Old Forester Distillery
“Always carry a flagon of whisky in case of snakebite, and furthermore, always carry a small snake.” – W.C. Fields The Old Forester Distillery Tour & Visitor Centeropened on “Whiskey Row” in the summer of 2018. Although it’s a relative newcomer to Louisville’s historic downtown district, Old Forester is the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company before, during, and after Prohibition. But that’s not the bourbon’s only claim to historic fame. In 1870, George Garvin Brown ensured his...
Angel’s Envy Distillery Tour
“I wish to live to 150 years old, but the day I die, I wish it to be with a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other.”– Ava Gardner While I prefer both the Evan Williams Experience and Old Forester Distillery tours over this one, Angel’s Envy is still well worth the visit. The gift shop is large and well-stocked, and the facility is interesting to tour. The standard tour is exactly that, “standard,” with not a lot of extras to experience, but you will learn the intricate proc...
Michter’s Distillery
“Happiness is having a rare steak, a bottle of whisky, and a dog to eat the rare steak.”– Johnny Carson Also located on Louisville’s historic “Whiskey Row,” Michter’s Distilleryis a great option for those who prefer a tour that doesn’t involve a lot of walking, given that the entire tour takes place in one large room. Situated across the street from the iconic Louisville Slugger Museum, Michter’s is a smaller facility with limited space, but the tasting is where the tour shines. The guide pla...
Maker’s Mark Distillery
“Nothing is so musical as the sound of pouring bourbon for the first drink on a Sunday morning. Not Bach or Schubert or any of those masters.” Carson McCullers The road to Maker’s Markbourbon distillery in Loretto, KY, can be a little confusing. On my first visit here, the route guidance told me that I had arrived, and there was nothing but fields, barns, and a small house or two scattered about. To avoid potential confusion and arrive in time for your tour, Maker’s Mark provides these instru...
James B. Beam Distilling Co.
“I have never in my life seen a Kentuckian who didn’t have a gun, a pack of cards, and a jug of whiskey.”– Andrew Jackson It doesn’t get much more iconic than Jim Beam bourbon. With its instantly recognizable name and its best-selling brands including Booker’s, Knob Creek, Basil Hayden, Old Grandad, and, of course, Jim Beam, the distilleryis an impressive one to visit. Located 30 minutes from Louisville by car, it’s an accessible bourbon trail distillery to visit if you don’t want to drive to...
Willett Distillery
“There is no bad whiskey. There are only some whiskeys that aren’t as good as others.”Raymond Chandler Located about 30 minutes from Maker’s Mark is the Willett Distillery, perched on top of a hill overlooking the green valleys of Bardstown, KY. One of the most recognizable aspects of Willett bourbon is their striking pot still bottle design. This rustic family-owned distillery is beautiful and well-maintained from its photo-filled visitor waiting area to the final tasting room. Because Wille...
Woodford Reserve Distillery
“A good gulp of hot whiskey at bedtime—it’s not very scientific, but it helps.”Alexander Fleming (Inventor of Penicillin) The Woodford Reserve tour is charming in every aspect—from the old barrel railway used to move the freshly filled barrels to the rickhouse to the on-site bottling facility and visitor/tasting center. This tour was one of the most memorable I have ever been on over the years I’ve been touring Kentucky’s distilleries along the bourbon trail. The Woodford tour ends, as all do...
Four Roses Distillery
“Whiskey, like a beautiful woman, demands appreciation.” Haruki Murakami Situated on top of a breezy hill is the most romantic of the Kentucky distilleries along the Bourbon Trail: Four Roses. Established in 1888 originally on “Whiskey Row” by Paul Jones, a Louisville businessman, the Four Roses label is rooted in the story of his proposal to a Southern belle named Mary. After courting her for a number of years, Jones asked Mary to respond to his “final” marriage proposal by wearing a corsage...
Wild Turkey Distillery
“There’s no app for a bourbon buzz on a warm day in a cool, dark bar. The world will always want a drink.”Gillian Flynn The Wild Turkey Touris as industrial as it gets. Not that it makes the tour less interesting, but I prefer the smaller distilleries along the Bourbon Trail as opposed to the mass conglomerate operations. The tour lasts about one hour, and you get to see where they make the bourbon as well as where they bottle the various vodka brands that they own. An impressive operation, t...
