Why choose this Kentucky tour ?

After leaving the river, you will travel to the distillery, where you will go on the “Old Taylor Tour”. Take a walk through bourbon history alongside E.H. Taylor Jr., the man who revolutionized the industry. Included in this tour will be a progressive bourbon tasting of EH Taylor products.
