Dope video man I love when you do this kinda stuff as a guy that doesn’t get much of any chance to go to these distilleries it’s really cool seeing it from your lens please keep doing them!
I love the tours because I honestly don't know when or if I will ever get time to go see great historic places like this. Gives me a great perspective.
I did the Jack Daniel's tour with my late wife in 2014 and really enjoyed it! I am medically unable to walk and go up and down the steps, so I personally enjoyed this Video! I enjoy your Bourbon Hunts too so maybe a Distillery Tour from time to time would be nice!
As an Aussie it's great to see the distilleries. It's mind blowing the different bourbons available to you. Don't think I've seen 95% of the bottles you show or pick up. But I have had Woodford double oak . Nice drop. Love all of your videos. Wish I could do the festival 😢😢😢
You can check out Wild Turkey Distillery in Lawrenceburg. They opened a new visitor's center earlier this year. The views are amazing, and you can see their care for the products.
I like everything you do. The tours are just fine with me. I toured WR when all they had a was the regular WR bourbon, nothing else. I drove there after touring MM. I just drove to WR and got in on a tour with my wife. We had to wait like an hour but that was cool. There wasn't the tasting bar across the street and all the other goodies back then. WR has changed but it's still beautiful. For anyone who hasn't been to a tour of a bourbon distillery I highly recommend WR. WR is in horse country near Lexington. The drive to get there is on back roads. You should get to see horses walking on all the farms. Its truly wonderful
Great video. I’ve been on that tour, one thing you can’t see on this video is absolutely how beautiful the grounds are and the horse properties on the way in. Well done
Love the tour videos, I live in California so I'm not sure when I'll be able to visit all of these distilleries if I ever do. Love to see these and learn the subtle differences from brand to brand.
love the tours. we get to see the little bit of the inside of our favorite distilleries. and hear a little bit from some of the tour guides and also your thoughts on the different parts of the distillery. can always sprinkle in some distillery tours in the middle of the bourbon hunting 👍👍
Yup, please schedule more tours of distilleries and the supporting businesses. Thanks for the video. As a disabled old man, I appreciate armchair travel opportunities.
Woodford was my 1st distillery tour ever. I was there this past June. I really appreciated what I learned about the bourbon making process from my tour guide. Double Oaked and Rye were my favorites.
Bottle Kill. Thanks for sharing tour footage like this. As someone new to bourbon and living in Canada, it's cool to see these tours and kind of behind the scenes. I just picked up a bottle of Woodford Double Oak to try. 🍻.
Brewzel, love the channel. As much as I enjoy the hunts I get more from the distillery visits. Each one I see learn a bit more and often it’s from places I’ve never heard of.Id love to see you have a q and a with the master distillers. Some of them are evil geniuses….
I enjoyed this video. I thought you did a good job of highlighting some things that you found interesting, while also not “ruining” the experience of someone doing the tour themselves. I feel like this is a good formula for doing UA-cam videos on distillery tours.
Smiling! Back in the 60's I worked in the log woods NW Arkansas. Sold a lot of white oak first couple cuts/bottom two without knots to a Stay Mill. Had to split them and load them by hand on the truck. Talk about a workout, I could fight a Sabretooth Wampus Cat and win. Big Smile! You could chew on the white oak and get a taste of whiskey. Moonshiners would char that white oak and put it in the quart glass jars and it would look like bourbon and taste awful, had to hose my nose to drink it and chase it with some pop. 17 dollars a gallon in 1967.
I personally really enjoyed learning about the triple coper pot distilled, as I had not heard that. Seems like they are the Irish Whiskey of Bourbon....? Whole new respect for Woodford Reserve. Excited to try there take on Rye! Great work as always BREW! Keep it up and THANK YOU!
Loved the video TJ! I enjoy the hunt videos as well. Keep up the great work. The WR Double Oaked is by far my favorite of the WR's that I've had. Haven't had the Rye yet, hope to soon!!
I really enjoyed the tour, please do more of these, I like watching something I prolly aint gunna get a chance to do myself. I did grab my bottle, made me some pours, and toured right along with you, of course not the same spirit, but I did really enjoy myself with your tour. Thanks again for taking us along for the ride.
Thanks for this video. My wife and I visited Woodford Reserve some years ago in our first ever bourbon distillery tour. We enjoyed the tour and enjoy the drink. This summer, though, we visited a craft distillery in the same general vicinity and the owner was questioning how WR could possibly be producing so much bourbon with what he considered to be too little distillation capacity. We then took note of the word "produced" rather than the word "distilled" on the bottle labels, but this video helped put that question to rest.
I enjoyed the tour recommend you do more of them enjoyed see the location and process. I did the tour many years ago they only gave you one small pour at end of tour the cost was $5.00
My Wife and I were at Woodford in March, We enjoyed the tour. Especially liked see the barrels roll down the rail system, and yes we had the same tour guide she is fun!, My wife especially like the Double Oaked cocktail at the bar across the street, Woodford is a beautiful distillery, We preferred it over Buffalo Trace.
Really enjoyed this place and the tour when I was there with family. They were sending some barrels down the tracks too while we were there. Pretty neat to see.
