how personalized our experience was. It was different than some of the bigger distilleries that felt less personal and more corporate, which made this experience even more special. Our tasting was amazing and we learned a lot about the aging of bourbon and the stave aging that they do at J Mattingly Distillery. Highly recommend checking out this distillery and bringing home some of your favorites home with you!

We decided to try Prodigy because it was the first one we say on the road sign and it was open (a lot of places were closed due to the snow). The property is beautiful. It's very spacious and has a very nice view of an open field. We were also greeted by the sweetest cats. One walked right up to us when we got out of the car and immediately wanted to be petted. We were greeted at the tasting room by more affectionate cats and dogs! The tasting room has a bunch of decorated shelves with the bottles ready for purchase and a lot of horse themed items. We decided to go a tasting which comes with 6 different wines. The presentation was my favorite part because each wine was in a different beaker. We enjoyed the wine. My husband loved the blueberry wine so much, he bought a bottle right on the spot. We absolutely loved Prodigy and hope to come back soon.

We met the owner who is pretty damn cool, retired school teacher who opened a winery. We each tried 5 tastings, each one had a story, a pairing to try and in most cases how to turn it into a sangria. The cheese spreads were incredible and so was the jelly made from the wine. The barn was decorated nicely and seemed to have comfortable couches. We ended up purchasing 3 bottles of wine, feta dill cheese spread (2) and a strawberry wine jelly. The winery was unique and definitely worth a stop.

We got two flights and several stood out: First, the Cerveza Cómplice, which screamed classic, crushable Mexican adjunct. We fell in love with the light, clean and complex Dapple IPA (probably the top pick for us of the lot) and followed up with a full pint. In our second flight, we melted over the dry, but jammy, Dread Pirate Roberts blackberry sour (again followed with a full pint). The Bog of Allen extra stout on nitro gives Guinness a perfect run for its money with clean cocoa and coffee finish, and the Zero Irish Red gave set a new standard for us against which to compare Irish Reds. It had a strong nose of speculoos and tasted perfectly to boot. Friendly staff, a separate food kitchen in back and clean, chill facilities to accompany.
