Known for its bourbon, Louisville is the perfect
place to enjoy drinks from your favorite distilleries.
If you want to get a taste of what used to be
called "Whiskey Row," visit the Evan Williams
Bourbon Experience (528 West Main Street).
Visitors start their tours by going through video
experiences where they learn the history of Evan
Williams and later pass by the artisanal distillery.
The tour is concluded with tastings and a visit to
the gift shop, which has everything from personal-
ized bottles to bourbon-scented soap.
Other stops on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail
include Proof on Main, Bristol Bar & Grille, Jockey
