The stops along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail just keep getting bigger and better. And the best news…there’s another reason to visit our friends at Limestone Branch Distillery in Lebanon, Kentucky.
The distillery just opened the Stephen B. Beam Tasting Lodge, a 1,250 square-foot tasting space for the growing barrel program. The lodge is named for Limestone Branch Distillery’s founder and honors his love of Yellowstone National Park.
“As we continue to expand our barrel program to include more unique and sought-after selections, we wanted to create a dedicated space for customers to fully experience these offerings,” said Luxco Barrel Program Manager Casey Shirley. “The addition of the private Tasting Lodge provides the ideal location for customers to get to know our award-winning brands a little better and sample and select the perfect barrel.”
The Tasting Lodge is a “private yet comfortable setting to accommodate up to 20 guests at a time in a dedicated, stand-alone building overlooking the natural beauty of the property,” according to a news release from the distillery.
“It’s humbling and exciting to have the Tasting Lodge named in my honor because it’s an expansion of our dream to bring our family recipes and traditions to customers in small batches since opening Limestone Branch Distillery more than 10 years ago. And for the first time, we’re able to offer Yellowstone American Single Malt Whiskey and Minor Case Rye barrel selections for customers to taste and choose from in addition to our Yellowstone Bourbon Hand Picked Kentucky Straight Bourbon.”
