Bourbon Trail & Louisville Experience

Immerse yourself in the rich history of Kentucky’s legendary Bourbon Trail and experience the southern charm of Louisville with its worldrenowned Bourbon Culture, along with bourbonthemed cuisine and local excursions.

You and three guests will fly to Louisville and spend five days and four nights at Hotel Distil, Autograph Collection. This historic building on Louisville’s Whiskey Row has boutique guest rooms offering fine luxuries with refined services raising the bar for your stay in downtown Louisville.

At Maker’s Mark an hour outside Louisville, you will encounter aspects of production and bottling. Thieve directly out of a fully matured Maker’s Mark Cask Strength barrel and dip your own bottle in the iconic red wax!

In Louisville, learn more about this special process on the Angel Envy’s Distillery Signature Tour and experience the bourbon distillation process first-hand, from start to finish. Tour will finish with a tasting of Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Port Casks and Angel’s Envy Rye Whiskey finished in Caribbean Rum Casks.

Next, step back in time to the final days of Prohibition and into a secret Speakeasy at the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience. You will learn about Louisville native and renowned bartender Tom Bullock, the first black American to write and publish a cocktail book. Taste three premium bourbons as you sit back and enjoy the story of his life, legacy and love of spirits.

To bolster your personal collection and really impress your friends, you will receive your own private barrel of Elijah Craig Bourbon Whiskey, which yields about 180 bottles! This is the quintessential hallmark of what bourbon should be.

Enjoy one of the best culinary treasures Kentucky has to offer at Magnolia 610, in historic Old Louisville, owned by James Beard Foundation Nominee, Edward Lee. You will experience a mouth-watering five course Tasting Menu and Bourbon Progression, four Bourbon Tastings and Bourbon-Dessert Cocktail.

To complete your true Louisville experience, you and your guests will slide into the action of a private behind-the-scenes tour of the Louisville Slugger Factory where you’ll have an All-Star experience customized to cover your favorite MLB players and teams and receive a full-size personalized bat.
