We parked and hung out outside until they were done -- the grounds has tables and seating outdoors. Once we got in, Fred gave us great service. His wife was also there, caring for the horses so we didn't get to interact with her as much. We learned about the distillery and the different whiskey/bourbon they had. We tried them all, and he even made some mixed drink shots. This was perfect to understand what flavors go good with each drink. We spent maybe 30 minutes here or so, and bought a few bottles to take home with us.

This distillery delivered the latter in every possible way. From the moment you walk in, there's something special about this place. It's unassuming, welcoming, and refreshingly genuine, with an all-inclusive spirit that makes everyone feel at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, and their willingness to let you explore just about anything and everything they create makes the experience truly exceptional. From traditional spirits to imaginative adaptations and unique concoctions, there's something here for every palate. The flavors are inventive, the creativity is evident, and there's a good chance you'll discover something that speaks directly to your taste. The atmosphere is clean, humble, and unpretentious. There's no need for flash or extravagance. What you feel instead is the product of hard work, determination, passion, and an unwavering commitment to being the best they can be. They aren't trying to be anyone else. They're carving out their own lane, chasing their own vision, and building something genuinely special along the way. But the experience that took this visit from memorable to extraordinary was the opportunity to step into the back room for a private barrel tasting with just five or six other patrons. One of the owners personally led us through four barrel-strength offerings, drawing samples straight from each barrel and pouring them for us to experience firsthand. With every barrel, the flavors grew deeper, richer, and more complex. Each had its own distinct personality, its own story, and its own remarkable depth. It wasn't simply a tasting; it was a journey through the character and craftsmanship of the whiskey itself. And then came the moment that made the entire experience unforgettable. The fourth barrel, a beautiful blend of four grains, was absolutely stunning. Its flavor, depth, and balance came together in a way that made me want to preserve the experience long after leaving the distillery. I asked the owner whether any bottles were available for purchase. His initial answer was no. But rather than letting the moment end there, he went above and beyond, offering to fill, autograph, and seal a bottle straight from any of the four barrels for me and anyone else who wanted one. That is the kind of generosity you simply cannot manufacture. It was personal, spontaneous, and completely unexpected. It transformed an incredible tasting into a story I'll be telling for years to come. I walked away with a bottle from Barrel No. 4, and every sip continues to take me back to that moment. This is not a bottle you rush through or open casually. It's one you savor slowly, appreciate deeply, and share with the people who mean the most to you on those rare occasions that deserve something truly special. Experiences like this remind you that great bourbon is about far more than what's in the glass. It's about the people behind it, the passion that goes into every barrel, the generosity of sharing something special, and the unexpected moments that become lasting memories. I can't wait to return and see what new and spectacular creations they come up with next. If you appreciate exceptional whiskey, genuine hospitality, and the opportunity to experience something truly out of the ordinary, put this distillery on your must-visit list. Some bottles are worth buying. Some experiences are worth remembering. And every once in a while, you find a place that gives you both. Barrel No. 4 will always be more than a bottle of bourbon to me. It will be a reminder of an extraordinary experience I'll never forget.

Once on the compound, it was difficult to miss; large glass doors and walls with the humongous crest on the front of the building. We decided to do a walk in tasting and were lucky enough to have Jonathon be our guide to all the outstanding spirits made at the distillery. Jonathon was extremely knowledgeable about the distillery's history, products, and merch. Jonathon's passion for the distillery was continually on display, and he kept the spirits light with his unique brand of humor. Be mindful that the tasting room was packed, so I also recommend making a reservation to ensure you can enjoy the experience. The options for the tasting were the clear or amber flight options. The clear choices being some of the steeped fruit and tea liquors, served with mixers for their signature cocktails. These drinks were what the distillery was most known for. The ambers were their more recent whiskey offerings, consisting of differing ageing and steeping techniques, to create their very different spirit flavors and textures. Jonathon was able to give us the history of each spirit, as well as provide mixing options, if they were a little strong for the palette. The ambers were all unique and each provided a little something for you to think over and you tasted your way through the Murlarkey display. We really enjoyed the tasting, the whiskey, the ambience, and especially Jonathon, who made the experience totally worthwhile. We grabbed a couple bottles, some of their great Bootlegger Boys merch, and made our way to their cocktail bar, Proof to taste some more of their signature cocktails. If you're in the area and looking for a fun way to spend a couple hours, look no further than the Murlarkey Distillery. Hope to see you soon.

He was a bit hard to understand and talked VERY fast, which made it tough to absorb much of the info. However, for a free activity I enjoyed it. The best part of course was the tasting at the end. We were led through how to taste the spirits and given water and crackers as palate cleansers. We tried one of their gins, two bourbons, and the caramel bourbon cream liqueur.
