Kentucky Artisan Distillery

Went to Kentucky Artisan Distillery in Crestwood. Our tour guide Hugh was very informative and knowledgeable. The samples were very good, we even got a sample of the rum barrel bourbon. Great experience.

This is a small and young distillery off the beaten path. The tour is not too long - their distillery is located in an old ice cream distribution warehouse. The distillery is not big and we were there when they weren't distilling so it was very quiet. The tour guides are mostly retired enthusiasts who are very personable. The bourbon offerings are not high proof but they do have one unique product offering and that's a bourbon that is aged in Kentucky for 3 years and sent on a ship for another 8-9 months (still in its barrel). It passes the equator 4 times. We tried 2 different sailings and the 32 barrel pick was excellent. Nice tour to add to any Bourbon Trail experience and loved the novel product.

Jefferson's is some of my favorite bourbon. It's always been tasty, and amazing, and this tour just cemented it.First off - Bunghole Patty. She was AMAZING. Funny, friendly, she was informative and kept us laughing. She had our group nailed.It's a simple place - I won't bore you on tastes, either you like bourbon (and if you do, you should swing by), or you don't, in which case, it's not for you!I won't tell you the histories, the shark tracking, the voyages of the bourbon - that's all in depth on the tour.Just know - the bourbon is good, the tour is short, sweet, informative and fun.Then you can go down the street to see the three forest trolls, or go the opposite way and get a beer and a bite!

Awesome tour! Laura was Very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about how bourbon was made

We've been touring distilleries through KY...this tour was exceptional, intimate, and highlited the unique contributions KAD makes to the industry. Once Jefferson leaves wondering what the next big thing will be!

This is a very nice small local distillery. It was my first time to visit and I went looking for some Christmas gifts for family. They have a complete stock of all their varieties of Bourbons. I had heard about the select Oceans bourbon and decided to make it my choice for gifts. It has one of the most unique stories of how it's aged (at Sea) than any other bourbon I've heard of. My family is going to love it.

Excellent tour and tasting. First distillery we had ever visited. Great introduction, and it was a bonus the Reserve was our bourbon of choice prior to visiting. Ocean is now the go to!

This is a very small distillery, but it has a quaint, cozy little tasting room. Our guide was entertaining and informative. He was able to answer every question thrown at him. His knowledge and experience was helpful. They gave you quite a bit more to taste than many distilleries. I enjoyed seeing and tasting Jefferson's, the primary brand they produce. The downside is that they do not serve the alcohol they produce on site. Also, there's no food. So it's more of an educational experience than a social one.

Very neat experience! The entrance is unique. We enjoyed learning about the voyage the jefferson ocean takes.

Tour was interesting and informative. Bob was very informative and fun. We had a great time and the tasting was eye awakening. Loved it!
