A must stop. Woodford sets the bar.

Decent tour, but nothing to get excited about. You get walked quickly through bourbon preparation, barrel storage, the rickhouse, and back up into a nice tasting area. Tasting includes three samples and a bourbon ball. I walked away feeling like -- you ever learn what goes into something you thought you liked, and now that you know it, you're underwhelmed? That's how I'm feeling.
