By far my favorite tour on the trail! My tour guide was very acknowledgeable and was able to answer every question not only I had, but others on the tour... read more had. The place is so beautiful through and through. Loved the tasting at the end, right down to the set up. I have already been recommending this place to all my friends!

  This place was physically pretty with manicured grounds. Check in was fine and the gift shop had some souvenirs. There was a small tasting area set up in... read more the gift shop, but ODDLY they didn't feature all of the bourbons/whiskeys offered at Lux Row?! That was a disappointment, as there were two I wanted to try that were not part of the tour nor the bar (which you access after the tour).

No need to arrive that early, as you can't really roam the premises/there's nothing informative to explore on your own. I believe Lux Row offers two or three experiences; we took the tour. The tour annoyingly started with the large group (larger than most tours we took) piling into a room where we watched -- what seemed like -- a promotional video. It was pretty stupid, not what I drove to Kentucky for, and THE WORST WAS everyone sat on randomly scattered stools. I'm short and was stuck in the back so I couldn't see a darn thing. They couldn't pour any money into theatre-style seating?!???

The tour was fine. Our tour guide Katelyn was nice and knowledgeable; I really don't want to be rude but she just was not our style. It's fine that was probably 22 but she had a sorority girl voice and kept saying everything was "cool" or "neat". Nothing about her delivery seemed natural and often she would make comments that seemed totally contrived, like "if I'm entertaining this is my go-to liquor". Again, I'm not trying to be mean but what does a 22 year old know about entertaining? It just felt and sounded SO FAKE. We took another tour from an equally young gentleman but he was likeable, laid back, made jokes and Katelyn was the exact opposite. In fact, she was the worst guide we encountered during our long weekend in KY.

To me, this also felt like a bad Disneyland tour. Katelyn spoke over a crackling microphone so it honestly felt like a disingenuous experience. Then you learn that the family who started Lux Row and CEOs all live in St. Louis and rarely visit the facility (according to our guide they were "soooo busy"). You learn that while everything is aged in Bardstown NOTHING is bottled here nor are the barrels made in the area (like most other distilleries). Even the "chocolate pairing" that comes with the tour are chocolates from New Jersey?!????!!!!!

The tasting was in an area with seating for all, but other bar patrons are in the large, open room so all the sound echoes and I had a difficult time hearing Katelyn as the group behind us got louder. Stupid design if you ask me. We sampled 4 liquors, but missed out on 4 remaining liquors, including the namesake Lux Row bourbon. Dumb marketing and I'll never buy since they're not offered on the tour, in the gift shop, nor anywhere.

Anyway, there's just NOTHING unique about this tour, nor the process, nor the products. If you've taken any other distillery tour in KY this will be repetitive and boring. The one plus was going into a rickhouse, something not every other tour offers.

Save yourself the money and go somewhere in Louisville. There are plenty of better experiences, guides and bourbons to sample elsewhere!

  Such an interesting tour, loved the tasting, and our guide Annabell was knowledgeable and fun! Will be back

  We stopped to visit this new distillery on Feb. 19, 2020. The facility still has the new look to it and the staff was very friendly. There were... read more very few guests there on this Wednesday so our tour ended up being just the two of us and Kasey (hope that's how you spell it) as our guide. She gave us an excellent tour of the facility and the products they produce. Her knowledge of the bourbons was excellent and she led a wonderful tasting for us. We would do return trip when we are in that area again.

  Excellent tour and very informative. Beautiful grounds. My husband and enjoyed the small tour group and was able to taste products we can find in Florida

  Conner was great tour guide could hear every word he said and was very knowable about the whole process!!!

  Have been to lots of tour/tastings, this one is definitely one of the best. While Lux Row site is very new, they have done an excellent job of branding... read more it.

Our tour was very nice even with the stills down. Very nice facilities and tour guide.

Tasting at the end was well done, chocolates with each tasting was a great touch.

Definitely one to put high on you bourbon trail list!

  What an amazing experience we had at Lux Row Distillery! We began our tour with a video to learn about the history of Lux Row. Then we took our tour.... read more We had a lot of questions and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the distillery.

We went to another distillery the following day and it didn’t compare. The staff was unfriendly and they left very little time for questions. It was so crowded that we seemed rushed at times.

At Lux Row, we looked around the gift shop that was loaded with many fabulous items, sipped great samples, and enjoyed the beautiful grounds.

Lux Row has a warm and friendly atmosphere, with a professional staff that knew how to handle a crowd, AND served great bourbon! Don’t miss it!

  This distillery is very new, and owned by a large alcohol company, but they have a great Marketing team, beautiful facilities, and a nice but small selection of Bourbon.... read more When you enter, you'll be taken to a small media room and shown the history of Lux Row. On our tour, we were actually joined by Mrs. Lux and her dog, which was an added bonus.

The 3 bourbons we tried were very good, especially the Rebel Yell Ginger, which is good for cocktails.

The entire facility is new and great for weddings/celebrations.

  Nice building with a great tasting room. We were not overly impressed with the quality of their bourbons, but this is still a good stop on the trail.
