gateway to bourbon

Our state has a lot of nicknames, but probably one of the most popular is "Bourbon Country." In NKY, we're proud to be the edge to Bourbon Country, a first stop and Gateway to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and home to some amazing history & distilling rebirth. So while you're in town (or even if you're just passing through), be sure to stop at one of our unique distilleries and sample a few.

In the meantime, check out this incredible video that showcases quite a few ways to enjoy bourbon in NKY!
