Writer Edwin Thomas says, “An alternative to the regular guided tour format is to book a customized tour, such as those offered by Mint Julep Tours. This option is more expensive, but offers the freedom to visit particular distilleries, as well as to add on bourbon-related extras. A custom itinerary with Mint Julep Tours might start with the Woodford Reserve distillery and end at Maker’s Mark — these two are never offered together on regular tour schedules, stopping at the Brown-Forman Cooperage and the Oscar Getz Museum of Whiskey History in Bardstown along the way.”
