Garrett our Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable with good sense of humor. Facility was welcoming. The informational videos were very good. The trastings were stupendous- in a very relaxed and cozy bar atmosphere. The front desk person was efficient and shared as needed.
Rating just under a 5– the admission price was a bit high for seniors.
The people here are super friendly and the whiskey is fine, but overall, it was just mid for us. Not my top fave on the trail. Not bad, but not great. Awesome display in the lobby though!
Had an extraordinary experience thanks to Mrs.Linda . She went above and beyond to share the history and ensure everyone had a good understanding behind the making of Kentucky bourbon. Her charisma and friendliness ultimately made our experience one of a kind. We loved the history and the props included as part of the tour. Would recommend this show and definitely recommend getting Mrs.Linda if you can.
My husband and I booked reservations at the Evan Williams Speakeasy Experience this weekend (10/28/23). We had a wonderful time! We really enjoyed the story and speakeasy feel, including a bar tender in full character from 1929. You have to enter using a secret password and then go in to a full bar. Once seated, the story begins and you taste 5 different bourbons, each with a different history to them. Very fun! There is a gift shop on the 2nd floor and a bar on the 3rd floor. After our tasting we went to the bar and enjoyed a flight of bourbon.
A really enjoyable time. Tour had way more to it than you might think, not mindless talking at you but actual different rooms, fun displays, and a great explanation of the history and brewing process. Definitely worth doing AT LEAST once, and the bourbon tasting they let you do at the end is fire.
The Speakeasy experience was awesome. I also like the fact they have bourbon here that you can't get on the shelf at home. I think it's sad that the other distilleries only release something at a random time during the day. Thank you, Evan Williams staff, for being so awesome.
Evan Williams was by far the fanciest of the tours we took. The guide was nice and the tasting in the "unique" location was a real surprise and really brought everything together. I would say that by the outside of the building you could easily walk by and miss this, that would be a huge mistake. This is one of those tours you don't want to miss.
I had an absolutely fantastic time at the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience. Even though we didn't take the tour and opted for drinks at the third-floor bar, the experience was top-notch. Getting in was a breeze, and the drinks were simply outstanding. The "Sweater Weather" old-fashioned was a delightful surprise for my taste buds. I'd give it a solid five stars for a memorable and delicious visit.
