The questions that decide a day

Answered place by place.

Counts from each place’s own pages. A place that has not published an answer is left blank, never assumed.

Ready-made days

Load one into the planner to check opening hours for your date and the drive between stops.

Three distilleries within walking distance downtown. Start at Evan Williams, cross Main Street to Old Forester, finish at Angel’s Envy by the ballpark.

Independent

No paid listings and no rankings. Members of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® and places outside it are listed the same way.

Sourced and dated

Hours and policies come from each place’s own pages, with the date they were checked.

Plan a driver

Tastings add up. Every day plan here assumes someone sober is driving, or a tour company is.
