I know you already know this, but Kentucky has a lot of bourbon, which means that we have a lot of distilleries. But which ones should you visit? How do you get to them all in limited time? Well, that's where our Kentucky Bourbon Trail 3 day itinerary comes in! I like to think that the “Amber waves of grain” referenced in America the Beautiful is a precise reference to Kentucky bourbon. Our fields of barley, wheat, rye and of course corn are mashed and distilled into a literal glass of amber-colored bluegrass. 95% of the world's bourbon is made in Kentucky, and just like how champagne tastes better from the Champagne region of France, bourbon tastes better from the terroir of Kentucky’s rolling hills. So let's dive into our Kentucky Bourbon Trail 3 day itinerary!
