Bourbon Tours

in Kentucky

There are few feelings more satisfying than a drink of mellow Kentucky bourbon. The state is known for creating the best bourbon in the world, and you can have the chance to sample that history firsthand. You’ll visit three area distilleries and learn all about the history of Kentucky bourbon and, of course, taste some of the finest liquor they have to offer.

We start at the Buffalo Trace Distillery where you learn about history, see the bourbon aging and finally see how the liquid is packaged. The Woodford Reserve has more than 200 flavors and can train you to tell the difference between the flavors. The final stop is the birthplace of Wild Turkey. Experience the full flavor of all-natural non-GMO bourbon filtered from limestone and made with water from the Kentucky River.
