Just came back from touring several of the Distilleries in KY - wonderful and memorable experience.
Highly Recommended tours and tastings:
* Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort (& complimentary!)
* Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg
* Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown (& complimentary!)
* Willett Distillery in Bardstown
* Kentucky Peerless Distilling in Louisville
* Mitcher's Fort Nelson makes great whiskies and their tasting is quite educational. (Unfortunately, the tour was in their Louisville Welcome Center and not their main operating distillery.)
Went to a Total Wine & More, Louisville, location to pick up several bottles - the selection and pricing appeared to be good (but nowhere near as extensive and low as The Party Source in Bellevue, KY).
