Preservation Distillery

The bourbon- Rita is delicious!! The people are amazing and will help you. No food Ambiance is great

Hope all is well with these guys. Something seems off. I absolutely love their whisky so we planned a trip around a visit. They cancelled a few weeks before our trip, so no big problems. Supposedly a water leak. I don't really believe this as they certainly could have allowed us to purchase on the site. We did stop by and didn't see any work going on. Hope they open back up soon.

This was by far the best experience of our whole trip to Bourbon Country. The grounds are gorgeous. They have a cat, Char, who was super friendly and really stole the show. The tour was informative and you got to see everything. The tasting was great, even for this non-bourbon drinker. I tried everything. Our tour guide (Sam, I think) was funny and friendly. After some shopping in the store and at the bar, we shifted to picnic tables for our lunch. It was perfect weather to enjoy our picnic and drinks from the bar. The hardest part for my bourbon fiends was deciding what to buy! LOVE that this is woman-owned and operated. The story is amazing. It's a small operation and so it didn't feel like we were being rushed through anything. A definite must visit.

My father in law booked a tasting/tour at Preservation during our trip to Bardstown. The grounds are beautiful and we got a chance to see the long horn cattle (and the two new babies named soup and salad LOL). Kate was our tour guide and she was wonderful. Preservation is a woman owned distillery (heck yeah Marci), and Kate did a great job sharing the history of the farm, as well as all things bourbon. After a tour of the grounds, we went inside for the tasting. We got to try four different whiskeys. Kate taught us how to smell and taste the samplings. I never knew I had a dominant nostril?! We had sweet popcorn in between samples to cleanse the palette (if you have an allergy, let them know - the popcorn is cooked in peanut oil and you will get chocolate instead).They have a nice selection of goodies you can buy to remember your visit (shirts, hats, candles, cups, books, booze of course). Their bourbon leather candle smells soooooo good. I learned so much about bourbon on this little tour. It's smaller than the big name distilleries, but still very informative and fun! Highly recommend this place. Cheers!

We stopped to finish up our central craft distillery tour. Staff were very nice. Atmosphere was cool and well maintained. They are on the same level as willet for pricing of their products. We will be coming back for a tour in the near future.

This is a hidden gem of a distillery! The people that work here are VERY friendly and down to earth! Hannah is a top notch tour guide and we enjoyed having Char along with us! Chris will enjoy his Old Man Winter. Until next time.....love and thanks from Wyoming!!

My partner and I wanted to go on a distillery visit and decided to come here after reading great reviews. The distillery tour and grounds absolutely exceeded expectations! We love a woman-owned biz and a commitment to sustainability. I'm not a big bourbon drinker but I came away with a new appreciation for the process and the product. My partner loved the bottle of Old Saint Nick we picked up after trying it in the tasting. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing bourbon! Q is by far the best tour guide on the bourbon trail!! Was lovely to meet Char!

Visited with friends and had an amazing time. Small and mighty woman-owned distillery that is worth the trip. Our guide Hannah was knowledgeable, funny and excelled at bringing to life what makes this spot unique. Also, don't miss the coffee! As a woman, gotta say it was terrific not to hear any sort of "fellas, you know how your wife will feel about this" type of jokes that are so present at most other stops on the trail. It's subtle, because there was absolutely no bashing of any sort-more of an assertion that everyone does-and should-love bourbon. Highly recommend!

We just visited on Friday. Preservation is one of my favorite distilleries, they make several labels like Very Olde St. Nick, Wattie Boone, Rare Perfection, etc. The people are knowledgeable and friendly, and they serve cocktails and have a comfy living room type area where you can sit and enjoy your drink. They do great tours and tastings, but this was a last minute trip for us so we didn't book one. But we had a delicious honey peach cocktail, relaxed on the couch for a bit, and shopped in the gift shop where we found bottles that are impossible to get where we live. Nice way to spend a few hours on a Summer Friday afternoon!! Check it out.
