Enjoyed the tour of this candy factory that stays true to its historic roots and within the family. - The two women who started this candy business in the late 1800's were trailblazers! We attended the 150th Kentucky Derby (on my bucket list). We are from WA State. In researching options to visit during our five day trip to Kentucky--this tour was added to our list. I wanted to learn the story firsthand about the creator of the original bourbon ball. My maternal grandmother who was born in 1909 from Arkansas made bourbon and rum balls at Christmas - I was a "little helper." I purchased a gift set of boubon balls to send to my 85 year old mother for Mother's Day. I am pleased that Ruth's Candy offers a wide variety of chocolates. We purchased several kinds for our two grown daughters that have not developed a taste for alcohol infused chocolates. The factory location is in a lovely part of the countryside outside Lexington, Kentucky.

Disappoing Tour - Been to many chocolate tours and this one was the lightest. Less than 20 minutes and a very steep $8 fee. Tour guide did not seem happy to show location with only the two of us signed up. You are just going into the back of a house and seeing the "kitchen" area where folks are manually making chocolates.
