Bourbon trail
Kentucky Bourbon Trail
Kentucky makes 95% of the world’s bourbon, and the Bourbon Trail links the distilleries that do it — rickhouses, tastings, and limestone-water country roads between them.
Why do it
Distillery to distillery through bluegrass country.
It’s the original American spirit, made where it was born. Tour the rickhouses, taste straight from the barrel, and drive some of the prettiest farm country in the South.
