My wife and I have been on the trail 3 or 4 times. She has a good time and doesn't even like bourbon.

I would recommend Jim Beam as they have the largest campus with the most to do. After that I like going through makers mark. All the distilleries have something unique to go for.

If you watch your time you'll probably only get about 3 of them done in a day.
If you have the time, try going through Independant Stave Company. They are a cooperage that makes barrels for a variety of makers in and out of the area.

Have a great time!

I stayed in Louisville the 2 times I went down to the trail. BT is a must, Four Roses is also cool. I had fun at Bourbon Row in downtown Louisville. I also have done AngelsENvy. Wanted to do rabbit hole but never got there. The Louisville Omni is top class, great bars there along with food. I enjoy Doc Crows when I am in town also.

I did the Makers ambassador tour in November. As said above tours fill up quickly at about all the distilleries.

Buffalo Trace is my Favorite, and I also enjoy many of the smaller distilleries that you can find.
