Glenns Creek Distillery
3501 McCracken Pike, Frankfort, KY 40601-9231
Want to see, and understand how bourbon is made? Then Glenns Creek's small distillery located on the Former Old Crow Distillery Property at 3501 McCracken Pike Frankfort, Kentucky 40601 is the stop for you! (Don't stop at the sign that says Old Crow Distillery. Keep going a bit more.) Home of all of our single barrel bourbons including OCD #5, Café Ole', Cuervito Vivo!, A-Maize-ing C.O.B., and Swheat, as well as Rye Whiskey, Rum, Vodka, and Kentuila (our version of Tequila). We use old-school pot stills that we built to distill the finest whiskies and spirits you will find anywhere! P.S. We don't have restrooms so if you are averse to using a porta-toilet you may want to use a restroom before you arrive, and if you want a nice shiny distillery this is not that place. We ARE like the classic dive hole-in-the-wall restaurant that has the best food though (but with bourbon and not food.)
