At Lux Row, the first few rows of the rickhouse are removed, forming a small “lobby.” Standing here, you get to appreciate just how many barrels sit on the shelves of a rickhouse. The smell inside of a rickhouse is amazing…bourbon, vanilla, with hints of spice…it’s delicious. We took the one-hour tour and the visit to the rickhouse was one of the highlights. ![]() ![]() This was another one of our top experiences on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Lux Row produces Rebel Yell, Ezra Brooks, Blood Oath, and David Nicholson whiskeys. This is one of the newest distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. This makes the perfect souvenir to bring home. In the gift shop, you can personally hand-dip a Maker’s Mark bottle of bourbon in red wax. The entire tour was fascinating, entertaining, and dare I say inspiring? For one hour we walked through the property, learned the history behind the making of Maker’s Mark, tasted the sour mash right out of the distilling vats, and ended with a tasting. We took the first tour at 9 am on a chilly Saturday morning. One lane roads snake through the hills and farms, and Tim and I were wondering if we were going to the right place! Seemingly in the middle of nowhere is the beautiful property of Maker’s Mark. To get to Maker’s Mark you will drive through rural Kentucky. If you visit one distillery on the Bourbon Trail, make sure it is Maker’s Mark. The tour gives a fabulous insight to the making of bourbon, the property is gorgeous, the history behind Maker’s Mark is intriguing, and the bourbon is delicious. This was our favorite tour on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail for several reasons. For an amazing experience, make sure you visit Maker’s Mark. ![]()
