Did you know? The leading importers of Kentucky whiskey last year were Spain, Japan, Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, and Germany. Kentucky distillers shipped over $452 million of product abroad in 2017, with whiskey accounting for about 85 percent of the total. Other products exported by Kentucky distillers include grape brandy, liqueurs, cordials, vodka, rum, and gin. The value of exports is now triple what it was in 1997, reflecting growth in both volume and price.

Distillery spotlight: Maker’s Mark in Loretto, KY A revolutionary bourbon created by a husband and literally topped off by his wife. Bill Samuels, Sr. Was on a quest for a new bourbon that he could share with family and friends. After trial and error, using baked bread with various grain combinations as opposed to distilling, Bill settled upon a combination replacing the traditional rye grain with soft, red winter wheat. This swap gives Maker’s the sweetness it’s known for today. Bill’s wife, Margie Samuels, came up with the ingenious idea of hand dipping the tops of the bottles in red wax to make them stand out on the shelves. Everything from the shape of the bottle, to the label, to the name, is thanks to Margie. Margie also made sure the grounds and buildings were beautiful and in tip top shape. Visitors today can relish in the beauty of Star Hill Farms as well as the unique color combination of the buildings. Margie is often credited with founding bourbon tourism. Today the distillery and business is run by Bill and Margie Samuels grandson, Rob Samuels. Visitors to Maker’s Mark distillery can see the founding of bourbon tourism as well as dip their own red wax topped bottle! Main photo via makersmark.com Maker’s Mark is along our Southern Trail.

Travel to the heart of Bluegrass Country where multi-million dollar Thoroughbreds graze in their rich lush farmlands and then view the hundreds of rickhouses that are aging the many fine bourbons of Kentucky. There is a castle built in the late 1880s by Colonel E.H. Taylor called Castle and Key with a working distillery in the original structure. Travel a little further south to see the beautiful old Mission Revival architecture of Four Roses Distillery that uses 10 very distinctive and extraordinary sour mash recipes to distill their Bourbons. Buffalo Trace, the distillery that made Pappy Van Winkle such a rare and highly sought after Bourbon, is along the way - as is Woodford Reserve that offers some of the most popular Bourbons in the world. #bourbonhalltours #bourbonlovers #easterntrail #jepthacreed #fourroses #buffalotrace #castleandkey #bourbon #visitkentucky #travel #tours

Distillery Spotlight: Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, KY. Four Roses was founded in by Paul Jones Jr. In 1884 He moved his thriving business to Louisville, KY, taking up residence on the famed 'Whiskey Row'. Four years later Mr. Jones trademarked the Four Roses name all the way back to the 1860's. In 1922 the Paul Jones Company purchased the Frankfort Distilling Company. In 1943 Seagram's purchased the Frankfort Distilling Company for the primary purpose of acquiring Four Roses Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Four Roses had been a bestselling bourbon in America in the 30's, 40', and 50's. With Europe and Asia's alcohol markets booming, Seagram's made the decision to discontinue selling Four Roses in the US and moved it to Europe and Asia where it thrived. In February 2002 Kirin Brewing Company Ltd. purchased the Four Roses Bourbon brand trademark and production facilities. The new acquisition was named Four Roses Distillery LLC, and just like that, Four Roses was brought back to the United States! To learn more about the journey that Four Roses has taken please book our eastern tour! http://bourbonhalltours.com/#/eastern-tour
