The owner, Ally, is super sweet and well informed on her wares and always has good suggestions if wanted. Prices are very reasonable and you can get lots of options at the $10-15 mark.

Often regular 1-2 checkout associates so be kind/patient to them. I'd assume it's family run business by some of the hours they say to work (could be alone). Prices can be higher but quality of conversation and convenience within the area 2-4 miles, accuracy of knowledge to what they sell. They will get you stealing, and post your photo (selfie) on the door (HA! HA!). I rate 4 stars because they do close early occasionally. The google/maps hours state until 9pm (Monday-Saturday). However door hours are listed Monday-Thursday 9pm, Friday and Saturday till 12pm. Also it's extremely clean! Late hours issue (sorry I didnt take a picture) Another driver and I were into the parking lot by 11:30, 3/8. Doors locked, open sign off, drive through blacked out. I assume no business for a few hours was an anomaly and save on overhead pay, let the workers go home! I'd definitely recommend stopping in for yourself for more personalized conversation, supporting a smaller store. Again it's very clean, every bottle is organized to its face, attention to detail is great!

I'm doing some business travel to Kentucky, and have been visiting some distilleries. Although not…read morebig and flashy, Glenn's Creek was one of the best experiences I've had (visited last weekend). The distillery is a functioning distillery, and not made up to look pretty, but the spirits they produce are outstanding (based on our limited tasting). They are doing some creative things with grain bills (oats?), but my favorite was Swheat, a really drinkable wheated bourbon. But the highlight of the experience was the owner, David Meier. He's sardonic, sarcastic, and irreverent, but funny as hell! He's also a wealth of information about the mechanics, chemistry, and history of distilling in Kentucky (this one is in the former Old Crow distillery). It was entertaining and informative to hear him talk as we sampled his wares. For an out-of-the-ordinary distillery experience, but one that is truly fun and educational, I would recommend Glenn's Creek highly.

One of the best distillery visits ever. Don't be put off by all the kitchy Australian-themed decor,…read morelike the kangaroo statue in front (selfie op), the koalas on the gin bottles, and the attempt at an Australian accent by the non-Australian bartender. (The owner is Australian but not the bartender.) You get used to it. There were a few preselected tasting flights offered. I don't know if the customer can choose their own selection but I wouldn't be surprised. They seemed pretty accommodating, letting me sample a couple of gins for free (but this was after I spent over $150 on bourbons). The bartender gave me so much info (tasting notes, history, etc.) before I even decided on my flight. I was really intrigued by the gins but I was in Kentucky for whiskey so I got the premium flight that features their higher end bourbon and whiskey offerings. Pretty expensive at $30 but it was 5 1/2-ounce pours so that's a lot of product. After getting my flight I took it to one of the tables to relax, sipping and comparing, reading my book, and enjoying the ambience. Such a pretty, colorful interior, the metal building spruced up with natural wooden tables, neon signs, and the large bar area with its dark purple walls, granite countertop and artfully illuminated bottles. The music soundtrack was great, eclectic and varied. A sign said scan the QRC for the soundtrack, so it's apparent they put some real thought into it. During the 1/2 hour or so I was there I was visited by no less than 3 staff members plus my original bartender, asking how I liked the bourbons, etc. Not just to be polite. They all asked probing questions: which one is my favorite, what do I taste, how do they compare, etc. All this attention was surprising (too many staff on a slow day?) but welcome, and forced me to contemplate what I was drinking more carefully. I liked everything and couldn't decide on one so I ended up with two 375ml bottles. One was the Cigar Lounge, 9 years, finished in barrels used for Cognac, Amburana, Jaca, Madeira, and Maple. One of the visiting staff suggested I take it into the humidor and try it again because it "really changes it." I'm not a cigar smoker but the wood-lined, walk-in humidor was pleasantly aromatic and I guess it did change the taste of the whisky, not that it needed any improvement. After finishing my flight it was time to eat. There's a resident food truck on premises (Billibong Provisions) selling Australian meat pies and not much else. I moved to the outside seating area and got a chicken/vegetable. It was very good with a flaky buttery crust and ample filling. And the iced coffee I had with it was excellent too. I was really intrigued by their gins. They offer 5 kinds, all made with different blends of Australian herbs. Each label featuring a cartoon koala engaged in different leisure activities (at a bbq grill, on a surfboard, chilling in a hammock, etc.) Having consumed over 2 ounces of spirits I couldn't do another flight though I really wanted to. But the bartender gave me two micro-pours for free. (She would have kept going but I reluctantly stopped her.) One was the RBF (Resting Beach Face), made with salt bush, oyster shell, sea parsley, and Tasmanian peaberry. Yummy. All the descriptions were so intriguing. Wish I could have tried them all.

It's Australian-themed, veteran-owned, and has exactly the kind of atmosphere that makes you walk in planning to have one drink and leave wondering how you became emotionally attached to a distillery. The whiskey is seriously good, the people make you feel like an old friend, and there's always a reason to come back (plus they often have their dogs representing- BONUS). If you like great bourbon, great conversation, and a place with actual personality, Larrikin is absolutely worth the stop. Fair warning though folks, one visit may result in a permanent addition to your bourbon travel itinerary.

On another note, all employees have been great each time I've been in.
