Bourbon is booming. And with the boom comes a new range of experiences to enjoy the American Spirit. From a classic Bourbon tasting experience where you nose and sample, to the more hands on experience of thieving straight-from-the-barrel for the full flavor hit — the industry has enhanced the experience surrounding Bourbon tasting of late, and we (along with the masses) aren’t complaining!

Expertly Crafted Bourbon Tours
CONNECT WITH OTHER BOURBON ENTHUSIASTS ON A PUBLIC BOURBON TOUR
Guests can choose from an established public Bourbon tour itinerary that takes them to three distilleries — a mix of well-known and craft distilleries that each have a different experience attached to them (tour, tasting, thieving).
The entire day is organized for guests, so you can focus on what really matters — the craftsmanship and heritage of Kentucky Bourbon! Transportation is covered in the tour so guests don’t have to worry about navigating or finding a designated driver. Tickets and the itinerary are confirmed in advance so there is no need to worry about coordinating anything. Just sit back and relax.
The Standard Bourbon Tour, But Add Straight-From-The-Barrel Thieving
Thieving and barrel selects have been around for decades, but only recently have they become more available to the general public — and at a much more reasonable price.
If you’ve ever wondered what barrel-proof tastes like, then you’ll want to ensure your Bourbon tour includes a barrel thieving experience. You’ll pull straight-from-the-barrel, splash it into a nosing glass and taste what makes that specific barrel so unique.
There are a growing number of distilleries on the Trail™ that now offer barrel thieving. Mint Julep Experiences can help you navigate which tour to book and additional experiences that pair well with thieving. They handle all of the arrangements, ticketing and transportation so you just sit back, relax and enjoy the outing.
