"Located in Loretto, this iconic distillery is set on grounds designated a National Historic Landmark; tours let visitors explore the property and partake in the signature hands-on experience of dipping their own bottle in the distinctive red wax. Because the site is fairly remote from Louisville, overnight stays are often recommended, and the family's Samuels House—a 200-year-old Federal-style home stocked with whiskey memorabilia—is an option for visitors seeking a deeper connection to the brand's history." - Kara Newman
