The Trail that Bourbon Built

By Linda Tancs

Right now almost 11 million barrels of bourbon are aging in Kentucky, the world’s foremost producer. A type of barrel-aged American whisky made primarily from corn, Congress declared it an indigenous product of the United States, meaning that no other country can make a product and call it bourbon. You can trek through the Bluegrass State on a bourbon trail that will take you to 18 distilleries. That’s a lot of sipping and savoring, so put your feet up along the way at a variety of inns and hotels like the Old Talbott Tavern (home to the world’s oldest bourbon bar) in Bardstown, where they’ve been welcoming guests since 1779.
