100% agree with everything you said. Make reservations because they book up, buy what you cant get at home unless they have really good deals on the prices like Buffalo Trace. You can get their high end bourbon practically 1/2 off. Check their website in the morning. They post what is available that day. And get there early, when the sell out its gone for the day. And they dont have the same bourbon available every day. Also I would recommend staying in Bardstown as well as Louisville. They have great distilleries in both locations. With the Bourbon Trail book, when you finish them all in there you get a coin. There are a few different books available as well but the Bourbon trail one is the most popular. I just got back from a long weekend there a few weeks ago. I enjoy going in the fall. It was my 2nd year doing it. Definitely plan on going back again next year!

Good video. Reminds me of the last time I visited Woodford Reserve. I had an early visit planned. Because I was afraid I would get lost I arrived really early. I saw a deer with her fawn at a stop sign. I stayed there for several minutes just watching them. (No traffic)
I also stumbled across a small park. They had viewing blinds for birds. Some nice plants and butterflies to look at. Informative placards. I was the only one there.
The visitor center had museum exhibits which I looked at after the tour while I enjoyed the candy. Warning: if you eat too many pieces, you might start to get a little woozy. They don't cook off the alcohol. Candy pieces were included in tour price.

Funny timing as I have been invited over to Kentucky next year for a wedding. Never been before and was informed by a couple of yanks we bumped into in Venice that there was nothing to see in that part of the country.
We're traveling all the way from the UK so really want to make use of the trip. Can you recommend any other must-see things in that part of the country (nature and/or city?
It'll be in the summer.

Some advice. If you do Makers Mark. Become an ambassador. Its free. You get your name engraved on a barrel that will age. You get a free Christmas gift every year. Most importantly, you get free tours for life from Makers Mark for life.
Side mark. Bardstown is the closest big city to you. Christmas time its beautiful down there.

Very informative video. Thirty years ago, I sold equipment to a number of distilleries around the Clermont-Bardstown area. THAT'S THE WAY TO SEE THE DISTILLERIES! I didn't pay them; they paid me with their orders. That said, it is a fascinating industry, with more history, art and science than you can imagine.

Thank you for telling people to not shot the whiskey. I do tastings and people always just throw it back and then wonder why its harsh. Go to Bardstown. So many distilleries around there to make it a good hub. Always love finding inexpensive bourbon that you can only get in KY.

Our backroads in Central KY are narrow, curvy, and hilly. This is especially true around the Makers distillery. Take your time because you don't want to rear-end a car or truck you didn't see. Worse yet, you don't want to go off the road and hit a tree or go down into a ditch.

Great video, but this is something I don't have worry about. I actually don't like bourbon. I'm a scotch single malt kind of guy, and my favorites are the peated whiskies from the island of Islay, like Lagavullin, Laphroaig and not least Ardbeg. And no ice or water, please

As someone who works at a tour distillery, one thing I would say is to be respectful to the tour guides. It's incredibly frustrating when you're speaking to a group of people and they're staring at their phones. Why would you pay for a tour and not pay attention during it?
