RIDE THE URBAN BOURBON TRAIL!
You’ve heard of the Kentucky Bourbon trail… but have you ever heard of the Louisville Bourbon trail? Well, there are so many Louisville bourbon bars in the metro area that they have their own name: The Urban Bourbon Trail. Each qualifying business must offer at least 50 different varieties of Bourbon to appear in the guide. They must also have an experienced staff, ready to walk you through nosing each variety. Once you’ve filled up your passport, you can trade it in for a souvenir t-shirt.
FUN FACT: The Old Fashioned was invented at the Pendennis Club, a private club in Louisville that is open to this day.
