The Kentucky Bourbon Trail

Bourbon is as Southern as barbecue and bluegrass―just ask anyone with a drawl. However, the bourbon itself is just a small part of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail which stretches for roughly 60 miles, from Louisville to Lexington and down to Bardstown.

Bourbon Country is about the rolling hills that inspired many a man to pick up a fiddle. Pastures fertile with majestic Thoroughbreds. Anecdotes and tall tales from generations of distillers. Country roads bordered by lopsided barns and piled stone walls. And the best way to access all this? By visiting the distilleries.
