Barrel House Distilling

For ten bucks each we had a very entertaining tour here at this very small distillery. Marshall kept things interesting and then we got to try all of their products, from vodka to bourbon with gin and moonshine in between. Husband liked one of their moonshines enough to buy a small bottle.Everyone else swore that their vodka was super smooth but to my palate it was not. This is in the same complex as James E. Pepper, so you can hit up both places at the same time and learn about the history of it all.We also got a "prescription" for a dollar off a drink at the connected Elkhorn Tavern. Which we, of course, used :)

Had a great time with our guide Carol who was so sweet! Can't wait to check out their new facility once it gets built.

Great small craft distillery that shows you how you can adapt and take an older building and make it into an inviting oasis. Great job everyone.

When it comes to the tour, it's about an hour long, which is impressive, because you only go into 2 rooms (it's a craft distillery, not one of the big boys), but Del is the bomb tour guide. He is funny, informative and wants to answer any questions you may have. He has some great stories to share and has been in the distillery business for many years.Barrel House is about a 6 person operation, it's small, but they desire quality and want to bring the goodness of bourbon to the masses. The tour is worth the cost if you are big on learning about the bourbon process. If you are expecting some big production you'll be disappointed, this is a great distillery just stating to making a mark and win some awards, it's people that love the industry not the glitz and glamor. It's very cool seeing what they are doing and how they are going about making there name known. They have a really good store with lots of cool items, we purchased the bourbon trail field guide that shows you all the stops on the tail and a place to get a stamp at each location with information about each one, super cool. You can or course by bourbon and lots of swag and even pieces of bourbon barrels. The Elkhorn tavern (restaurant attached to the distillery) is a cool environment, but we felt the menu was lacking, so this is why we gave the review 4 stars instead of 5, there just weren't any thrilling items, to basic for our exploration of the unique. It's a great spot for sure and all the neighboring establishments are very cool is well, the complex has a lot to offer.

We booked a tour for a group of ladies celebrating a bachelorette party on a Saturday afternoon. Arrived early so we grabbed a drink at the (adjoining) Elkhorn tavern before beginning. We were greeted by our host, Jim and had a fantastic one hour tour of the facility. Jim was both knowledgeable and interesting, and held our attention throughout the tour. The tasting portion was a fun time! We enjoyed a sampling of all the Barrel House liquors. Jim was kind enough to take photos of (and with) our group after the tour commenced. 10/10. Highly recommend

We had the absolute best time at Barrel House Distillery! While it's the smallest tour we've done, it completely outshined the bigger distilleries. Del, our tour guide, was phenomenal--knowledgeable, engaging, and just pure joy to be around. The intimate setting and Del's passion made the experience so much fun. It's clear that Barrel House puts heart and soul into everything they do.If you're considering a distillery tour, don't miss this one! We'd give it 10 out of 10 and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable experience.

This place is fabulous! The moment we walked in we were greeted and offered food and drink menus. They broke $20 so I could press a penny. We order loaded nachos and they were delicious. The tour guide was great. He walked us through the tour and tasting. We got to try a whole array of the products they make. The gift shop is onenof my fav carrying the bottle and little things I like to collect. The ONLY down side was they dont offer customized bottle, and I love to customize a bottle, but I never count off on the experience if its not offered.

We booked a tour for 4 pm. Carol, our tour guide, was so incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. She encouraged us to get a drink from the connecting bar for the tour. It's not a lot of walking, 2 rooms with a lot of history involved to learn all about the distillery district. There's a tasting afterward to try the different things they make!

A great craft distillery tour. It was the first craft distillery tour that we took. It was really interesting to see the process on a smaller scale. The guide was super knowledgeable and entertaining. It was great to have the opportunity to try so many different spirits. The oak rum and the dark moonshine were favorites.

This is a great small craft distillery that should not be missed. You'll also be able to visit a couple of other distilleries in the same complex.