We did a cocktail class where Old Fashioneds with all of their standard whiskeys. They were phenomenal and they shared the recipes. We have made all of them at home,
Love this! A. I’m in Canada and my opportunities to get down to Kentucky for tours is limited. B. Love your content and always appreciate fresh ideas for the videos. Keep up the great work!
Good Video!! I’ll probably never get to go there so I’m glad you filmed as much as allowed and shared with us! Lots of interesting info and Woodford history that I didn’t know.
I love the idea of doing tour videos as part of your mix. I was at Woodford a month ago, but just hit the gift shop, and didn't do the tour. Highly recommend you do the Maker's Mark tour. Even if their product isn't your favorite, the grounds of Star Hill Farm are beautiful enough to make the tour enjoyable. Bardstown Bourbon Company is another great tour with a different focus.
We had jamie as a tour guide and he was first class! The most elegant tour we had on the trail. The Double Oaked old fashion with maple syrup and chocolate bitter was outstanding!
Woodford does have a nice facility for tours and tastings. Lux Row was one of my favorite tours as you got to pull a sample directly from the barrel. There is a cooperage in Bardstown that offers tours where you get to see barrels get charred and even have a chance to try to put one together.
I really like the distillery tour videos. I know I have about 3 1/2 years before I retire and can move to Tennessee before I will get to take a tour. Keep doing these videos.
Me being from Kentucky, I've done most of the bourbon trail distillery tours. If you get a chance do a master distiller tour. The insight, knowledge, and stories these people have makes it a true VIP experience.
@@gregg2448 The Bourbon trail is a promotion where you could get a book stamp for each distiller you toured. As far as the tours, online signup is how I've done each distillery.
Thanks for the video. Just did a tasting tonight among three of us and 8 different highly rated bourbons/whiskeys including three from BT distilleries and WRDO was number one. Pretty interesting consider the price differences. Need to get at least one backup of it now.
Been dodging Woodford Reserve as it's always labelled as "the every man's bourbon", I drank Irish for a good 10+ years before I gave bourbon a bit more of an honest shot outside the realm of JD. I've learned now, had many great bourbons and American whiskey in general is my go to, finding barrel strength is difficult in Europe at times but it is what I look out for the most. In any case, Woodford made it on my "should probably try once the occasion arrises" list due the triple distillation process and the wooden mash bills. I like it when distilleries do something that sets them appart from the rest. Appreciate the tour insights!
Big distillery videos aren’t bad , I prefer the small craft ones , but I wouldn’t mind seeing more bigger ones such as Buffalo Trace especially if you can get a tour with Freddie Johnson. I think the 2 of you would make great and interesting conversation. Wild turkey would also be a good one.
I did the "Spectacle for the Senses Tasting" at Woodford as my beginning of my Bourbon journey a few months ago. It helped kick things off teaching me how to pick out a few specific flavor notes in bourbon.
Thanks for the video. I really like the educational aspect and even if you only get one or two points of new information, it is still new information. I really enjoyed learning about how the Bourbons are made what makes them different. I really like to know what whiskeys are under $100 that are really good in most peoples minds because I’m not paying more than 100 bucks for a bottle of bourbon.
I did that tour, and several others. Not sure I ever want to do another tour of a distillery, brewery, or winery again! I love the hunting vids the most. Just my .02
Brewzle, I've been sober over 4 years now.. I was never a bourbon or whiskey guy... I pee a lots were my favorite. All this to say i really enjoy your channel. Hunting, education etc.. just enjoyable content!
$15,900 bottle! That’s just crazy! I wonder if it’s the best bourbon ever? It would have to be. Awesome video though TJ. This really makes me more interested in going on vacation and doing more tours like this. Lots of interesting things like those fermenting tanks they use. Excellent content and love everything you do. Thank you sir
A buddy of mine manages a liquor store in my area, he has a bottle of the 150th they mentioned. He told me he'd let it go for less than 15. My favorite WR product is the double oak. I just got a store pic I'm looking forward to opening soon.
If you ever make it over to the eastern side of the state, check out Dueling Barrels and Pauley Hollow! They both have tours and tastings and the backdrop of the mountains make it a beautiful time!
I have been on tours of Woodford numerous times, but not since 2021. I enjoyed this video of your tour. You forgot Bowman Bourbons are triple distilled, they get the distllit from BT and distill it again. Did you stop at Castle and Key? And just down the road is Glens Creek Distillery . Their O.C.D. #5 is made with a yeast strain they got from the fermentation tanks left there. It was an old Jim Beam Distillery when they made Old Crow. I enjoy tours and the history.
Next time you're in Frankfort, you should make it a point to visit Glenn's Creek Distilling. I think you'd really like it, and I know a conversation between you, Dave, and John would really delight your fans.
Woodford Reserve is one of my favorites! Ohio just did a "Buckeye Blend" which consisted of 10 different blends. I scored several bottles of #11 which was my favorite of the 4 I tried.
I had the same tour guide last September and got to see the barrels that were for the Baccarat release this year... they had two barrels with the lids painted red.
Love these tour videos! Really cool to see a US company using wood mash fermenters and triple pot stills. Hope you asked about getting a cask strength double oaked! haha

