I had a really wonderful visit to this Black owned whiskey tasting room. I was visiting Lexington and Nashville for my 47th birthday and this place was my first stop after landing at the Lexington airport. The tasting room is really well appointed with the lighting fixtures, seating and beautiful bar. The bartender was so kind and took his time telling me all about the whiskies made there at Fresh, as well as the back story behind the owners. This was a really wonderful way to start my birthday long weekend. read more

What an amazing experience and I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but if you are in downtown Lexington, put an hour on your schedule and reserve this experience. If you like bourbon, you will not be disappointed. read more

One of the most unique bourbon experiences I've been to. A very fun and interesting tasting. The establishment itself adds a little bit of glam in the decor. Taste one of their bourbons and experience it with different scent smells and tastes. Then learn how to mix the perfect Old Fashioned. The bourbon itself was also excellent! read more

The most expensive tasting in Kentucky. Bourbon is very malt forward. Tasting was gear more around the servers than the history and story behind the bourbon. Beautiful tasting room. read more

Rob is amazing! This is one of our favorite experiences on the bourbon trail. We can't wait to come back again in a few months!

This place has a GREAT cocktail/tasting class. I've been to several distilleries already and the same old tasting at each one. But this place really steps it up and adds some smells and tastes to enhance the bourbon. After the tasting, they walk you through crafting your perfect old fashioned. They had some fun bitters to try out. Lastly, they make you your drink of choice on the menu. I got the paper plane and I really enjoyed it. A group of four of us booked the tasting on a whim that day and we all loved it. Our guides were awesome too and super personable. We stayed after a few minutes just to chat with them and it really adds to the experience when people care about your experience and not just getting through the class. It's a small little spot but they said the bar area could hold up to 18 or so if they squeeze them in there. The aesthetic of the place is also *chefs kiss*. I think it could be fun for a girls night or a bachelor or bachelorette party! read more

We didn't really know what to expect and went there on a whim. Had a great time, learned a lot about bourbon. It's not a tour of the distillery, but actually sampling the bourbon and learning about how food and aromas affect the perception of taste. Our guide was friendly, engaging and knew his business. We highly recommend going! read more

Everything was perfect I am from New York my first time in Kentucky and went there did the bourbon trail and fresh was the best And I like that it's made in small batches with locally sourced ingredients that they measure there self read more

This is not your average bourbon tasting. (Which, to be clear, is what we usually do and which we do enjoy.) This is a glam little place with a cocktail bar speakeasy kind of vibe. Lots of exploring tasting notes, great experience if you have foodie inclinations. You taste some neat bourbon and some cocktails and it's all excellent. (One of them has sweet tea, which I hate and my dad is a little allergic to, but we both drank it all because it was that damn good.) We are checking a bag to bring a bottle home. Blake was our guide and was hilarious and very entertaining - especially recommended for the girls, gays and theys, but my dad is a straight older dude and also had a great time, so honestly Blake's charm knows no bounds. (We met the other guys, who were also cool - you probably can't go wrong with any of them, but our recommendation stands.) This place would be great as part of a bachelor/ette party, or a girls' night out, or if you're just traveling through Lex, or if you want to challenge your friend who thinks they don't like bourbon...or really anything. Just go. read more

Staff was super friendly and welcoming. The vibes of the place including all the tasting details are amazing. The bourbon was ok but the pour of the single barrel was better. Totally worth checking out for the experience alone. read more

Decided to support this business & celebrate by birthday. Owners are great people & I was excited to share a new spot & experience with my loved ones. Had a group of 12. There was another small group of 3-4 so the total packed the tasting room. Everything from lobby/storefront was eye-catching. Tasting Room Set-up was very impressive & intriguing. Our Bourbon "Guide" Tobie was absolutely wonderful. Her presentation on bourbon & personality overall was a major hit with group. Everything we learned & tasted was worth the $25 entrance fee. Had my first Old Fashion (was able to customize the bitters added) & it was delicious. We are already planning to return. Highly recommend!! Looking forward to all The Edwards & Fresh Bourbon have coming to the city! read more

Just finished having a tasting at this location. George was our hostess and did a great job. Best tasting we have ever sampled!!! We were able to make our own old fashion. Thanks George and Alana for making our experience a great one! read more

The experience at Fresh Bourbon was awesome! The bourbon tasting in which my wife and I participated was great. Aaron was the host for our tasting and he was extremely knowledgeable. He was also very patient with us in answering many of the questions we had. The venue for the tasting was very nice and actually quite elegent and the process of tasting the bourbon in conjunction with different tastes and smells really helped us understand the complexities of bourbon and it's taste. Then walking us through the process of making an Old Fashion that aligned with our own personal tastes was amazing. I would highly recommend Fresh Bourbon and the tasting experience to anyone. read more

Awesome experience and extremely knowledgeable. Would recommend to anybody looking to enjoy some bourbon.

Great experience. Don't pass this up bc it was truly amazing. Thank you so much for a perfect date night. read more

Fresh Bourbon - Amazing experience. Book today for an amazing and unforgettable time. - Distilleries Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

My brother did a large portion of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and I thought I'd take a detour to Lexington on my way to Tennessee. I picked this and am glad I did! My wife isn't a bourbon drinker so I wasn't sure if she would like it but I was wrong. George did a great job explaining the "Fresh" approach to making Bourbon they taking. We met Sean one of the owner's who was very gracious and helpful discussing their business. The tasting was unique and it really highlighted the unique flavors of their recipe. It was a great experience I'd highly recommend and while we had a very intimate tasting with just the 3 of us they can accommodate up to 18 people at a seating. We ended up buying a bottle and their Worcestershire sauce. P.S. I rarely give 5 stars. read more

Our first stop on our first trip to Kentucky. Everyone should make this their first experience because we loved it! private, fun, engaging experience in a gorgeous space. Nate was our guide and he even recommended restaurants and other things to do around the area. He hooked us up with a private guide for a day in Bardstown and that was such a fun day too. read more
