Kentucky Bourbon Trail




Let me say right up front that I don't drink alcohol and I think the world would be a better place without it. However, the Kentucky Bourbon Trail is a fun trip to take because of all the beautiful Kentucky scenery, stately horse farms, stone fences, and historic sites.

Recently I went on a trip with a fellow member of my Naked Goldwings Club. Naked Goldwings were made by Honda from 1975-1984. They have no bags or fairings etc. hence "naked." Even though I think the trip is probably best on a motorcycle or in a convertible, I plan on making the trip again with MKH in our Camry.

Clustered around Louisville are a handful of bourbon distilleries that make 95% of the world's bourbon. We stopped at the Four Roses Distillery, took the tour and found it to be a beautiful location and an interesting tour.

If you go, make sure you travel the roads around Versailles, as they were the best, in my opinion. The area is loaded with historic sites with everything from Daniel Boone to historic Christian revival spots.
