This Lot Benefits: Westonwood Ranch

They say necessity is the mother of invention, and Bourbon is no exception. Established in 1785, Bourbon County is one of Kentucky’s oldest counties. As an early hub of whiskey trade, farmers shipped whiskey in oak barrels stamped from Bourbon County down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, all the way to New Orleans. The long trip aged the whiskey, while the oak wood lent it a distinct mellow flavor and amber color. As whiskey from Bourbon County grew in popularity, the liquor became known simply as “Bourbon.”

For those who thirst for new experiences, let us immerse you in Louisville’s bourbon culture. Two couples will board a private Citation jet for three nights of immersion on the Bourbon Trail. Stay in refined luxury at downtown Louisville’s Hotel Distil, located on the famed Whiskey Row. At Hotel Distil, you will step into a modern space through a historic façade, where gracious service and modern amenities flow like the Bourbon once barreled at the historic site.

Every detail of your journey has been planned for you by your private tour guide. Enjoy two full days of private tours and hands-on tasting experiences at Stitzel-Weller, Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, and more with a stop in Bardstown one day for lunch. 

The possibilities are endless for a truly un-replicated experience on the Bourbon Trail.
