Bulleit Distilling Co.

Bulleit whiskey is one of the most well-known brands in the US and the distillery offers visitors an up-close look at the incredible process of how it's made.

Bulleit Distilling Co. is the place to come if you enjoy authentic whisky or simply learning about its fascinating history and the intricate process in which it’s made. Located just east of Louisville in Shelbyville, Kentucky, this distillery opened in 1987 and has become a popular name across the country. Bulleit keeps the family tradition alive through their unique high rye recipe and has been given numerous awards for their various bourbons.

A new and impressive distillery was opened in 2017 to celebrate 30 years of operation, and in 2019 the Bulleit Visitor’s Centre was unveiled to the public. The visitor center was opened to share the distinctive and sustainable approach they use when creating their whiskey. You can book a reservation for a tour in advance to guarantee a spot, and all ages are welcome (21+ to enjoy the samples, though!) Different events and classes are held here at the Visitor Experience such as the Homegrown Cocktail Class and The Anatomy of a Single Barrel. If you’re conquering the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, you definitely can’t miss out on a visit to the remarkable Bulleit Distilling Co.
