What a great experience at Maker's Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky! This was a beautiful place to visit, and the entire property is absolutely gorgeous. The drive out there is scenic, and once you arrive, the grounds are beautiful and really give you that classic Kentucky bourbon experience. We did the bourbon tasting and tour, which was $31 per person, and I thought it was well worth it. The tour lasted about an hour and a half, including the tasting, and our tour guide was fantastic. She did a great job explaining the history of Maker's Mark and walking us through how the bourbon is actually made. One of the things I enjoyed most was getting to see the different stages of the process. They take you through the actual production areas and explain how everything is processed, including the large fermentation tanks where you can see everything bubbling as part of the fermentation process. It was really interesting to see the process in person instead of just hearing about it. We also learned about how they handle the bourbon barrels in the warehouses. The barrels are moved around by hand, including switching barrels between different levels of the warehouse so they experience the appropriate conditions and heat. It was pretty fascinating to learn how much hands-on work still goes into making the bourbon. If you want to learn about bourbon, how it's made, and the history behind Maker's Mark, I definitely think this tour is worth doing. You get to see so much more than you would by simply visiting the gift shop or tasting room. One thing I will mention: go during a cooler time of year if you can! Some of the production rooms were extremely hot, and we were sweating like crazy. I think visiting in November would be a much more comfortable experience. But honestly, getting to see all of the rooms and different parts of the operation made it worth it. We also ate at the restaurant while we were there. I had the hamburger for $22, and the fries were $9. We also had the bread with apple jam, which was really, really good! The apple jam was definitely a standout. Sherry loved the cowboy butter, which had a lot of spices and a little bit of a kick to it. Loretto itself is a very small town, so there isn't a ton to do in town, but there are several distilleries in the surrounding area. Maker's Mark is also very easy to get to from Louisville. We basically headed down Bardstown Road, took 49 South, and then followed the signs for Maker's Mark Road. The drive out there is part of the experience because the scenery is beautiful. Overall, this was a really enjoyable bourbon experience. Beautiful property, interesting tour, great guide, good food, and plenty of history. If you've never been to Maker's Mark, I definitely recommend making the trip. Kentucky bourbon doesn't get much more scenic than this!
Maker's Mark was the first distillery we visited once we arrived in Bardstown, and it was the perfect way to kick off our Bourbon Trail experience. The distillery grounds are absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous landscaping and art displayed throughout the property. I was especially excited to see pieces by one of my favorite artists, Chihuly, which was such a fun surprise. Even though Maker's Mark is such a well-known bourbon that you can find at almost any bar, I loved learning that they still do so many things by hand. They still print their own labels, and of course every bottle is hand-dipped in their signature red wax. One of the coolest parts of the tour is at the very end. If you purchase a bottle, you get the chance to dip it in the wax yourself. It's way harder than it looks to make it resemble the bottles you see on the liquor store shelves! The gift shop is large with plenty to browse, and the entire operation felt incredibly well run. Overall, it was a great tour and one I'd definitely recommend if you're visiting the Bourbon Trail.
We love coming here. This was our third visit to the distillery and it may have been our best tour ever. Jeremiah was so personable and was just such a great guide. He wasn't all about technical details and capacities and proper temperature.. he was about relating the story. He brought the experience to life and made you feel at home. The grounds are beautiful as always. The tasting was great and the Private Selection barrel we tasted was one we had to bring home. My wife even dipped it herself. It's well worth the trip away from the rest of Bourbon Country to make the drive out here. I really don't think you will be disappointed.
We sure did enjoy our time here! Makers Mark exceeded my expectations! The grounds are super beautiful the staff was amazing, and super good whisky! Our tour guide Cheyenne by far made our experience steller! We really learned a lot from her and we felt a deeper connection with the distillery during and after leaving the tour. The gift shop staff was really friendly Josh was really nice and helped me dip my own bottle. A shout out to him as well. I thought the prices were more than fair.. We are at Star Hill Provisions. The food, cocktails and service were amazing as well! I had the fried chicken sandwich with fries and my wife had the wedge salad. Also what I got out out of the tour is that they take good care of their employees and land which is important to me. This is a company that has good values which I'll remember in the future. Definitely recommend coming here! PS: as you get closer to the distillery follow the signs Makers Mark posted to the roadways, not so much the GPS, the GPS will lead you down some tight roads. In fact check the Makers Mark Web page to see if they post better directions than GPS.
