5 stars isn't enough for Kentucky Bourbon Boys. We packed an unbelievable amount into two days without ever feeling rushed or stressed. Day one included Whiskey Thief, Woodford Reserve, and Buffalo Trace. Day two took us through Bardstown Bourbon Company, Maker's Mark, and Heaven Hill. Every stop offered something completely different, and the lunches planned in advance were outstanding. The weather was perfect, but the real difference-maker was our driver and guide, Jeff Ramsey. Jeff was knowledgeable, funny, professional, always on time, and genuinely made the trip memorable. We do a lot of tours and experiences like this, and Jeff was simply the best guide we've had anywhere. Everything was seamless from start to finish. I won't book with any other group for future Bourbon Trail trips. read more

Couldn't be happier with the tour we got. We asked for smaller craft distilleries with character and passion, and that is exactly what we got. Came home with numerous bottles that I will be enjoying for a long time. Our guide, Jack, was great and made sure we enjoyed the experiences but also kept us on track. Couldn't recommend them more highly read more

Everything from start to finish! The van was so nice, Ethan was amazing, fun and so knowledgeable. The ride was great. Awesome experience! Can't wait for the next trip! read more

Kentucky Bourbon Boys - Our awesome ride that they turned into the Kentucky Bourbon "Girls" - Tours Near Me

Our 6 man guy trip had a great time doing brunch and a custom private 3 distillery tour with the Kentucky Bourbon boys. Jessica who handled the initial phone call was very professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Kaitlin, our booking co-ordinator was very responsive to our needs and provided rapid communication to get our trip set up at the last minute (I contacted her on Wed to set it up for the coming weekend.) Roger our driver was pleasant, knowledgeable, communicated well and. Glad went with Kentucky Boys and would go with them without hesitation on any subsequent trips. On short they were awesome! read more

I will start off and say I am sure this company is great. It has great reviews. I didn't book them but the three individuals at Castle and Key on Thursday Sept 25, 2025 were 3 of the rudest people. We started that tour at the key outside of Castle and Key Springhouse. Believe every tour started there. These polo wearing individuals were loud and just rude. If you take people from place to place. Why would you act like a dipstick and talk over the speaker. It was very distracting and very disrespectful. I mentioned when I was asked how the tour was and I said great besides the 3 titled grown men that absolutely butchered your brand with laughter and comments on taking people here and there. I am sure you can see who it was. The guy with the grey peppered hair with so much hair product trying to look hip was the worst of the three. These guys should know better. Do better because it is a heck of an experience and you have great reviews. I just won't ever book with you all or recommend because of this unfortunate event. read more

Kentucky Bourbon Boys was a fantastic choice for planning and scheduling our distillery tours and tastings.Our driver/concierge, Brett, was a personable, knowledgeable local, and was just plain fun to travel with. With no shortage of distilleries in and around Louisville, KBB asked if we had any favorite bourbon brands or other preferences, and managed all the arrangements, including lunches and even a couple of wine tastings to accommodate the whiskey non-fan in our group. This was a great experience. If you need any distillery recommendations, I would select a couple of traditional names (Evan Williams, Buffalo Trace, etc.), then work in a trip to Bardstown Bourbon for a thoroughly modern take on the craft. read more

We spent two amazing days on the Bourbon Trail with Brett from Kentucky Bourbon Boys, and it couldn't have been better! He's a Lexington native who knows everything about the area and its bourbon history. Brett was fun, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable -- he made the whole experience easy, memorable, and a blast from start to finish. Highly recommend! read more

We spent two days visiting six distilleries with Kentucky Bourbon Boys. The van was luxe and very comfortable and they offered us waters and snacks throughout the day. High praise for our driver Tim Landers who was absolutely superb. Not only was he a good driver but he was personable, fun, informative, and an all around nice guy. Little things matter: when we would make a purchase at one of the distilleries he would politely take the shopping bags from us after the register and whisk them to the back of the van. Kentucky Bourbon Boys took care of our tours and tastings, reservations for lunch, and paid for our lunches at very nice locations. All we had to do was show up and go. Highly recommend these guys and DO NOT forget to request Tim! read more

