Boundary Oak Distillery

I learned about this Distillery from The Bourbon Trail passport book. I haven't visited many of them but, I may make that a New Years Resolution lol. This Distillery is located between Radcliff and Elizabethtown Kentucky off the Joe Prather Highway. There is private parking parking in the front and back. The inside is warm and welcoming. Since I been here twice already I didn't have to watch the educational video again like I did the first time about bourbon and how it came about. It was a very informing video I will say. They also do tastings every 15 minutes with different groups. I was by myself and got some one on one education about the Bourbons. I love that they are very military friendly being close to Fort Knox. My guide did the tastings a certain way so basically the strongest bourbon was saved for last. I will let anyone reading this review find out for themselves about how educational they are. I will say my favorite one is the St. Luke (lavender scent/flavor). It's like drinking aroma therapy lol. This is definitely worth a visit. I even remembered to get my book stamped.

We ran across this distillery by chance and were glad we did! The staff was so welcoming and passionate about their products. We really enjoyed the tasting - including learning the right way to drink moonshine! They had a great variety of products-whiskey, moonshine, and wine - and a fun range of whiskeys including cinnamon and lavender (which sounded terrible but were delicious!). Such a fun detour.

Weird parking situation. You have to park out back where I thought employees would be parking. There is no other place to park and not exactly an intuitive or easy path to get to the front doors. A weird complaint but it was kind of strange. Once inside, walked around in a few different parts before anyone came to greet me or acknowledge my arrival.No bar for drinks only paid tastings. They have a tribute bottle to 82nd Division based out of North Carolina but not a bottle for the 101st Division based on Kentucky... strange and a little disrespectful. Overall a nice interior, but wasn't impressed. Maybe it was just my experience, but I can't in good faith recommend this place.

The atmosphere was okay, although they had no AC yesterday. They have most of their products available for purchase at the distillery. Staff were friendly.

Real small for a distillery, but I liked the place. The tour was much better than the Jim Beam one. The thing that the Beam distillery has is that it has a name, a huge size, and it is very well decorated. But their tour is very expensive and boring. The Boundary Oak tour was much better. Their tasting tour was much cheaper, longer and better. I learned a lot more about bourbon and Boundary history. The have the most beautiful bottles ever. Very well thought out. AND they support the military with their unit associated bottles. They have a movie playing, which Beam distillery does not and they have nice swag to buy. I would not mind going again.

We didn't expect much but this was a fantastic choice. Dustin was an awesome host and guide. Not much to tour but they put on a good show, explain everything in detail and the tasting is great. I'd recommend.

July 14,2020 - Our first day on the Bourbon Trail was Boundary Oak Distillery. It was a beautiful day and a delight. Tours are free. I love that they gave you a bottle of free hand sanitizer they made there! Love! The tour guides, Preston & Tonya, were very friendly and the movie was my favorite part of the tour. They give a military discount on Non Alcohol Products. The tasting was $8 but they let you sample everything they made in the distillery. Active duty military - free. 7 drinks for $8. This is a good deal. I sampled everything neat. The BADDapper Gin: ugh! The worst...I hated the gin and took only one sip. I hate wasting alcohol but I threw the rest away. It tasted like medicine- metallic and bitter. The SO-SO:BLACKHORSE 1901: So-So - Artwork on bottle impressive!So so - easily forgettable. It tasted ok. The artwork on the bottle made more of an impression.This 8-year, 80-proof, American Whiskey pays tribute to the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment known as Blackhorse. The Blackhorse Association was founded in 1969 and incorporated a year later. Troopers of this regiment have bravely dedicated their lives to protecting America's freedom and have served unswervingly in the Philippines, Cuba, Mexico, WWII, Vietnam, Border Legion, Iraq and NTC.Patton Armored Diesel: Strong Stuff - I loved the story about this bottle of whiskey!No bueno yet better than Dapper Gin. I drank all of it. It hits you hard. The story about it is better than the bourbon whiskey. One of the first armored officers of the United States Army, General G.S.Patton, Jr. is believed by many to be the father of modern armored warfare. He expressed his admiration for the armored division through acts meant to instill camaraderie and pride within the troops he commanded. One such act was the creation of a special drink for his beloved Armored Divisions called "Armored Diesel."Lincoln Straight Bourbon - Very Strong! I loved the picture of Abraham Lincoln on it. It was too strong & intense for me though.The story:Boundary Oak Distillery introduces its newest straight bourbon. This uncut bourbon is connected to the legendary, historic Abraham Lincoln - 16th President of the United States - who is well-known to Central Kentucky and well-respected by the nation and the world! This straight bourbon has been aging to its maturity in charred white oak barrels and is ready to be enjoyed responsibly.The BESTCinnful 69: My favorite and only $20. It was spicy yet sweet. I bought it and had dreams of drinking it neat on a cold winter day.A cinnamon whiskey that tasted like candy and was very easy to sip. I loved this drink more than the overpowering fireball. I imagined putting this in a hot apple cider or tea in winter.My Old Kentucky Home Bourbon Whiskey: Very smooth and easy to drink.St Luke: Sweet, pretty, and makes a nice Moscow Mule.A lavender bourbon drink: Beautiful bottle. Very sweet and feminine. It was inspired by 15th century European tradition in which young girls would drink a lavender tea and pray to St. Luke in hopes of receiving a dream revealing the identity of their true love. That legend is described on the bottle's rear label. It's made from real lavender - a lavender tea that's then blended with bourbon and allowed to mingle for a few days in a traditional white oak barrel to create the 60 proof product. After it's bottled, the lids and neck of the bottle will be sealed by dipping it in a lavender-colored wax.

The staff and arrangements they have made for guests here were very accommodating and pleasurable experience. Cool theater to view the history, cool gift shop and neat Lincoln historic tree in their lobby. Tastings were pretty cool. Management Question: When we visited the business on July 14, 2020, we observed you had three flag poles out front with no flags flying. What gives? The employees eluded to not knowing why they were not flying. Is it a political statement or for fear of the flags being damaged? Gotta say, it affected my experience. Please let us know. Thanks.

Had never heard of Boundary Oak but it's on the Bourbon trail so we went. There isn't a tour available. Just a tasting. You can see the process through glass a little bit. The lady who normally did the tastings wasn't available, so there was another guy helping out. He was very nice, but not as knowledgeable. And the whiskey was meh. We did buy a bottle of wine from them. If you're not worried about hitting every Distillery on the Bourbon Trail, I'd skip this one.

Loved the distillery and the bourbon! Linda was awesome! So welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable! Sampled some and left with a few bottles. So happy we stopped!