Hope life is nothing but good things from here on out, sorry to hear that. Glad this was a special memory you can enjoy about her for years to come :)
These are some of my favorite videos. Please never stop.

wish they would release a full proof double oaked

Yup, please schedule more tours of distilleries and the supporting businesses. Thanks for the video. As a disabled old man, I appreciate armchair travel opportunities.
Great video! Did this tour in 2019 I can’t believe they have doubled in size. Keep these videos going.
I liked the tour video a lot, I'm very new to whiskey and bourbon so it's cool to get an idea of how it's done.
Woodford was my 1st distillery tour ever. I was there this past June. I really appreciated what I learned about the bourbon making process from my tour guide. Double Oaked and Rye were my favorites.

Bottle Kill.

Awesome video keep it up! My bottle kill was Weller 107 after I found 2 more bottles at the grocery store last week!
I've been planning a trip to bourbon trail, i'm adding Woodford to my tour list. Thanks TJ!
My favorite videos of yours are these distillery tours, especially the smaller distilleries.
Brewzel, love the channel. As much as I enjoy the hunts I get more from the distillery visits. Each one I see learn a bit more and often it’s from places I’ve never heard of.Id love to see you have a q and a with the master distillers. Some of them are evil geniuses….

You did Woodford justice. This video is really revealing to how they put out good whiskey.
Enjoyed the tour and the break from Bourbon hunting. It is nice to see some of these distilleries.
I love the tour videos. Living vicariously through your videos. More please.
I enjoyed the tour recommend you do more of them enjoyed see the location and process. I did the tour many years ago they only gave you one small pour at end of tour the cost was $5.00

Great to be able to see behind the scenes a bit. Keep them coming when you can and thank you for changing things up.

Good Video!! I’ll probably never get to go there so I’m glad you filmed as much as allowed and shared with us! Lots of interesting info and Woodford history that I didn’t know.
Great Video TJ - I loved the tour and the new information - I went to Jack Daniels about 30 years ago - James from Little old England - more please
I love the idea of doing tour videos as part of your mix. I was at Woodford a month ago, but just hit the gift shop, and didn't do the tour.
Highly recommend you do the Maker's Mark tour. Even if their product isn't your favorite, the grounds of Star Hill Farm are beautiful enough to make the tour enjoyable.
Bardstown Bourbon Company is another great tour with a different focus.
Woodford Double Oak is one of my Favs. Bottle Kill keep em coming.
I'm all for watching the tours. At Four Roses, they said they fix leaks in those wooden fermenters with mop string.
We had jamie as a tour guide and he was first class! The most elegant tour we had on the trail. The Double Oaked old fashion with maple syrup and chocolate bitter was outstanding!
enjoyed the added side commentary on the tour. I'll keep watching these if you do more.
Keep doing tours. Very informative. Your tour guide was great.

I hope that you continue to make this kind of content. It is so informative and educational, it makes me appreciate the juice even more...
Love this TJ! I don’t know when I’ll ever get out to do this tour myself but I love Woodford Reserve so I was excited to see this!
Great video. Keep the tours comming.
I really like the distillery tour videos. I know I have about 3 1/2 years before I retire and can move to Tennessee before I will get to take a tour. Keep doing these videos.

Hats off to woodford. Very nice looking place. And that tour guide 👏. Makes me want to go on a road trip to Kentucky
Loved it. Maybe you can get the tour guides to sit down for a special Q & A. Thanks!

Loved the video and stoked to see more distillery tours.

Was just there two months ago and Beth was our tour guide! She was super knowledgeable and a really cool experience.
Woodford Reserve was our first tour 5 years ago... very nice.. and yes.. D.O. is best... malted not so much...
Great to see you at a large distillary for a change of pace, very enjoyable video thank you

I love the coverage of a Distillery tour. Would like to see more.
Great video! I’ve been privilege to do a barrel pick at Woodford. Tasting their product at 130+ proof is outstanding.
Really like the tour vids, but keep up the hunts as well! Brewzle is by far my favorite Bourbon UA-cam channel!
I loved the distillery tour . Please do more!
Double oaked/toasted barrels are my absolute favorite! You should definitely do more on those!
Big fan of the Doubled Oak!!! Love the tour videos and the hunts My favorite video was not long ago when you picked a barrel That was entertaining!
Keep these types f videos coming. It’s cool to get some history behind the products that we are all chasing.
It’s SOOOOO beautiful there!!!!!
Woodford Reserve has a beautiful campus. Nice gift shop.
I had the same tour guide last September and got to see the barrels that were for the Baccarat release this year... they had two barrels with the lids painted red.
I like all of your content. I learn so much. Thank you.
Love this type of video and I would love to see the barrel videos at a cooperage you mentioned at the very end.
Loved the tour. Please do more.
Love these tour videos! Really cool to see a US company using wood mash fermenters and triple pot stills. Hope you asked about getting a cask strength double oaked! haha
