Anyone on here have any experience or recommendations with bourbon trail tours? 

 

Most of them truly suck is the answer. And once you’ve done one, youve done enough. 
 

key is to focus on the tastings/experiences. HH will let you select a nice bottle on certain “tours”. 
 

Willett may be worthwhile. BT for the history (and be selective, not all tours there are equal).

You will want to spend a great deal of time (and money) at Bar Willett. Carve out plenty there, make it your last stop (trust me on this) and be sure to book a reservation there. You won’t find anything close to this in KY. Even close. 

Preach Brother!!
Man I want an egg salad sandwich and some purple tops.

To add color:

four roses - skip (nothing worth a shit on tasting menu)

HH - do if only for the allocated bottle (you do bourbon or connoisseur depending on what you are after) 

Barton - I would do as it’s a very cool setup and bar is great with lots of options to taste

BT - likely do, as historical and pick which one interests you most  all end in same tasting of their mainstream offerings  

whiskey thief - kinda cool off the run experience with barrel tasting.  If you want unique, this is it  

Preservation - skip

willett - do it right before your reservation at bar Willett 

Jack Ruby steakhouse - highly recommend this stop in Lexington. And be sure to try their exclusive 16 year Boone county MGP pick if there is any left

Tell me you've never been to Bardstown Bourbon Company without telling me you've never been to Bardstown Bourbon Company. The bar at Willet is excellent, but you're doing it all wrong if you aren't making time for BBC. The restaurant and the whiskey library tasting experience should not be missed.
