The Trail Less Traveled - An Authentic Kentucky Bourbon Tour
Overview
Mobile ticket
Sipping in the South was born from a bold idea: bourbon deserves more than a bus ride, a stamp in a book, and a cookie-cutter, self-guided checklist.
That’s where we come in.
We’re the local experts who take the trail less traveled, curating exclusive experiences with up to 5 handpicked distilleries. We book the best each one has to offer rare tastings, sipping straight from the barrel with the owner, blending your own bourbon, or mixing your own cocktail.
The Kentucky Bourbon Trail® is a nice start, but it’s not the whole story. It features a select group that pay to participate — but some of Kentucky’s best experiences aren’t even on their map.
We’re here to change that.
Every tour begins with our Private Bourbon 101 Social — a hands-on introduction to nosing and sipping that gives you the tools to truly enjoy what you’re tasting. Because when you understand bourbon, everything else gets better.
And yes — we even save 30 minutes for rare finds at local liquor stores.

Bourbon tour fit for a king.

5.00Breakfast and bourbon was made for a king. Tuwannas pico and sausage balls were great. The 101 class bourbon class made us look like we knew what we were doing. We knew nothing prior. Haha. Woodford reserve has great grounds and we have a renewed love of the double oak. The cocktails at castle and key were so interesting and flavorful, never expect rye to go with chi or guys to like gin more than the bourbon. We kept going. Glenn’s Creek a must stop we laughed and said it looked like a scene out of Texas chain saw massacre but ended up with a bottle of Cafe Ole. Buffalo Trace for a quick tasting and ended the day at Whiskey Thief sipping from barrels again in a barn set on 125 acres with live music and fire pits. Angelique asked us what we would be talking about a year from now…. Basically we said we’d be back because we had so much fun. She also put us in touch with the AfterParty group and the night train kept on partying. AMAZING time for a real Kentucky bourbon experience. Nothing touristy about this experience.
