Writer Brad Japhe says, “The grandaddy of the all-American drinking journey is undoubtedly Kentucky’s legendary Bourbon Trail, with more than a dozen distilleries scattered about an expansive swath of Bluegrass real estate. To explore the terrain properly, book an excursion through Mint Julep Tours. Buses depart from the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville, and visit big-name distilleries such as Maker’s Mark and Willet. A light lunch is part of a package that concludes with an afternoon at the Jim Beam American Stillhouse.”
