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.
