Kentucky Bourbon Trail

Barrels, bites, and bourbon done properly.

A note from the editor

Did you know the bourbon craze has gone wild? Some bottles now cost 5-10x what they used to, and are impossible to find. With this guide, go straight to the source: visit distilleries to learn about bourbons and rye whiskeys, do a tasting, and maybe score an allocated (highly coveted) bottle at retail.
