Bourbon producer offering tours, restaurant, & unique bottle dipping experience
"Maker’s Mark is noted alongside other major distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail as a prominent stop for bourbon enthusiasts." - CNT Editors
"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
"Known as one of the most beautiful distilleries on the trail, it features a restaurant called Star Hill Provisions and offers visitors the chance to hand dip their own bottle." - Jonah Flicker

"A Kentucky bourbon distillery whose family history and local environment are central to its identity: company leadership emphasizes how Kentucky oak, limestone-filtered water, and generations of technique contribute to the state producing the vast majority of American bourbon. The distillery’s spirit is also treated as a culinary ingredient—used to add complexity to dishes and sauces when applied thoughtfully." - Terri Ciccone
