DistilleryTrail.com says, “In 2007 husband and wife team, Sean and Lisa Higgins had a dream to start a company together. From humble beginnings that started out on a ping pong table in their basement the Higgins started what was to become Mint Julep Tours. The company officially launched in 2008 with a major focus on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, bourbon fans and bourbon tourism. Sean will tell you, initially there were some lean years, but, as the world’s interest in bourbon has exploded over the last several years, their business has expanded to keep up with demand. Their tour offerings have also expanded over the years to include horse farms, historic landmarks and the bustling foodie scene. The company now operates with nearly 50 employees and 20 vehicles serving more than 30,000 guests per year in Kentucky.”
