Great tour at the Pepper Distillery. - This was an enjoyable tour. Kay was a great guide with a lot of enthusiasm. Our tour had 9 people from Illinois, Connecticut, Kentucky, Texas and the UK. The bourbon selections were very interesting and the food was just the right pairing. It was well worth an afternoon.
