Here are a few favorite tips for exploring the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, or for choosing one of our signature tours.
Plan Ahead Booking tours at least 90 days in advance ensures you secure your spots, especially at popular distilleries that fill up quickly.
Explore Beyond the Well Known Some of the best distilleries aren’t on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail at all. Consider some of the smaller craft distilleries, which are often much more intimate and immersive.
Build Around Your Must-Do Consider building your day around the one distillery you absolutely have to see, then add tastings or a mixology session at your other two stops.
Visit a Cooperage Understanding how the barrels are made is important. The barrel is responsible for about 70% of the overall flavor.
Stay Flexible While a set schedule is helpful, using a private car service with an expert guide can provide valuable information on daily allocations and the inside scoops that make bourbon country special.
