Angel's Envy
"My wife is a big fan of Angel's Envy Rye, so it was only fitting that our first distillery tour was at Angel's Envy. We did the Private Select tour that lasts an hour. Kelsea was a super smart and engaging tour guide. Loved her energy and how interactive she made the tour. Like all distillery tours, the tour walks you thru the production steps. I found the facility to be spacious, beautifully designed with awesome signage. As someone who loves technology, the new bottling/labeling line was fun to watch. They can produce almost 50K bottles daily. For our tasting, we tried three types of bourbon. The first was used to prep our mouth and senses for the next two tastings. We also had chocolates that came alive when tasted with the bourbon. If you are fortunate to have Kelsea as your guide, make sure you spell her first name correctly in any review. Her awesome presentation was worthy of a nice tip, which we happily shared as we left the boardroom. In the retail store on the main level, pick up a bottle and have your name inscribed for $10. A neat keepsake for any visit.#angelsenvy"
Elkhorn Tavern
"I had to stop by here to experience a little bit of bourbon during my visit to Lexington. I'm not a huge bourbon drinker, but wanted to try out some options. The bartender working that day was brand new and the other one had called off so she was on her own while still learning. Overall, she was very sweet and did a good job. I went ahead and ordered the County Judge to drink which had some orange juice and other items in it. It was pretty good. I was intrigued by the Elkhorn burgoo so I had to try it! It came out very quick and it was very hot. I enjoyed it. I really liked the ambiance in here. There were a mix of tables, sofas, and chairs."
