Tucked perfectly between Louisville and Lexington in the heart of Bourbon Country, Frankfort is a friendly little town that’s known for being home to three major bourbon distilleries. For folks setting out to explore the famous Kentucky Bourbon Trail, which includes 46 distilleries spanning across six regions, this is a must-stop destination largely because it’s the home base of Buffalo Trace Distillery.

About The Boat-Based Bourbon Tour A road trip is the usual method of transportation for people looking to experience the trail, but a boat ride makes a serious case for being the most fun way to traverse the trail.

They’re going to need a bigger boat.

With a casino and show-girls.

Frankfort Have you ever been there? It’s three parts little town to one part capital. Bourbon is king. The capital is an afterthought.

My fifth great grand uncle invented Bourbon. His name was Elijah T. Craig. Next time you’re in a bar, look for his label.

It is a nice little town. There’s some interesting things to see. It’s got an incredibly unique and poignant Vietnam Memorial. Nobody should go to Frankfurt without seeing it.

Spent a week in Kentucky two summers ago, including three visits to Buffalo Trace. Brought over 10 gallons of bourbon back to Virginia with me. Hard to get any Buffalo Trace products here. I gifted some, but still got a buch left.
