    I'm not a sake connoisseur but I love Void's sake expressions. Bartenders are super friendly and helpful. Sake is delightful. Always a wonderful experience.

    Ok... take a break from the beer and Bourbon. Sake is a Japanese brew not distilled. There is a difference. I cannot explained n in a goofy review. It's an experience you need to do. Heck... step outside the box and do something different. Ya gotta experience life beyond the borders of your limited knowledge. Great stuff!!! See Brandon for your tour excellent experience and Nemo for your bar visit!

    Went to Void Sake Distillery while in Lexington for a concert. The tour was very informative. The distillery is a very small one but sure is good. We tried about 6 different sakes from a basic to a orange, a cinnamon, a coffee flavored and a squid ink/ lemon flavored. They also have flavored sake seltzers. They were all very good and we ending up buying several bottles. Some of the best sellers are sold in Liquor Barn and Total Wines in Louisville. They also ship to Indiana and Kentucky.

    A cool place, great Sake for Lexington! Clear was OK, Njgori was great, the Tangerine Creamsicle was an awesome twist! Check it out!

    Void sake is one of my favorite places in Lexington. It is a sake distillery with lots of fun sake options from junmai to nigoris. Also they have some excellent flavors. My favorite is The Shining One which is a Tangerine Creamsicle (think orange Creamsicle). Another favorite is the Nameless Mist. I also love the sake seltzers and sake slushies as they have great flavor and are excellent for summer. The atmosphere is cool, chill and laid back. They also have great events. For example I attended a pottery class which was so much fun. There are also yoga classes and trivia. Food trucks also stop by. Finally the staff and owners are very friendly. Always willing to chat and tell you about the sake.

    The tour and tasting was fun and informative. Book online for convenient scheduling. Outdoor seating available, sakes, a local collaborate IPA and seltzers on tap, plus two flavors of slushies! Something for everyone! Cozy atmosphere, very chill vibes, great out of the mainstream place to take a deep breath and relax a minute.

    This is a cool addition to the drank scene in Lexington. We've seen their bottles popping up around town and wanted to come in and try out everything! I'm a sucker for a cool label. We did a few flights to try out everything on the menu and the bartender was very helpful, personable, and knowledgeable. The Harbinger and the Shining One were my favorites but we also really enjoyed the sale based seltzer's and I think they will be a hit in the summer. Definitely come check this place out and grab a bottle or two for your next sushi night!

    Joe and Patty Rice are the best host. We did a tour with Joe and he introduced us to the saki making process. Patty then gave us the best run down of all the make. We left there living Saki.

    This is one of 22 Sake distilleries in the USA. I have to say soon as I saw that Joe was doing this, I was shocked and excited. Everything this man touches turns to gold. I could barely wait until he started bottling. This past Sunday me and some friends saw that he was open for bottle service. We went in and bought all three of his unfiltered bottles of sake. It was cool kind of feeling like a part of history being made. Kentucky distilled sake. It was so good and smooth. The texture on your tongue and the scent in your nostril as you exhale after the first drink. It was outstanding. I didn't purchase the coffee one, but I did get the unfiltered and the fruity one. I can't wait to get some Sushi and bring home so I can have a great dinner with this hometown sake. Thank you Joe for being an awsome man with a great product. You make me really proud to know you. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to buy more and sample all of your flavors. Go check him out guys and gals. You won't regret it.

    This was a very unique tour experience. And in a good way! I have been on a bunch of bourbon tours…read moreat distilleries. This was by far one of the most memorable. From getting to taste the mash, to the whiskey, right off the steel, and then the thumb right out of the barrel to try and barrel proof. It was an amazing tour. Our guide was very engaging and had lots of great stories. I would highly recommend this to her if you're in the Lexington area

    After reading so many positive reviews and recommendations, this was a "must-try" distillery for…read moreme. I made reservations in advance for the last tasting on a Saturday. If you're unfamiliar with the area, the distillery is located in the New Distillery District, which has several other local establishments, including bars and restaurants. On a Saturday, the area can get very crowded, and parking may be difficult to find. It was also a little confusing to locate the entrance to the distillery, and we actually had to call to figure out where the front door was. Fortunately, we found it just in time for our tour. Our tour guide, Slaid, started off by providing us with a ton of interesting historical information, which I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, as the tour continued, his demeanor seemed to change and came across as somewhat mean and arrogant. For the tasting, we were provided with glass shot glasses, which I thought was a nice touch. At one point, Slaid told us that if we didn't like something, we could pour it on the ground. I happened to be standing next to an open, empty barrel and jokingly asked if he meant that I should pour it there. His response was abrupt: "No, I never told you to do that!!" I was yelled at like a child. It was an awkward interaction. There were also a few moments where he was quick to call out other guests. For example, when someone was standing slightly near a display case, he loudly told them not to be anywhere near it. While I understand wanting to protect the displays, the way it was communicated felt unnecessarily harsh. Overall, I really enjoyed the historical information and appreciated the take home glass tasting glasses. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the tour guide's demeanor or the bourbons themselves. One other thing that I found a bit off-putting was receiving a message the following day asking us to tip our tour guide. None of the other distillery tours we experienced during our trip did this, so it felt somewhat unusual and, honestly, a little tacky. There were definitely some positives to the experience, but based on the tour itself, the bourbon, and the overall interaction with our guide, it wasn't one of my favorite stops.
