Bourbon Boat Tour in Frankfort with Tasting

Overview

The Kentucky Bourbon Trail has numerous ways to experience bourbon. Distillery tours, bourbon tastings, cocktail classes and more. But, we are the only look at the bourbon industry from the water!

Why is this important? Kentucky has three things that make the best bourbon: corn, knowledge and limestone filtered spring water! And specifically, without the limestone filtered spring water of the Kentucky River, we may have never had bourbon. Why? Well, that what we explore on our tour. Come find why the history of our state is what gave bourbon what it is, its character and its name.

Our Captains are not only professional mariners, but also phenomenal history guides. They will entertain you and spin for you yarns that are not told anywhere else, or in a more complete picture way, than is offered onboard the boat.

This was one of the best tours I’ve ever taken! The guides were personable, knowledgeable, and funny. I’ve live here all my life, but I learned so much. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed leaning about the history of the area with a very enthusiastic presentation. We would recommend to anyone who would like a different perspective of Buffalo Trace. Also got some great recommendations for some local spots to visit in the area.
