This looks nice. I'd be up for a tour - I get in Friday at 11 so could do Friday afternoon - or over weekend? Anybody else?

At first glance it appears they charge for tours, starting at $30. See if I missed something.

My brother knows one of the owners. Maybe we could get something special.

Upgrading myself to interested/maybe -- good thing I made a points booking at the 1P way back when

Don't think I'll be able to make it for this great tradition this time around. Have a great weekend in LEX!

Hope you have better luck dropping your brother's name than I did when I tried to get us in to Castle & Key in its under renovations state a year ago. Totally blown off by their marketing person. And now they want to charge $30 to tour a place that people were sneaking into for years... Chutzpah.

The other un-abandoned abandoned bourbon distillery right up the road was one of my all-time highlights of ay H&B DO. We defintiely need to make a return visit to Glenns Creek. I will try and remember to bring a real camera this time.

Business and travel plans are still moving targets for me but I am probable for the DO next week. Hope to be able to be in town at least Fri-Sun. I'm either going to be flying to BNA on a client's plane and doing a one-way car rental up from BNA, or, at the opposite extreme, attempting to non-rev (probably into CVG).

Is anyone else flying into CVG either Thursday PM or Friday AM?

I mentioned this to my friend Maggie a couple months ago, and she said yes, but have not reconfirmed. Will call her today.

Hope you can make it!. I agree about Glenns Creek. I also would like to revisit.
We will be driving from Columbus on Friday and can stop at CVG on the way. Let me know if we can assist you.