Tour is fun, entertaining and informative. I am not a liquor drinker and still enjoyed the tour. Would do it again.
There are various aspects of this tour that are beyond bourbon: The beautiful grounds, the art, and being able to dip your own bottle in their iconic red wax. The entire tour focuses on how Mrs. Margie has started bourbon tourism with offering tours and creating a brand. The incorporation of the art pieces, all the way from storage to tasting makes the grounds all the more interesting. This distillery is not in the Frankfort area where you can hit more than one on your way. But it is worth a day trip of its own. Just make sure to plan for the restaurant to close on the earlier side, last seating at 5 pm.
Our Golden Ticket Tour at Maker's Mark was nothing short of exceptional, and a huge part of that experience was our incredible tour guide, Laura. Without a doubt, she is the best tour guide we have ever had. From the moment the tour began, Laura's personality lit up the entire experience. She struck the perfect balance between being informative and entertaining, sharing the rich history and craftsmanship behind Maker's Mark while keeping everyone fully engaged. Her sense of humor and perfectly timed jokes made the day not only educational but genuinely fun and memorable. You can tell Laura truly loves what she does, and that passion comes through in every part of the tour. She made us feel welcomed, valued, and like we were part of something special. The Golden Ticket Tour is already a unique experience, but Laura elevated it to a whole different level. If you're planning a visit to Maker's Mark, we can't recommend this tour enough--and if you're lucky enough to have Laura as your guide, you're in for an unforgettable day!
First time ever touring a distillery after living in the area over a decade. I was blown away by the guided tour, our guide was Jackie and she was phenomenal! Truly so in depth, informative, fun and made us all feel so immersed in the area. The property was so beautiful and well tended. The aroma of the fermenting room can be strong for some but they do warn people and ask often if people are doing okay. I will also note there are some stairs but other ways to get around are available such as ramps. I will say I'm no bourbon drinker but the tasting was fun and I learned so much about the process and what it meant to the family. The Original Makers was my favorite though everyone else favored the 46 blend. At the end I had a fun time dipping my own bottle to commemorate the memory.
My friends and I visited Maker's Mark during our recent trip to Kentucky. The distillery is tucked away in the countryside, about an hour's drive from Louisville, but the trip is well worth it. We toured the grounds with a large group, and everything was immaculate. The tour itself was very informative and a great way to learn more about the bourbon-making process. After the tour, we participated in a tasting, which was a fun and educational experience. We then decided to eat at the Star Hill Provisions Café on the grounds. There was no wait, and we were seated right away. We ordered pizza, meat soup, lamb meatballs, and a chicken sandwich--all of which were fresh and delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit to Maker's Mark and would absolutely come back again.
Amazing experience today! We had a great in depth tour behinds the scenes. I signed up to be an Ambassador 7 years ago and my barrel finally matured. Hearing the story of Makers Mark was really interesting and we sampled some bourbon in various stages along the way. We finished up getting to hand dip our bourbon bottles with our names on custom labels. Overall a great experience and I'll be a loyal brand ambassador for life
The Maker's Mark Distillery was the highlight of our trip around the bourbon trail. Everything about this facility is warm and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel part of the family. I whole heartedly recommend that this be a stop if you're in the area.
We had a great tour! Cheyenne is an excellent friendly and knowledgeable guide. I felt I learned a lot about the company. The grounds are beautiful and you get to see a lot on the classic tour. You get to taste for samples at the end of the tour and my husband loved dipping his own bottle in the red wax. I'd like that they have a small art collection in the visitor center and the glass exhibit was beautiful. I'd love to Chihulily glass.
Tour guide Jeremy was awesome. We had a great time viewing the different stages of the process. I would recommend visiting to anyone who has an appreciation for a well oiled system and the love of bourbon. Beautiful grounds

