Photos of the sleek, glass-encased Rabbit Hole distillery had been leaking out of NuLu for months.

But now, anyone with Instagram envy will be able to grab a pic of their own.

On Wednesday, Rabbit Hole finally launched its public tours.

The bourbon distillery at 711 E. Jefferson St. will offer guided walks of its facility once an hour starting Aug. 8. Tours will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Tickets are on the higher side for Louisville's distilleries at $23 per person, with discounts available for seniors, minors and veterans.

But Rabbit Hole promises the price is worth it for the "immersive" journey that takes guests from grain to glass.

"In the heart of Louisville, a place where Midwestern grit and Southern hospitality come together, a modernist cathedral is built around the process of making whiskey," founder Kaveh Zamanian said in a press release. "At Rabbit Hole, transparency is physically manifested in the building, as windows to every step of the operation is honored and in proud view. We look forward to welcoming enthusiasts and aficionados of bourbon and American whiskey to our home."
