Immerse Yourself in Louisville's Bourbon Lifestyle
Louisville is home to the world’s only Urban Bourbon Experience – a myriad of distilleries, bourbon-themed festivals and events and the Urban Bourbon Trail®. A great place to kick off your Bourbon adventure is at the Frazier History Museum. There you’ll find the Welcome Center and Official Starting Point of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®.
Ten distilleries are right here in Louisville with many located downtown and within walking distance of one another. Louisville is also home to the Urban Bourbon Trail – a cocktail and culinary experience highlighting the city’s best Bourbon bars and restaurants. Be sure to try Louisville’s Official Cocktail, the Old Fashioned, and keep an eye out for Bourbon-inspired food from local chefs.
Bourbon also receives prime billing at many of our festivals and events, like Bourbon & Beyond, the Bourbon Classic, Mint Julep Month and Old Fashioned Fortnight, to name a few. Other ways to experience Bourbon in Louisville include checking out one of Louisville’s speakeasies, shopping for rare and hard-to-find bottles, crafting your own blended Bourbon and more.