Tour guide Laura is the absolute best and made my ambassador experience top tier. Her positive energy and knowledge is unmatched. The distillery grounds are well manicured and all of the staff is personable. This was my second visit after 3 years in 2023 and the progress on the grounds is beautiful. Early morning tours are a must so you can take in everything before the crowds come. read more

Gorgeous grounds! Well worth the drive from Louisville! The bottle dipping experience made for a wonderful souvenir to take home. We didn't take a tour, but we wandered around the beautiful campus and did a flight tasting. Great experience all around! read more
Our second time touring the property and actually the same tour, but it has been three years and this time we had Chad, who was awesome and knowledgeable. An overall great time, beautiful property, and some of my favorite whiskies made to date. Got a bit of history about the family an distillery, visited a number of sites and of course, finished it off with some great whiskey. At the end, we dunk a bottle to take home and headed over to their kitchen, which again was amazing. Food was on point, well priced as was the whiskey and a quaint location. I know the drive is a bit out there, but I promise it is worth trip. read more

Hoping to learn a little of the process of making bourbon. I got that and much more. I came away with a greater appreciation for Makers Mark. The campus was a wonderful place to visit. I look forward to a return visit. If I could get Jim as a guide again that would be spectacular! Makers set the standard for tours of distilleryes. read more
Awesome distillery with beautiful grounds! I was there picking up my Ambassador bottles that were ready from my Ambassador barrel. The bar there is wonderful, with lots of Maker's bourbon choices. We ended up buying 4 bottles from my barrel, which we dipped, and two more that we bought resulting from our tasting. I highly recommend going here if you have the chance! We throughly enjoyed our visit! read more
Far and away one of the best distillery tours I've been on . . . . and I've been on a few. I do have to say that the one Maker's Mark release i have had before this was not my favorite, but I'm so glad i went on this tour. First off, our tour guide, Chad, was the best. It seems like he started in production, and still keeps a hand in it, before becoming a guide. We saw a lot on the tour, and heard more Maker's Mark history than i can remember. I have a new appreciation for the brand and picked up two bottles that I'm looking forward to opening. I even got to dip the bottles in that famous red wax myself. (dip, turn, turn) Apparently they shut down production to clean in August, so we didn't see much activity . . . . but that just made fore a quieter tour. Finally, there was a temporary Chihuly glass exhibition on the grounds and in some of the buildings while i was there, which was pretty cool. In fact there was a lot or art ar Maker's Mark in general. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour. read more
On the third day of my bourbon tour, I made it to Maker's Mark Distillery. This is one that I had really been looking forward to, and it was exceptional. I happened to walk in two minutes before a tour was starting. I didn't have a reservation, but they were able to still get me in. Andrew was our tour guide and he was outstanding. He really seemed energetic and enjoyed giving tours. This was a great history lesson of Maker's Mark along with getting to understand their distilling process, seeing one of many barrel rooms, and watching them hand dip each bottle in that famous red wax. The farm that Marker's Mark is on is nothing short of beautiful. Of course, getting to taste four of their bourbons was a highlight. Andrew did a great job of describing each of our four tastings. The smell, the taste, how it sits on your pallet, how it finishes, etc. Maker's Mark has a great gift shop, and they give you the opportunity to hand dip your own bottle of bourbon, should you choose to buy a one. I only wished I had brought a bigger suitcase. If you find yourself in Loretto, Kentucky or someplace nearby take some time and head over to Maker's Mark. You get to see history, see a famous piece of beautiful art, and taste some great bourbon. One thing I would recommend is that they have more signs directing you to the visitor's center. I did get a little lost. But no big deal as the grounds provided such a spectacular view. read more
The distillery is tucked away in these beautiful rolling hills (not necessarily the greatest for people who get motion sick, but very much worth it). The staff is all so happy to be there, and with the size of the distillery, you would never believe only 70-80 employees used to do everything until a few years ago. Their restaurant, Star Hill Provisions, is amazing and any time you have to enjoy the cocktails is well worth it. We were lucky enough to do a Friends of Makers Mark tour and learn so much - Chet is so knowledgeable and definitely enjoys his job! Star Hill Farm is amazing - did you know there's an Appalachian breed of sheep that's short haired and delicious? Cause they do! read more

I'm reviewing strictly the tour, more specifically The Oak Experience tour. If I added the gift shop or whisky in my review unfortunately it'd be down a star or two! Our tour started in the garden, the absolute perfect place to start any tour. It sort of didn't have a lot to do with the whisky but our tour guide, Amber (?) gave us the whole history of why it's there, sustainability factors, research and the environment, she was phenomenal! We then got in an off-road van and off we went into the forest! We learned about the lake, the care of the land around the lake but mostly the wood and what it takes to sustain the much needed oak. Along the way, we had tastings like we've never had, lakeside, in the forest and thieving in the rickhouse! The tour was absolutely amazing and unique, exactly what we needed after doing several while in town. I'm not a fan of the whisky and the gift shop is severely, I mean severely over priced, not just a little but a lot! All the staff we met along the way for the tours were fantastic, friendly and welcoming. The gift shop employees need to take lessons from them on how to treat their customers! Great experience for tours! read more

