Hi all,
Some friends and I are planning a spring (March/April/May) trip to KY. I'll be able to page through past conversations for advice on places to visit overall, but I wondered if anyone knew of any fun local bourbon events that happen every year during one of those months that we could / should plan around. Not the Derby
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Well, there's always the bourbon trail. You visit distillleries, take tours, have tastings. Then there's the Urban bourbon trail. You get a passport, visit local Louisville bars and get your passport
stamped. When it's fully stamped, you get gifts. t-shirt, coffee cup etc.

If you are staying in Louisville, feel free to give me a call and stop by the Filson Historical Society. If you have my book, I will be happy to sign it for you.

Thanks devilscut for the suggestion; we'll definitely be doing that, but were always wondering about any local, timely events. But the bourbon trail for sure
bourbonv - many thanks as well! I actually just finished your book two days ago while traveling. Couldn't put it down on back to back flights! Really enjoyed it; will definitely stop by.

There is the "Bourbon Sampler" in Bardstown the last weekend of April. Lots of people in town and a great time.
