Corsair Distillery

One of the things I wanted to do while we were in Kentucky was visit a distillery, since it seems like such a Kentucky thing to do. We were all shocked to learn that there’s an operating distillery right in the heart of downtown Bowling Green!

The decor when you first enter the Corsair building is very cool, and you definitely get a feel for what they do!

The behind-the-scenes of how different kinds of whiskey are made is interesting, and quite different from the brewery tours we’ve been on, which is what I was going for. We also learned a bit about the history of the company…I was surprised to learn that they actually got their start bottling gin!

At the end of the tour, you can do a tasting…I tried some very good things (especially the rye whiskey), and one that was really gross (absinthe).

I enjoyed having an opportunity to learn and try something new!
