Maker’s Mark Distillery, Loretto

An iconic brand known for its red wax-dipped bottles, the Maker’s Mark Distillery in Loretto offers tours of the National Historic Landmark so guests can learn about its history and its makers. Be sure to reserve some time because there is a lot to do and see.

You’ll get a chance to grab some bourbon-infused coffee, then spend some time at the country campus listening to the history of the distillery and its makers and how their brand has evolved over time.

Then visitors can visit their beautiful artwork and get a chance to taste their different whiskies. But the main reason to come here is for a chance to see the process of making double-oaked bourbon.

Visitors can even hand-dip a bottle in the classic red wax for a perfect souvenir to take home.
