Distillery Reviews – Bourbon Obessed

We are pleased to provide the following articles and reviews about the majority of the Kentucky Bourbon Distilleries. We’ve done our best to visit as many as possible, and we’re always adding more. Don’t worry, we know that other states have distilleries, too. So, we’ve included some of them, as well! Each article has many photographs, and there are some videos, too. Hopefully, you will leave with a good feel for each distillery. This is a never ending work in progress, so check back often!

If you are planning a trip, you’ll want to check out our Interactive Map of all licensed Kentucky Distilleries! We also have a list of all of the licensed Kentucky Distilleries, if that is more your style. You’ve got to eat, too – right? So check out our article Kentucky Distilleries With On-Site Restaurants to learn at which distilleries you can grab a bite. Last but not least, at the bottom of this page we also have reviews of a few whiskey related attractions that are worth a visit.

Please note that Distillery Hours and Tour/Tasting Availability may vary. Please contact the distillery or check their web page or social media for details before you go.
