Where else can you stand in the geographic center of the state, watch bourbon flow and barrels grown, experience some of the world's most unique sights and events and eat until you're about to bust? Come feel the beat in Lebanon, the true Heart of Kentucky!
Independent Stave Company’s Kentucky Cooperage in historic downtown Lebanon makes the charred oak barrels critical for the production of bourbon.
Come see how "charring" is done, how staves are shaped, how hoops are put in place and how barrels are made leak proof without manmade sealers. It's educational but also exciting to watch the action.
