Stopped into J. Mattingly Distillery today. I didn’t get a chance to connect with the folks there, but I do appreciate their bottling. It is located right across the road from Buffalo Trace and just a half hour away from The Back 40.

Thank you to all that are serving and have served.

To all people, never forget, no matter our differences, we are all in this world together. The great philosophers Bill and Ted said it best. “Be excellent to one another.”

The Back 40 is proudly a veteran owned business.

Latest guest review of The Back 40:
"This was one of the best AB&B experiences we've had. They were great and that place was amazing. Anytime we're in the area, we'd love to stay again! Steve is a gem too!"

Well, since they mentioned Steve, here's Steve! ...and some other guy. Appreciate you, Steve. No doubt, folks love you and your cows.

I keep wanting to visit Whiskey Thief Distilling Co. while I’m at The Back 40, but I never quite make it there. It’s only 17 miles away! I think my priorities might be messed up.

Hold me to it, I’ll stop in this November and report back. If any of y’all have been there, let me know what you think.

Whiskey Thief is a destination unlike any other on Kentucky's famed Bourbon Trail. Book your Whiskey Thief tour and tasting online today!

We are about to wrap up our first, full month at The Back 40. By all accounts, it's been a success! We can't thank Beth & Shaun York and Steve Jeffries enough for keeping the operation running.

Not to be forgotten, without the diligence of our builders, Alex Doyle and Dillon Boone, we would never have gotten this dream off the ground...but don't take our word for it. Check out our reviews!
