I attended the new Tour and Tasting offered by Casey Jones Distillery. I arrived for the tour a…read morebit early, and was awaiting the arrival of my friend who was accompanying me on the tour. Once he arrived, we headed inside. We were greeted outside the doors though, which was a warm welcome that you don't often see anymore. Nice touch! We entered the gift shop area and were directed where to check in for a tour. Troy was exceptionally helpful in explaining what the tour would entail, and he provided each of us with a small bag with a keepsake shot glass and other pamphlets. Once the tour started, I was pleased to see that Troy would be a tour guide. Troy began by escorting us into the social room that is available to large groups and gave us some great insight into the history of the property, and how the back landscaped area came into being. I was very impressed at how clean the facility was, and how immaculate the outside back area appeared. Looks like a great place to sit and sip bourbon! Troy then took us over to the old manufacturing area that houses the original still built by AJ, the Master Distiller. Troy gave us the history behind Alfred Jones, and how the 'Casey' moniker came into being. He described in detail how Casey had perfected his moonshine recipe, but was eventually caught and sent to a minimum-security prison twice for his bootlegging efforts. Troy imparted to us how the family worked to become legal, and how the distilling of bourbon came to fruition. We also had a the opportunity to sample some newly distilled bourbon that was colorless (White Lightning!). It packed a punch and was not a beverage you'd want to sip on regularly! We then visited the recently constructed production building, thanks to a $2 million capital investment that has allowed this fine distillery to grow. Troy told us about differing recipes, and how the four key grains (corn, barley, rye, and wheat) enter into the equation to produce varying spirits. WE had the opportunity to go up on the catwalk to see the enormous vats, and the actual copper cookers that were adjacent to those tanks. I asked where the cookers were manufactured, but Troy was not aware. Not a huge deal, but might be something to have on hand in the future (made in the good ol' USA!). We concluded the tour by returning to the main building from where the tour started, and had the opportunity to try a small taste of bourbon aged in amburana-wood barrels. Absolutely delicious, and my friend's favorite! WE finished the tour by having a small sampling of the distilleries offerings, to include bourbon, moonshine, and and (the name escapes me, forgive me) a spirit to make margaritas! We found the entire experience to be well-worth the drive (I came from Clarksville, and my friend from White House) and would whole-heartedly recommend! My friend and I have done the tours at MB Roland and Old Glory, but our favorite remains Casey Jones'. I will bring my son and his wife out next time they visit from Wisconsin! Thank you to AJ, Peg, Troy, and the entire crew at CJ. :)

As we you entered the store we were greeted by a kind lady at the counter asking how she can help.

He was so congenial. Sat and spoke with us while answering all my questions. He's just the type of guy that you can really connect with and become instant friends! The pride he takes in his moonshine and process along with the quality and taste is beyond any I've tried.

He came on time to pick up us. We weren't quite ready, but he waited patiently. There were 7 of us. We rode in the immaculate white Explorer. We were a little cozy, but it was fine. Fred was very accommodating, flexible, friendly, helpful and kind. One of my grandsons is handicapped and he was very helpful with him. Let him ride in the front with him and helped with his walker. We were allowed to bring snacks and water which we indulged in between stops. He dropped us off at the door and we did not see him again until it was time to move on to the next stop. One of the wineries was closed for a wedding so he substituted another winery on the opposite side of the tour we were doing, but were interested in because the winery has a store in our town that we go to often. We had a great time! If you are in doubt, go for it. We met his wife, Heidi, at one of the stops and I am sure she would be just as good.

She pointed out that they use as much local stuff as they can and NO GMO stuff. It was a small area to tour but they have big plans. The site was clean and organized. It was neat seeing all the stages of the process and learn a little bit of why they feel they are good and unique. After chatting we went in the tasting room. There were some cubbies with product to purchase but first we talked about all the different whiskies and bourbon. I'll save the tale of why they don't call the product moonshine for when you go by and ask. ;-) I enjoyed all the samples though some were just not for me. I appreciated learning about how each came about and how the formulas were tweaked to what they are today.
