Watch This BEFORE You Hit the Kentucky Bourbon Trail

Planning a trip to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail? Watch this before you book a single distillery. In Part 1 of our four-part Bourbon Trail road trip, I'll share everything I learned after exploring Kentucky's bourbon country—from where to stay and how many distilleries to visit each day to why the Bourbon Trail is worth the trip even if you never drink whiskey. You'll learn why nearly all bourbon is made in Kentucky, when to visit, how far ahead to reserve tours, and the biggest mistake first-time visitors make. Along the way we'll meet master distillers, discover why Kentucky's limestone water is so important, and preview the beautiful small towns we'll explore throughout the series. Whether you're planning your first Bourbon Trail vacation or just curious what all the excitement is about, this episode will help you make the most of your Kentucky road trip.
