Glenns Creek Distilling

If you're looking for an intimate experience and perhaps a break from the craziness of the mega distilleries, I couldn't recommend this place enough. We were in a small group, sat down for a tasting with David, the owner/master distiller, and learned a lot of fascinating stories about his background, the facility, and of course his amazing bourbon.If you're reading this, ignore the haters. They obviously came in with a closed mind, no respect, and no sense of humor. Tbh, the hater's reviews on here were a big reason my wife and I visited, because to us it meant that the owner must have been passionate about his craft, and that - he was. We enjoyed David's presentation, the distillery, his product, and his jokes..ha.Go to this place! And thanks, David, for what you do. We'll be back!

Sketch. I swear banjos were playing in the background...These guys do bourbon (and other booze) their way and don't give AF about what others say. I liked it so much I bought a T-shirt. Friends bought some booze.

I think their motto says it all - Bourbon without the BS. A very down to earth distillery. Small in scale but large in passion. Located in an old distillery itself, the ambiance is part warehouse and part old school distillery. We stopped by and had a tasting the staff was very knowledgeable and gave open opinions. Their products were all very good. We left with a bottle of their rum.

I learned more here during a tasting with the distiller than I did visiting anywhere else over the course of 3 days touring distilleries throughout Bourbon Country. This is definitely a place to learn, but be sure to book in advance and don't bring anyone who doesn't like whiskey!

Best tasting I had on my trip to the Bourbon Trail. David did an outstanding job communicating about his products as well as an explanation about the bourbon industry as a whole. Excited to pop my bottles and enjoy some of Kentucky's bourbon.

Stopped in here to do a tasting. Tom on the bar was phenomenal! Friendly and had so much knowledge to share. The flight was reasonable so we got one each and tried all they had. 6 different whiskies and ryes. I kinda liked the a-maize-ing C.O.B. The most. The tasting area is full of cool stuff to browse and learn. Great stop and though it is not on the bourbon trail they will give you a stamp in the back of the book.

Tiny distillery that was the surprise of our bourbon trail journey. We visited Castle and Key, located just next door, and decided to see what this tiny distillery next door was all about.It is a small rickety building. Absolutely no street draw. Tiny tasting room. Their slogan is "Bourbon without the BS". This was one of my favorite selection of bourbons on our trip! They offer an all corn bourbon "A-maize-ing Cob" which is super smooth...not complex in flavor but crazy smooth. My favorite was the "Cafe Ole" which roasts the brewers malt (technique used to make Porter and stout beer) to bring a super amazing chocolate flavor!!!Don't expect a show.Don't expect a beautiful distillery with pristinely landscaped grounds. Don't expect to pay for the opportunity to taste their bourbon to determine what you want to buy. Don't expect any BS.DO EXPECT SOME BOURNON CREATIVITY LIKE YOU RARELY FIND. Do plan to buy some bottles because you won't find this tiny distillery distributed when you go back home.

A small operation in a very historic location. A refreshing experience to be able to sit with the founder and have an unscripted chat, while he pours prideful samples. They don't seem to desire becoming a large production distillery, as that would force them to change production concepts and techniques... would that be bad? Yes, after sampling their bourbon, I was sold, I'm thankful I found this gem. Don't pass up an opportunity to visit

A completely different bourbon experience! Would definitely recommend. We had a good time listening to his explanations about bourbon and his no BS approach. This is not a fancy place by any means. The power point slides really fit the ambiance of the distillery. Simple, no BS and to the point. What you see is what you get.

Small distillery but Loved the no BS motto the lady at the desk which I failed to get her name was very pleasant and explained the history of the distillery. Enjoyed the stop!!
