Overview of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail
What is the Kentucky Bourbon Trail? The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is a curated route showcasing 18 major distilleries (and 23 craft distilleries) across Kentucky, where 95% of the world’s bourbon is crafted. Why is Kentucky bourbon only made in Kentucky? It’s not legally required, but Kentucky’s limestone-rich water, ideal climate, and centuries-old distilling tradition make it the gold standard for bourbon production. The trail spans from Louisville to Lexington, with iconic stops like Buffalo Trace, Maker’s Mark, and Jim Beam. Where does the bourbon trail start and end? It’s flexible—you can start in Louisville, home to distilleries like Angel’s Envy, and end in Bardstown, the “Bourbon Capital of the World.” Is the Kentucky Bourbon Trail in Kentucky open? Yes, most distilleries operate year-round, though booking ahead is key, especially for bachelor parties.
Super Stays ensures your group navigates this trail effortlessly with curated itineraries and private transportation, making your Kentucky Bourbon Trail bachelor party seamless and memorable.