You absolutely should not look any further when booking a bourbon trail tour company. I was impressed with Kentucky Bourbon Boys from the moment I spoke with Tim to design our tour. He asked what we were interested in and then made amazing recommendations. He was truly engaged and invested in our tour and made sure we had exactly what we wanted. The feeling I got from our initial phone conversation put me at ease that we were in good hands. Jessica followed up to confirm our distilleries close to our departure date and she was phenomenal in communicating and making sure we were all set. Our driver Rodger texted the day prior to our tour and arrived at our bed and breakfast promptly to pick us up. He was so nice, professional and knowledgeable about bourbon and the area. We couldn't have been happier with our experience with Kentucky Bourbon Boys! read more

Long overdue review but such a great experience and Larry D. was the best! Small touches such as apple fritters for us so we didn't taste on an empty stomach and lots of much needed water in the van. Loved the tour and tasting at Bulleit, Whiskey Thief and Buffalo Trace. Lunch at Bell House restaurant was sweet; service was super friendly. We will book again next time and try 3 more distilleries. Thanks Larry D. for all your tips, tricks and great conversation along the way! read more

Every 5 star review on here is accurate. These guys are great. From the moment Roger picked us up to the very end he made sure we had a great time. The schedule was kept well and when we got ahead of ourselves Roger took us to other distillers to keep the tour flowing. The timing and quality of our lunch at Maywood was spectacular. Even the van was luxurious. read more

Booked a custom three distillery tour for my bachelor party. We went with KBB over the other companies, because their tours were fully customizable. This allowed me to make sure we can visit my favorite distilleries while still having a great tour. From the start, the crew at KBB was very responsive and willing to answer any questions I had prior to booking. In the weeks prior to the tour, they were very easy to work with while gathering all the details needed for our day. The day of our tour, our driver, Ethan, showed up exactly on time and walked us through the plan for the day. The bus was clean, spacious and snacks + waters were provided. Ethan was knowledgable about bourbon, local history and things to do near our stay. Since our first three planned tours ended early, we were able to sneak in an additional stop for cocktails at another distillery. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend KBB to anyone looking to explore the Bourbon Trail. read more

If you are looking for a tour company to help navigate your KY bourbon experience, then look no further! Traveling from PA, I had planned a tour with friends as a surprise for my husband's 50th birthday (9 of us total). The KYBB made everything easier. They communicated with me to help with arrangements, organized a spot for lunch, and overall knowledge of the area. Our shuttle arrived promptly on time, was clean, had water and snacks available, but most importantly, we had the absolute best driver, Scott!!! He went above and beyond to make this the best experience for all of us. He was gracious and insightful about the area. I do not have 1 negative thing to say. Everyone had so many compliments and said what a great idea it was to have KYBB host our tour. Hands down the best in town, and I highly recommend them to anyone interested in doing a Bourbon tour. read more

Can't recommend Kentucky Bourbon Boys enough!! We chose KBB for a bachelor party of 8. The communication from the start from Jessica Miller was stellar. Very organized, fair price. Our driver Rob was an absolute gem. Great driving, kept to the schedule, communication was spot on, van was clean and cool in the Kentucky 95 degrees. Not a single hiccup when we got to the 3 locations and if it helps in any way the tour guides at the distilleries were brilliant as well. I will rave about and highly recommend the Kentucky Bourbon Boys tour to anybody that will listen!!! read more

Kentucky Bourbon Boys (KBB) did it again! My two younger brothers, sister, and I "Christmas-Gifted" our 87-year-old Mom a one-day KBB tour of Buffalo Trace Distillery, Bluegrass Distillers, and Woodford Reserve Distillery yesterday and it was memorable. Four of us drove down from Pennsylvania and one flew up from Florida. A full day (8:30 AM - 6 PM) with Roger, our award-winning (no kidding) luxury van driver and guide, who was prompt, professional, and extremely well versed in the history of bourbon, Kentucky, and just about anything you wanted to discuss. Our Mom had never tasted straight bourbon before, and it didn't matter. Our experience was a fantastic and fun day of learning, appreciation and togetherness from a mature group of siblings to their well-deserving Mom . . . one we'll all cherish a lifetime. Thank you Roger and KBB! The Giallonardo Family read more

