Leiper's Fork Distillery is a small batch artisan distillery featuring unaged spirits, Leipers's Fork's first bourbon since prohibition and premium spirits. It is our aim to recapture the lost art of small batch spirit production, using mainly local ingredients, pouring our heart and soul into every drop from grain to glass.
Could not have enjoyed this tour more. Pops was our tour guide & his knowledge on the distilling process, local history and simple passion for people made this a fantastic 60 minutes. And yes, the whiskey is great, too. Can't wait to return!

I have worked in corporate America for over 35 years and just semi-retired. My passion is travel, food, wine and bourbon. Uncorked Encounters offer unique experiences for our clients to encounter these passions - through food and wine pairings, Wine Tours, Bourbon Tours or bucket list vacations.
