Must-see attractions

　　Arguably the best of Lexington’s micro-distillers, it uses blue corn instead of standard corn to make its bourbon, which you’ll learn about from the super-friendly staff. Tours with tastings are conducted every hour on the hour; the last one is at 4pm. Buy a bottle and you can fill it...
