Loved the patriotic theme of this distillery! The staff were fun throughout the tasting and very welcoming. The tasting was amazing. Great bourbons with some added treats like the lavender infused bourbon. Bought a bottle to bring home that I mix with some straight bourbon for a great twist on an old fashion.
We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and it was not crowded so we're were able to do a tasting . They Offer 2 different flights ..Flagship and Platinum. We did both so we could experience most of their products. The Platinum flight is definitely worth the extra cost. They have a nice gift shop where you can purchase their bourbons,whiskey,vodka,wine and moonshine. They even have a Lavender Whiskey that my wife loved. Price vary based on the age and true of bourbons. A neat distillery with an interesting history, definitely a place to try when in the Elizabethtown area.
I was staying at a hotel next door and wanted to check this distillery. The Patton Bourbon is amazing, wasn't going in thinking I wanted anything, but the taste was great. I also picked up a "sipper" Cinful, I need to go back and get a bottle! It's like "Red Hots" candy in liquid form. Nice little place, good selection and tasting bar. Kudos!
We had a great experience doing a tasting here guided by Gary who was very friendly and knew all the products well. We bought a bottle of the Lincoln bourbon whiskey and the very unique St Luke's Lavender. I would recommend this family owned and well run distillery.
I learned about this Distillery from The Bourbon Trail passport book. I haven't visited many of them but, I may make that a New Years Resolution lol. This Distillery is located between Radcliff and Elizabethtown Kentucky off the Joe Prather Highway. There is private parking parking in the front and back. The inside is warm and welcoming. Since I been here twice already I didn't have to watch the educational video again like I did the first time about bourbon and how it came about. It was a very informing video I will say. They also do tastings every 15 minutes with different groups. I was by myself and got some one on one education about the Bourbons. I love that they are very military friendly being close to Fort Knox. My guide did the tastings a certain way so basically the strongest bourbon was saved for last. I will let anyone reading this review find out for themselves about how educational they are. I will say my favorite one is the St. Luke (lavender scent/flavor). It's like drinking aroma therapy lol. This is definitely worth a visit. I even remembered to get my book stamped.
Weird parking situation. You have to park out back where I thought employees would be parking. There is no other place to park and not exactly an intuitive or easy path to get to the front doors. A weird complaint but it was kind of strange. Once inside, walked around in a few different parts before anyone came to greet me or acknowledge my arrival. No bar for drinks only paid tastings. They have a tribute bottle to 82nd Division based out of North Carolina but not a bottle for the 101st Division based on Kentucky... strange and a little disrespectful. Overall a nice interior, but wasn't impressed. Maybe it was just my experience, but I can't in good faith recommend this place.
July 14,2020 - Our first day on the Bourbon Trail was Boundary Oak Distillery. It was a beautiful day and a delight. Tours are free. I love that they gave you a bottle of free hand sanitizer they made there! Love! The tour guides, Preston & Tonya, were very friendly and the movie was my favorite part of the tour. They give a military discount on Non Alcohol Products. The tasting was $8 but they let you sample everything they made in the distillery. Active duty military - free. 7 drinks for $8. This is a good deal. I sampled everything neat. The BAD Dapper Gin: ugh! The worst... I hated the gin and took only one sip. I hate wasting alcohol but I threw the rest away. It tasted like medicine- metallic and bitter. The SO-SO: BLACKHORSE 1901: So-So - Artwork on bottle impressive! So so - easily forgettable. It tasted ok. The artwork on the bottle made more of an impression. This 8-year, 80-proof, American Whiskey pays tribute to the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment known as Blackhorse. The Blackhorse Association was founded in 1969 and incorporated a year later. Troopers of this regiment have bravely dedicated their lives to protecting America's freedom and have served unswervingly in the Philippines, Cuba, Mexico, WWII, Vietnam, Border Legion, Iraq and NTC. Patton Armored Diesel: Strong Stuff - I loved the story about this bottle of whiskey! No bueno yet better than Dapper Gin. I drank all of it. It hits you hard. The story about it is better than the bourbon whiskey. One of the first armored officers of the United States Army, General G.S.Patton, Jr. is believed by many to be the father of modern armored warfare. He expressed his admiration for the armored division through acts meant to instill camaraderie and pride within the troops he commanded. One such act was the creation of a special drink for his beloved Armored Divisions called "Armored Diesel." Lincoln Straight Bourbon - Very Strong! I loved the picture of Abraham Lincoln on it. It was too strong & intense for me though. The story: Boundary Oak Distillery introduces its newest straight bourbon. This uncut bourbon is connected to the legendary, historic Abraham Lincoln - 16th President of the United States - who is well-known to Central Kentucky and well-respected by the nation and the world! This straight bourbon has been aging to its maturity in charred white oak barrels and is ready to be enjoyed responsibly. The BEST Cinnful 69: My favorite and only $20. It was spicy yet sweet. I bought it and had dreams of drinking it neat on a cold winter day. A cinnamon whiskey that tasted like candy and was very easy to sip. I loved this drink more than the overpowering fireball. I imagined putting this in a hot apple cider or tea in winter. My Old Kentucky Home Bourbon Whiskey: Very smooth and easy to drink. St Luke: Sweet, pretty, and makes a nice Moscow Mule. A lavender bourbon drink: Beautiful bottle. Very sweet and feminine. It was inspired by 15th century European tradition in which young girls would drink a lavender tea and pray to St. Luke in hopes of receiving a dream revealing the identity of their true love. That legend is described on the bottle's rear label. It's made from real lavender - a lavender tea that's then blended with bourbon and allowed to mingle for a few days in a traditional white oak barrel to create the 60 proof product. After it's bottled, the lids and neck of the bottle will be sealed by dipping it in a lavender-colored wax.
The staff and arrangements they have made for guests here were very accommodating and pleasurable experience. Cool theater to view the history, cool gift shop and neat Lincoln historic tree in their lobby. Tastings were pretty cool. Management Question: When we visited the business on July 14, 2020, we observed you had three flag poles out front with no flags flying. What gives? The employees eluded to not knowing why they were not flying. Is it a political statement or for fear of the flags being damaged? Gotta say, it affected my experience. Please let us know. Thanks.
We didn't expect much but this was a fantastic choice. Dustin was an awesome host and guide. Not much to tour but they put on a good show, explain everything in detail and the tasting is great. I'd recommend.

