Bourbon Trail vs Whiskey Trail

I think ky, but I worked for Jim beam for a short time.....

Enough Kentucky bourbon and the campground you choose really doesn't matter. A little bit more and who cares about any other sites? I am a Kentucky Bourbon fan for sure.

All bourbon is whiskey but all whiskey is not bourbon.

To be fair in any future reports, you need to take them both.

The difference between good and bad is up to you. My son inlaw works for a company that does its own distilling. He has supplied me with a great number of good brands to try some very expensive. I still go back to a medium priced that I like the taste of, but I have determined that I really like rye. Your trip sounds like a great one and we are going to take one day soon.

I am biased. I like good bourbon and live in Kentucky. Bourbon has gotten like wine with all the tastes and aromas. Try several, find one you like and try other brands from that distillery. Google Bourbon Tree and you will find what distillery makes what and how the brands relate. All of the KY stops are in the triangle between Bardstown, Lexington, and Louisville. Taylorsville Lake and My Old Kentucky State Parks have nice campgrounds. Taylorsville RV Park is campground that opened last year after being closed. I pass it about everyday and the people have done a lot of work on it. They had quiet a few campers this past summer. These would all would be about an hour or less to the distilleries. May 5 is the KY Derby and downtown Louisville will be busy with Derby festival events.

Do the Kentucky trail. Best bourbon in the world. Once you hit a couple of distillers, you will find that there is a world of difference in the products. Some good, some bad and a few excellent ones.

I agree!

Several years ago, we did the KY Trail from Louisville. It was really great--even though I don't drink bourbon! Learned a lot and enjoyed 3 or 4 distilleries along with other travelers.
