Review:
The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is a fun thing to do if you are traveling without kids and have the taste and appreciation for fine aged American whiskey. A part of the trail, the Heaven Hill Bourbon Heritage Center, offers a range of distillery tours, and some very special samples. Heaven Hill Distilleries, located in Bardstown, is the largest independent, family-owned producer of Bourbon in America.
The distillery was established in 1934 but the original Bardstown distillery burned down in fire in 1996. During the tour, experienced Bourbon hosts take visitors through the Bourbon Heritage Center. On one specific tour, you will visit Rickhouse Y, then return to the Parker Beam Tasting Barrel for an "educational" tasting of three of the distillery’s most acclaimed Whiskeys, from different mashbills.
