Old Forester Distilling Co.

We had a great time on the tour. The guide was great! Lots to see, lots of history and the barrel making and charring of the barrel was very cool to see! The tasting experience was also great! We will come back again with family and friends.

Good experience. The gift shop was great and the tour was, well, a tour. I was excited to see the home of one of my favorite bourbon but I left wishing I had more of an up-close experience on the tour. It's more friendly to families and I suppose a "safer" tour than some of the ones that take you right into the process rooms, but thats what I was looking for. All in all im glad I went!

My wife and I visited the Old Forester Distillery in Louisville, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the tour itself was top-notch. The gentleman who led our group was incredible—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the craft. The tasting was both elegant and informative, giving us a real appreciation for the different expressions of Old Forester. We capped things off with a stop at the gift shop, where we picked up a bottle of their single barrel, barrel strength bourbon—a perfect souvenir to remember the visit. Highly recommend this distillery to anyone visiting Louisville. Whether you’re a bourbon enthusiast or just curious, Old Forester delivers an unforgettable experience.

Fantastic Tour! Gifted my boyfriend a tour, and we absolutely loved it! Our tour guide, Bob, was phenomenal - top notch. He knew his stuff! Going into the barrel room, seeing how barrels were made, learning the history of the FIRST bottled bourbon was for sure our highlight! The tasting at the end was accompanied by their modjeskas in the gift shop - I was over the moon. Especially as someone who does not drink bourbon! There’s something for everyone! Highly recommend adding to your list (of the couple tours we had this was our favorite!)

A very special thanks to Trish and Kendrick. They are fun and knowledgeable. Not only did we learn about whiskey, but also cooping, which I was not as familiar with. A gorgeous sight, a long history (for bourbon haha) and yummy whiskey. Don’t skip the Modieskas ;)

Great tour and great tour guide! Old Forester was unique in that we got the see the cooperage (barrel making) side as well. Such a cool property right on whiskey row. Highly recommend checking it out if staying in downtown and looking for a cool bourbon trail tour to check out without leaving Louisville.

Must do tour. Interesting, engaging and educational. Really enjoyed the employee interaction and time they take to talk about what they do and connect with visitors. Super fun and worth the $. Thoroughly enjoyed! The tasting yielded a new favorite whiskey too.

The Goodness Never Varies tour was phenomenal, and was interesting to see the barrels being assembled and charred. Logan was great, as was the staff in the gift shop. They were super helpful and nice, and made our visit to the Old Forester Distillery enjoyable. Thank you!
