We spent 3 days traveling the Kentucky Bourbon Trail last August. We spent 1 day in Louisville, one day travelling south east of Louisville, and one day near Lexington. Over the 3 days, we took 6 official tours of the Bourbon-Making process and just visited some other sites to taste-test or purchase bourbons.
We took tours at: Rabbit Hole and Angel's Envy in Louisville, James Bean and Maker's Mark southeast of Louisville, and Bulleit and Four Roses closer to Lexington. By far, the most informative tour of the bourbon making process was at Rabbit Hole, so if you can only do one, make sure it is this one. You will find out more about the process of making bourbon than at any of the other distilleries. James Bean was also interesting because one got to see how a high volume distillery runs. And Bulleit Distillery was distinctive for the innovative and labor-saving barrel storage system they use.
All the taste-testing were also very interesting and each company seemed to have their own special way of making this fun. Lots of fun, even for someone not normally a bourbon drinker.
Again, we took only 3 days and visited 10 distilleries and took 6 tours. You could plan 5 days if you really want to do this justice and visit more of the distilleries on the Bourbon Trail.

The trip was great, and the communication from the team was fantastic. We hit every spot we wanted to and our driver Sheryl was great.

Great food and bourbon. Tours each different and informative. If you do not drink bourbon, you can still enjoy the tour. Loved looking around Bardstown as lots of history there.

I almost gave this a 5 but there were a few glitches. Be sure and call to be sure where you want to go is open. Websites say one thing, and reality sometimes said another. We didn’t take any tours, so that gave us a chance to see more places. And some are so scenic you don’t need a long tour. Plan your route ahead of time… and be flexible to make changes as they come along.

My wife and I traveled from Texas and wanted to taste a variety of bourbons. Thank you to Lux Row for being one of the few places to offer a flight of samples. To the places that only want to offer a special "experience" by going through tour after tour... I am not interested in your product. We are going back to the Tennessee Whiskey Trail next vacation.

First time doing the bourbon trail. Although I am not a drinker it was still a lot of fun. I enjoyed visiting the copperage and seeing how the barrels are made and prepared for businesses world wide. The grounds of all the distilleries were very easy to maneuver for my husband who uses a scooter. We didn’t get to visit all the businesses so we will have to come back. Even if you don’t drink it’s a fun trip. We actually visited in October 2019.

Although, I was not able to go into all the distilleries, I had a great time. The covid-19 had shut down many places and some you were not able to taste or do a tour. Beautiful country!

Bourbon trail in a weekend: Friday 4 distilleries, Sat 4 Distilleries, Sunday 3. Started in Knoxville and traveled up to Lexington for our first stop at Lexington Brewing & Distillery Co Town Branch. Tour time 10am. Then we traveled to Woodford reserve with tour time 12. My wife got use lunch food to go at Glenns creek cafe at Woodford. Traveled to next stop Four Roses Distillery tour time 2:00. Finished day at Wild Turkey Distillery at 4pm. Stayed at Hampton Inn in Frankfort, KY that night.
Next day started early at Buffalo Trace (ITS FREE) and our tour was at 9am. Then we traveled to Evan Williams downtown Louisville on Main street tour time 11:20 (parking located next to building for $6). At this point if you are all about the stamps you could have one person tour and the other go get stamps at other distilleries downtown). Next stop Bulliet Stitzel Weller Distillery with tour time 1pm. Off to American Stillhouse Jim Bean with tour time 3:30 (we were there earlier than that but they had no openings for a tour, just FYI you could schedule probably at 3). Saturday night we stayed in Bardstown KY at Bourbon Manor B&B. We ate that night at Rickhouse Restaurant & lounge (need a reservation for this one we did 6:30--also an option in town they have a dinner train but it leaves at 4:30--we couldn't make it).
Sunday Started at Bardstown Bourbon Company (beautiful place-has lunch that starts at 11:30 very fancy) Tour time 10. Next Bourbon Heritage Center 12:15 tour and ended the day at Makers Mark at 2pm tour.
The whole thing was so fun with most expensive tour ticket at Woodford $20. We got 11 of 17 distilleries in one weekend.

My husband and I spent five days in Kentucky enjoying the distilleries. They may have all had a common theme but all so different in their delivery. O.Z. Tyler was friendly and welcoming, Makers Mark was a larger tour but informative and beautiful grounds. Wild Turkey was a favorite because we got to meet Jimmy Russell the master distiller (50 years) and talk to him. What a gem!!! Susan at Town Branch was amazing. She gave a great tour and the tasting with her was so fun. She has us addicted to Bluegrass Sundowns! Wes at Old Forester in Louisville was awesome. He was so well versed and you actually get to see things (in town) that we didn't see at the others. (making the barrels, charring the barrels...) Four Roses was well worth the stop as well as Bulleit and Evan Williams. Woodford Reserve was a little disappointing, VERY commercial and not very friendly.
We easily could have spent another few days but now we have a reason to go back. Also, as a break from all the bourbon tasting we spent a day at Keeneland race track in Lexington. It was cold the day we visited but SO much fun watching the horse races which started around 1 o'clock and all the pre race activity.
NOTE: The roads to some of the distilleries are narrow, two lane (at best) and sometimes hard to navigate with GPS.

Is there one location that is convenient to the bulk of the distilleries? We 're hoping to do 3 days and would prefer to stay in one accommodation for our trip in September.

You could stay in either Shelbyville, KY or Frankfort, KY the whole time, but that would involve a ton of driving each day, especially to the distilleries south of Louisville. I would not recommend this, but obviously it is up to your own personal desires.
