The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is a program started by a coalition of Bourbon Whiskey distilleries within the state of Kentucky to promote Bourbon tourism, including tastings and tours of different distilleries in Northern Kentucky. The number of destinations on the trail currently stands at nine, and includes traditional distilleries –  some of which have existed for more than a century, and other more recent smaller craft artisan distillers.   The Kentucky Bourbon Trail starts in Louisville, Kentucky’s largest city.
