The Trail Less Traveled - An Authentic Kentucky Bourbon Tour

Sipping in the South was born from a bold idea: bourbon deserves more than a bus ride, a stamp in a book, and a cookie-cutter, self-guided checklist. That’s where we come in. We’re the local experts who take the trail less traveled, curating exclusive experiences with up to 5 handpicked distilleries. We book the best each one has to offer rare tastings, sipping straight from the barrel with the owner, blending your own bourbon, or mixing your own cocktail. The Kentucky Bourbon Trail® is a nice start, but it’s not the whole story. It features a select group that pay to participate — but some of Kentucky’s best experiences aren’t even on their map. We’re here to change that. Every tour begins with our Private Bourbon 101 Social — a hands-on introduction to nosing and sipping that gives you the tools to truly enjoy what you’re tasting. Because when you understand bourbon, everything else gets better. And yes — we even save 30 minutes for rare finds at local liquor stores.
