Trying and going to the bourdon distilleries was a wonderful experience. The tour guide was a native of Louisville and was very knowledgeable about history of the city.
If you are visiting Louisville and have limited time, this tour is the answer. Our guide, Alec, was amazing. He shared personal stories along with local history as we walked through multiple neighborhoods. We had tastings at three distilleries and Alec's connections seemed to provide behind the scenes access. We were running ahead of scheduled so he added an additional bar stop as well.. Highly recommend!
