What is the Bourbon Trail?

A tour programme managed by the Kentucky Distillers Association (KDA), the Bourbon Trail or Kentucky Bourbon Trail meant to promote the bourbon industry in Kentucky which is over 200 years old. People who mail in a promotional passport which has been stamped by all the participating distilleries get free T-shirts courtesy the Association. The trail was launched in 1999 by seven of the eight distilleries in the region.