Fabulous bourbon tour covering a very beautiful campus. There's lots to explore even outside of the tour stops that you can do on your own. There was a fair amount of walking but nothing too crazy. The tasting at the end offered four different bourbons. Don't forget to dip your own bottle in the gift shop! read more

Maker's is a classic stop on the bourbon trail! Gorgeous grounds with lots of history. We're bummed we didn't have time to do a full tour but we got to walk around, visit the gift shop, dip our own bottles (highly recommended!!!), and eat at their restaurant. Even if you don't have a lot of time, definitely add this as a stop. We enjoyed our food at the restaurant and got a tasting of some of their limited edition and distillery pick bottles! read more

Great guides, grounds and tour. One of, if not the best distillery tours. They have a way of explaining and show people how to get the most taste out of their bourbon. Always a great experience. read more
We went to see the Chihuly exhibits and arrived in the late afternoon, which is a perfect time to go. You can see them all in the daylight hours and stick around and see them at night and how they change when darkness hits. Staff was all very friendly and accommodating. The evening was reserved for Maker's Mark Ambassadors (which we both are) so it was great to be there when there wasn't a huge crowd (also the ticket prices were much cheaper!) Bonus: we got some neat pours and a welcome cocktail. Only downside was I wish there were more new pieces vs returning pieces from the previous exhibit there in 2017. If they do another Chihuly exhibit, I'll make sure to check before making the long drive as to how many pieces are new and how many are returning. Star Hill Farms restaurant, which I've heard good things about, was closed that evening, so that was disappointing as I've been wanting to try it. But there was a food truck on site. Overall a nice night. read more

The sight of lambs frolicking on a green lawn greeted us as we entered the campus of the Maker's Mark distillery. Pure pastoral bliss, even if expertly designed and manicured, permeates the scene. (The irony of such a bucolic setting for the production of hard spirits was not lost on me, but I digress.) Whether by artifice or nature or a combination of the two, the setting-- buildings and landscaping alike--is beautiful. (The same cannot be said of MM's various other "facilities" in the region, that look like dystopian/Eastern bloc housing complexes.) All encountered staff were likewise pleasant and obviously well trained. The tour was comprehensive, culminating in a generous tasting. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable, though the KY party girl persona verged on overkill. Typical exit through the gift shop where guests can buy a $50 t-shirt or wax their own bottle of MM bourbon for the price of the bourbon and then some. On the day of our visit, the restaurant was closed for renovation; MM pivoted by selling pre-made sandwiches and salads from the bar. We ate on the adjacent porch overlooking the grounds. My salad was excellent, and the view...see the first paragraph of this review. Did they miss the mark on anything? The tour was a bit rushed. I would prefer a less comprehensive tour for more time to observe the actual workings of the distillery. Signature cocktails for $17 at said bar. That price seems high to me. Besides, day drinking makes me nappy. I passed. The bar also sold loaves of sourdough bread that purportedly used the same yeast used for MM's bourbon. We bought a loaf. It was under proofed and under baked. (See photo). Bad crumb make me grumpy. I wish I had passed. "When I read about the evils of drinking I gave up reading." ~ Henny Youngman. read more

Ask the Community - Maker's Mark Distillery
Do you have different closing hours during the summer months ie. July?
Where is a good place to stay the night? I'm looking for easy transportation to and from. Are there any hotels that offer a shuttle?
The nearest town is Bardstown which has a lot of hotels. We actually stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and is new and very nice. You will likely need a car to get to Bardstown unless you can find a tour bus service. I would Google to see if a tour…
Can you bring well behaved dogs?
Dogs are not permitted on the tours. You may be able to walk them around the parking lot, but once you enter the tour grounds they are not allowed.
I have a three year old. Will he be totally bored out of his mind?
Not necessarily. The grounds are beautiful, babbling brook and all. The inside of certain buildings are very cool with rock walls and stacks of barrels. It's unique so it may captivate a little ones interest for awhile.
Best place after your to have lunch?
They have an amazing restaurant on site Starhill Provisions. You HAVE to stop there for lunch its so GOOD! https://www.facebook.com/StarHillProvisions/