Our group of 6 had an excellent experience with Bourbon Boys for 3 days in a row. Our driver Jamie Gerrish was excellent to the point that he did a practice run to our locations before our tours. The timing and coordination of our pick up, 2 tours each day, lunch, and return was perfect. Our communications with the highly efficient office staff allowed us to create custom tours in the comfort of a luxury van. We highly recommend Kentucky Bourbon Boys. read more

Kentucky Bourbon Boys September 9 and 12, 2024 Day 1: September 9 Our guide and drive Jack showed up right on time (actually 10 minutes early) for our drive to Lexington Brewing Company (and Distillery) in Lexington. This tour and tasting was recommended by the staff at KBB. We enjoyed the small group (the 4 of us, plus another few) and learned Lexington's brewing methods (their Bourbon Barrel Aged Milk Stout beer is outstanding) and tasting (I only tasted the whiskeys :)). I always love trying bourbon I haven't had before. Lunch was Staxx BBQ in Frankfort - our pre-ordered lunch was waiting for us when we arrived. We then visited Whiskey Thief - tasted straight from the barrel via the copper "whiskey thief" device and we were able to fill out own bottles from the various barrel strength whiskeys. What a special opportunity. Our third stop was the historic Buffalo Trace distillery. We learned the history of Buffalo Trace, how they make their various bourbons and even saw the Blanton's bottling line in action (we weren't allowed to sneak a bottle off the line, however :(). The special of the day was the Col Taylor small batch ! Each of us allowed to buy one. Also on hand was their Single Oak Project (experimental) half bottles and we had to buy one as they so rarely are offered. What a treat. Day 2 September 12 Jack was on time once again (10 minutes early) for the 90 minute drive to the Kentucky Cooperage in Lebanon, KY, for the tour of the largest barrel making operation in the country (as far as we can tell). We got to go behind the scenes to see them actually build/repair a barrel, feel the fire as they charred the barrel and complete the process with the bands and lids and bottoms. They make the barrels for almost every distillery in the country (and likely more), each done to the specifications of the distillery. This was on our bucket list and we highly recommend this tour. We then traveled to Bardstown to Heaven Hill Distillery. Heaven Hill makes so many brands: Elijah Craig, Evan Williams, McKenna, Larceny, Pikesville and more. We were able to taste Elijah Craig and Heaven Hill - again, this was on my list as last time in Kentucky, Heaven Hill was not open due to the pandemic. Jack also took us down the road to take a look at the gift shop at Willett Distillery - we will need to return to do their tour and tasting another time. And then, to Makers Mark in Loretto. As a Makers Mark Ambassador it was time for my Golden Ticket tour and to obtain bourbon from my assigned barrel. The Ambassador tour was special as we visited buildings that are not part of the usual tour and we were able to taste some excellent Makers Mark single bar and Makers 46. The back story at Makers is fascinating and well worth the trip to Star Hill Farm. We highly recommend the Kentucky Bourbon Boys when you are visiting Kentucky for the Bourbon trail. They handled all the reservations for tours and tasting, lunches and of course, driving with fun commentary on the history of Kentucky and all the amazing country-side. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and their recommendations for visits to some of the less known distilleries (Lexington, Whiskey Thief to name just 2) and the Kentucky Cooperage made this a trip we will always remember. Thank you Jack and team at Kentucky Bourbon Boys. read more

Just spent two days with our driver / tour guide Roger of The Kentucky Bourbon Boys. We visited 3 distilleries per day all planned by the Boys. Had plenty of time between each to have Roger explain the area and local sites. Each day they had an amazingly delish lunch for us at local restaurants. See pics below. The price for the 6 of us was great with everything included. If you're thinking of experiencing the Bourbon Trail give The Bourbon Boys a call and ask for Roger as your guide ! read more

