In Kentucky bourbon is more than the beautiful amber color in your favorite glencairn glass. It is the tattered mash bill found in granddad’s old desk drawer next to his gold pocket watch. It is the black and white photo of grandma smiling at the camera as she makes Christmas dinner. Bourbon is a family tradition proudly handed down from generation to generation. Our resident central Kentucky bourbon historian, Jerry Daniels and his partner Lowell Arnett, share their knowledge of Kentucky’s famous bourbon families on their videocast, Behind the Label. Join our bourbon influencers for a live session on the Pepper Family of Woodford County and a tasting of this historical bourbon lineage.

 

The Royal Experience 

 

Did you fantasize about being Cinderella, Snow White or Sleeping Beauty when you were a little girl? Did you dream of castles and princes and singing to nature while wearing a beautiful gown? We in Woodford County would love to bring you a grown-up Kentucky version of this dream.  The Royal Experience will let you enjoy the majesty of central Kentucky’s two famous castles. Our first stop will be the beautiful Kentucky Castle. While there you will delight in a guided tour and savor a Kentucky Proud lunch. We will then travel to the historic Castle and Key Distillery to hear the story of Colonel E.H. Taylor, wander the beautiful gardens designed by award-winning landscape artist Jon Carloftis, and enjoy a handcrafted classic cocktail by the charming key-shaped spring. Leave your glass slippers at home and let us be your carriage while you enjoy a day as a Kentucky queen.
