Come Find Bourbon is a road trip that’s about the destinations more than the drive. The route can be beautiful, but distances are short—great news since you’re here for the abundant bourbon experiences in Covington, Frankfort, and Bardstown, Kentucky! To see everything of interest you’ll want to return again and again. To help prioritize your to-do list, these popular stops rank high. Covington Located in Northern Kentucky at the edge of Bourbon Country on the Ohio River, Covington celebrates bourbon culture with The B-Line® tour that features distilleries, bars and restaurants. These four stops rank among favorite bourbon-centric to-dos on and off that tour: Knowledge Bar & Social Room at North by Hotel Covington is a very cool space that locals and visitors equally enjoy. It expertly blends sophistication, relaxation, and an energetic vibe. Savor cocktails crafted by master bartenders alongside chef-crafted light bites. Prohibition Bourbon Bar has the cozy vibe of a small Prohibition-era speakeasy. Tucked inside Newberry Bros. Coffee, it boasts the world’s largest collection of bourbon! Build your own tasting flight, try a recommended flight, or let a pro choose a mystery lineup. Revival Vintage Spirits and Bottle Shop offers mind-boggling opportunities to taste and purchase rare and vintage libations. Whether there’s a specific brand, style, or year that you’ve always wanted to sip, realize that dream here. Knowledgeable staff members can guide your journey and recommend sips to suit your palate. Wenzel Whiskey offers a whiskey blending experience. Come tap from the finest barrels and make your own one-of-a-kind blend. Limited releases like “The Proprietors’ Blend” are also available for purchase while supplies last. Beyond bourbon, don’t miss the Roebling Suspension Bridge , Devou Park , Covington Yard , local shops including Donna Salyers Fabulous Furs and Purple Paisley Local Artisans , Mainstrasse Village , Newport on the Levee , and St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption modeled on Notre Dame.

Standout producers to visit on your Come Find Bourbon getaway. Kentucky’s authentic bourbon road trip to Covington , Frankfort , and Bardstown links dozens of bourbon-related fun things to do . Odds are that touring distilleries is on your to-do list. We’re home to over two dozen options, each one well worth a visit. If you can only squeeze three distilleries into your schedule, this trio of unique producers proves that different is fascinating. Neeley Family Distillery Neely Family Distillery in Sparta (about halfway between Covington and Frankfort) is a small family-owned production. It opened in 2015 when 10th-generation Roy Neeley and 11th generation Royce Neeley took the family business legal for the first time. “We’re completely family-owned and -operated,” says Royce. “It’s three generations working together. Our family has been distilling, mostly illegally, longer than the Beam family.” The family-built distillery displays some family artifacts including a still that was used to make moonshine in the 1890s, antique guns, newspaper articles, and a 1955 Bel Air formerly used to haul moonshine. The distillery, which was featured on an episode of the Discovery Channel’s “Moonshiners,” welcomes visitors on 90-minute tours that include a tasting. “It’s very in-depth and covers the ABCs of bourbon,” says Royce. “We also talk about the illegal side and what it was like for a family from Eastern Kentucky—you don’t get that anywhere else.” Learn how the Neeleys grow and work their yeast. Dip your fingers into open-topped cypress fermenters to taste the sweet mash. “We’re one of only three distillers in Kentucky making sweet mash,” says Royce. “We use old-school methods. Our bourbon is 100-percent triple pot distilled, and it’s the only one in the state.” The Neeleys’ focus is on quality not quantity. All products are produced on site and bottled by hand, including the award-winning bourbons. The unique absinthe is made in a refurbished antique still with herbs grown on site. “It’s North America’s most award-winning absinthe, the only one certified platinum, and the only one to win double gold three years in a row,” Royce says.