It's hard to explain how much we enjoyed our 2 days on the Bourbon Trail with Kenny from Kentucky Bourbon Boys (KBB). Knowing that KBB had coordinated all the details of our trip made it easy for us to sit back and have fun. Our guide Kenny was great. Very personable, knowledgeable and easy going. For our trip, we picked Buffalo Trace, 4 Roses, Bardstown and Heaven Hill to visit. KBB recommended two craft distillers Whiskey Thief and Preservation. Lunch reservations each day were taken care of by KBB and we made menu choices in advance. There were 4 in our party and we felt like VIPs traveling in a lux KBB van that was very comfortable. Each day, all we had to do was meet down in the lobby of our hotel and Kenny took care of the rest. I think we had just as much fun, if not more, while traveling thru the countryside and over the rolling hills of Kentucky than we did at the distilleries. We got lucky the second day at Heaven Hill. As we were checking in, they had a special release of an Elijah Craig Barrel Select "grenade"...one which we enjoyed very much on the trip back to the hotel. I can't speak enough about how stress-free this trip was. Also, it was really neat to see all the differences between the distilleries...like how we went from a mega factory of Buffalo Trace to the cool small site of Whiskey Thief - where we had a blast pulling our own samples straight from the barrel. Thank you all at Kentucky Bourbon Boys for making our trip a memorable one and a special thanks to Kenny. We'll be telling everyone about our awesome experience and hope to come back again!! read more

Three couples from our Sunday School class decided to try a tour, and we're glad we chose KBB. Our driver, Tim L. was a great host! He was very knowledgeable about the distilleries in the area. He gave additional recommendations for where to eat and what to do in Louisville. He even brought some snacks and water. It was a nice bus with room for a few coolers. We went to Makers Mark, Barton 1792, and Willet. All good tours. We'll do it again and try different ones. read more

Highly recommend this company! We had a blast going through Kentucky Bourbon Boys. Our tour guide was Chris and he was super knowledgeable about the area and about the bourbon at each distillery. He picked us up right on time at our airbnb and despite a huge accident we encountered on the highway that threw off some of our scheduled tour times, Chris managed to still get us into all the distilleries for our tours/ tastings. He was awesome, and our group really enjoyed spending the day with him! We had a great day touring Buffalo Trace, Bulleit, and Three Boys Distillery. It was agreed upon as a group that we would definitely come back to Kentucky to do the tours again with Kentucky Bourbon Boys and try to request Chris! read more

KBB was excellent! The staff was extremely helpful in assisting me with 2 days and 6 distillery tour. This was a gift for my brother and I needed a one stop shop. I asked to be able to experience large "corporate" type locations as well as back of the farm. The selections by KBB did not disappoint. Our driver Trevor was amazing! On time, great discussions and history about the regions and the specific distilleries we visited.

One word - AMAZING! We recently travelled to Kentucky to celebrate a few friends' birthdays while also getting the opportunity to visit some distilleries and enjoy bourbon. We visited absolutely enjoyed distillery visits and commend the Bourbon Boys for putting together our itinerary which included facilitating a larger group (7) during COVID, all while making sure safety remained top of mind. During the travel to the different distilleries, Rusty shared with us information about the distilleries, Kentucky overall, and the little towns we were visiting. While Rusty was "just" our punctual, hip, & safe driver, we walked away calling him a friend! He was kind and generous - round of applause and all the kudos to him! read more

Fantastic 3 day tour with KBB! Could not have had more fun on a 3 day father-son trip. Megan initially set up the trip. Her recommendations were spot on. Tyler was the tour coordinater and he made sure everything was in order. And thanks for making my special lunch request happen! Ethan was our driver, host and gereral tour guide. He made thr trip so enjoyable. He was professional yet easy to talk to and so knowledgeable about all things bourbon. KBB could not have a better representative. I can't say enough good things about the whole experience , but what I can see is that I will be back, hopefully yearly, and will only use KBB! read more

Wow another great experience from KBB! Tim and team listened to our must haves and filled in the rest of opt 3 days with fun, unique, and interesting visits. Lunches weee great. And then there is Rodger our "driver/guide". I'm not sure there is anyone in Kentucky he doesn't know as he seems to have never met a stranger. His vast wealth of knowledge of what's going on what's hot what's happening in the bourbon industry was amazing. It really added an extra dimension of quality to our visit. He is so punctual and always so nice. It is a joy to have him take us around the state. The next time we book tours for Bourbon Country, it will be with KBB and we will of course ask for Roger yet again! read more
