Jeff Cole was amazing with the tour. Great atmosphere and the history of the building and area was appreciated. His effort of making us feel welcome made the difference from other distilleries we have toured in the surrounding area. Great Bourbon and drinks…the 1944 is a must try. The “Speakeasy” portion of the tour is classic and beautiful. We are looking forward to another visit in the near future.

Food, service, ambiance and the batch. The name fits the vibe - careful thought, reflective, musing - Pensive!
