Our party of four greatly enjoyed this tour. This is a newer and smaller distillery but it doesn’t lack in personality.Our tour guide Robbie was personable and knowledgeable. We greatly enjoyed learning local history as well as the history of the brand. The tour was very informative.On a side note, I am disabled and cannot walk/climb stairs well. I was able to enjoy this tour without any issues.All staff we encountered seemed to love their jobs. We enjoyed the tour, the sampling of drinks and hot pizza! The merchandise offered is very neat and the bottles are beautiful. I highly recommend a visit to Dueling Grounds!

Great tour- refreshing to hear from the distillers themselves and perfect blend of the history of the company and area with the science behind the drink. Very creative tasting options!

We did a tour and ordered a couple pizzas. Could not have been happier with the experience. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and kind, and we got 4 samples of our choice at the end. Highly recommend the Kentucky Margarita. And definitely get a pizza because WOW they were good!

The distiller/guide was a super nice guy who really knows his stuff. This is a very small craft distillery producing some good bond bourbon and small batch. If you don’t know the difference it’s okay. He will tell you. The tour is not very expensive and comes with 4 samples. I recommend if you are driving by. Not to mention the downtown of Franklin,KY is right near by and worth and drive through.P.S - I didn’t share photos of the inside so you can see it yourself.

Not fancy, but if you are lucky the master distiller will be behind the counter. Bourbon barrel gin. Is worth the trip
Absolutely love this place! Great bourbon and friendly staff. Santos and Steve really love what they do and it shows, we had a lot of questions and they were happy to oblige.Thanks guys!Shawn from Green Bay

Been to many bourbon tours and none have been quite as unique and personal as this one. Can’t recommend this place enough! Toured with the assistant distiller and he was such a joy to listen to! Got to look into the mash tank as it fermented, dip our finger into the alcohol as it distilled, and see every single step of this process like never before! Most places never let you get as in depth and up close with their equipment. The amazing bourbon is just the cherry on top. If you’re looking for an amazing experience with one of the most locally based, home-grown distilleries, then Dueling Grounds is for you. 100% worth the drive.

We took the distillery tour and learned so much from our passionate guide Robbie. The tour concludes with a tasting of craft bourbon straight, in cocktails, or as liqueurs. It’s a great stop and on the official Kentucky Bourbon Trail. (Don’t be hungover like we were, and you’ll enjoy it even more!) Delicious. Craft. Local.

I like a place that seems like a place people can just stop into anytime. They serve food and cocktails as well as doing tours and tastings. Cute little place and good bourbon! Stop in if you're nearby! It's the southernmost stop on the Kentucky bourbon trail.
Nice place to hangout.
