One of the must-see stops on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail is Lux Row Distillers—a state-of-the-art distillery with six distinct brands under one roof—including Rebel Bourbon, Ezra Brooks, Blood Oath, and much more. The award-winning distillery offers behind-the-scenes tours, a gift shop, and a cocktail bar serving mixed drinks and straight pours from the local house labels.
Ninety-five percent of the world’s bourbon is produced in Kentucky, so it’s only fitting that there’s a trail dedicated to trying all the best options. The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is a road-trip style experience for visitors (and locals) of the Bluegrass State to check out the signature distilleries. And just like Lux Row Distillers, you’ll have the opportunity to taste the bourbons and tour these excellent establishments.
Before you start planning your route on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, you’ll want to secure your lodging, and there’s no better place to experience bourbon country than our Bardstown Bed and Breakfast. Our elegant and historic Inn is home to ten spirit-themed suites, beautiful garden grounds, and shared spaces for gourmet breakfast in the morning or an evening cocktail.