Visited here today and was so very pleased! Hubby & I really enjoyed the professionalism of the girl working, September! She was adorable, articulate, personable though she spoke a bit fast & soft. I am not a big fan of whiskey/ bourbon I really enjoyed most of what I tasted. We decided upon several different bottles and even bought one for an "adopted brother", 'brother from another mother". The video they show led was very informative, helped to learn a lot of the history in America. I was really touch by the collection of police badges! I lost my dear cousin (Sgt John Macaulay ) on the streets of San Francisco. September, we will be back!! read more

Hubby and I really enjoyed our bourbon tastings, poured by Gary with detailed descriptions and professionalism. Learned my favorite was a bourbon with some added cinnamon called Cinnful. Husband's favorite was the Patton Diesel. Highly recommend this spacious location. read more
The most expensive whiskey I ever tasted was the Dalmore King Alexander III. A roughly $300 bottle, and a shot that cost at least $40. I was celebrating a promotion, don't judge! The second most expensive was the Mizunara whiskey from Boundary Oak, a $250 bottle. It's made with staves from a rare Japanese tree, that has to be at least 200 years old before it can be used. It truly imparts a one-of-a-kind flavor. This was included in the premium package, which lets you try some terrific and 'fancy' stuff for $30. You also get an etched glass to take home. Gerry was a great tasting guide! He was very knowledgeable about the products, and how they may be best enjoyed, including a whiskey that needed to sit for a bit to open up. I also want to give some extra credit, as when I asked about their "Sinful 69" bottle, he poured a little sample for me, and called over the other folks who were doing the tasting to try it also. Alas, I did not have an opportunity this time around to see the inner workings of distillation, but as I understand it, this is more an explanation that tour through the production area. With this, Boundary Oak Distillery was a great, memorable stop on my birthday trip to Kentucky. read more

Friendly staff and knowledgeable about their bourbons. I bought the St Luke bourbon infused with lavender and it's delicious! I first tried it in a mixed drink at the Beyond Bourbon festival and knew I had to get my own bottle to take home to California! read more

New craft find for us on our latest trip to bourbon country. Our guide Linda was very knowledgeable and a charismatic teller of the backstory and family associated with the spirits. I especially related to the cooks view and pairing to build out an experience when experiencing. I see the developing property and experience going far. Highly recommend. read more

We are driving through the state on our way home from New England and decided to stop by after seeing a sign on the main highway. I am SOOO glad we did! I used to drink bourbon and whiskey straight and it was my go to, but those days have passed and my palate has shifted to more delicate varieties. I did the tasting and really enjoyed the energy of the guy facilitating it. Lots of fun even though his routine was pretty clear and straightforward. The only thing I wish is that they would have done tastings of all their options. I was really curious, as takes something unusual or special for me to bring a bourbon home these days. That said, I really loved the smooth, full flavored punch and warmth of the Lincoln, but by far my favorites (and take-homes this round) were the specialty flavored items... so unexpected for a distillery. I already know that the St. Luke Lavender whiskey is going to be a staple in my life from now on (not surprising at all to hear it was created by the wife of one of the big wigs). I will absolutely order and pay for this to be shipped back to TX regularly. It's in a lovely gift-able bottle and would be ideal for any female drinker who likes lavender flavor or herbal profiles in their booze (aka gin babes like me). I also grabbed the cinnamon flavored spirit to add to my holiday cocktails and concoctions.. I really appreciated that they use real cinnamon instead of flavoring- you can definitely tell and it was the selling point for me (I never buy flavored mixers). I am so looking forward to seeing experimenting with both of these gems over the holidays in my teas and other drinks. Overall I really loved this small distillery and the straight forward, no BS experience I had of stopping in here for a quick once over. read more

This is such a nice place! I love how small and personal it is! Brent loves what he does, and you can tell! This place is not geared toward commercializing the art of distilling, he does it because he loves it and the history behind it! Really great decision to stop! read more

My friend and I went to Whiskey Wednesday night, they have an outside patio, a couple of conrhole boards and giant Jenga (even a regular one). That night they had an artist from Nashville come sing and a couple of food trucks. I didn't try the food truck (no tacos truck at the time). It a beautiful patio set up and they even string some lights out. Be a perfect date night or just hanging with friends. Their drinks speciality are delicious and unique! They are still setting up and getting organized so there is a bar area but not an actual bar, but still a neat setup and friendly staff. The other guest were great and friendly. If you are looking to network or meet new people this would be a great place to go too. read more
