Looking for the best home base on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail? Most visitors head straight to Louisville or Bardstown—but they may be overlooking the smartest stop of all.
In Part 3 of our Kentucky Bourbon Trail road trip, we're exploring Elizabethtown, Kentucky, a charming historic town just minutes from Jim Beam, Fort Knox, and several of the state's biggest distilleries. You'll discover why locals call it the "Hub City," stroll its walkable downtown, and meet colorful characters from Abraham Lincoln to Carrie Nation on one of Kentucky's most entertaining historic walking tours.
Then we'll head to the legendary Jim Beam Distillery for one of the Bourbon Trail's most photogenic experiences. You'll ride the shuttle through the grounds, learn how America's best-selling bourbon is made, walk among thousands of aging barrels, and see why this is one of the signature stops on the trail.
Along the way you'll meet Abraham Lincoln's Kentucky connections, Carrie Nation, Civil War legends, and discover why Elizabethtown deserves far more attention than it gets.
Coming up next: Lawrenceburg, Kentucky—the most underrated town on the entire Bourbon Trail.
