We recently toured this distillery and were fortunate to have Melissa as our tour guide. Before the tour she gave an in-depth history lesson of whiskey production in the area that was very interesting. The tour was one of the better ones I’ve had, and I’ve had more than a few, and it was soon obvious that Melissa was quite knowledgeable as to bourbon production in general and Southern’s operation in particular. She was open to questions which made the discussion that much more enjoyable. Melissa’s charm and wit made the tasting a fun experience. I’m impressed with both the facilities and operation. This is definitely a couple of notches above the typical craft distillery and well worth the time to stop and tour.
