Kentucky Bourbon Trail

Kentucky's legendary distilleries have crafted the world's finest Bourbons for more than 200 years, using secret recipes and methods passed down from generation to generation.

In 1999, the Kentucky Distillers' Association formed the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® tour to give visitors a firsthand look at the art and science of crafting Bourbon, and to educate them about the rich history and proud tradition of Kentucky's signature spirit.

Bourbon tourism is skyrocketing, with nearly 2 million visitors from all 50 states and 25 countries to the world-famous Kentucky Bourbon Trail® tour in the last five years alone.
