NO BRAINER! MUST GO! - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Awesome experience with Mike and Dan! Highly recommend for the family (21+) or friends. You’ll learn more about whiskey, horses, farms, and Kentucky as a whole than you could ever imagine. I plan to do the other tours with the same driver and guide in the future.

Bourbon Tour - 9 distilleries in 3 days - We had a great time last week. Ron and Neil were both terrific. We really enjoyed Vendome. It felt like we had a behind the scenes tour and made a the distillery tours even move interesting.
Our dinner at the Red Hog was fabulous and the general manager gave us tons of attention. Throughout the week, we didn't feel rushed but we were able to see and taste so much. We were delighted to find out the Art eatables candy was entirely nut free. We made a special trip there on Sunday morning to buy lots of candy and thank them for making nut free items.
The people we met on the trip made everything even more enjoyable. It was a pleasure to spend time together and enjoy the bourbon. Thank you for putting the trip together!

First timers and didn’t disappoint! - Never been on “the trail” wanted something private so we wouldn’t be overwhelmed. Mint Julip Experiences didn’t disappoint. Our driver, Clark was knowledgeable and guided us so we didn’t feel uncertain. Perfect amount of time at each distillery. Will rebook with them for new “trails” to experience in the future.

No need to look any further. Go with Mint Julep and they’ll handle the rest. - From start to finish Mint Julep was amazing. Anna was very easy to deal with, very responsive to all my questions that rose. Tony, the best driver there ever was. I cannot say a bad thing about my overall experience. I would recommend Mint Julep to anyone, in my opinion it’s the only way to tour the bourbon trail.

Bourbon Bachelor Party - Wow! The team at Mint Julep provided a fantastic day for our group (bachelor party). Rob and Larry were amazing guides and got us to and from the distilleries safely, and with entertainment! The entire day was seamless and there were no unexpected surprises or additional expenses that we incurred. We were a group of 15 people with varying levels of bourbon knowledge who all enjoyed the distilleries we visited. Each experience was unique and memorable from Jim Beam, to Heaven Hill to Bardstown. Would highly recommend using Mint Julep tours and we can't wait to schedule another trip with them in the future!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A+++++ EXPERIENCE!!! - Oh my gosh!! I was absolutely blown away with my experience with Mint Julep. From my booking experience with Abby Chism to the beautiful drives with the wonderful Jerry Crabtree. Jerry is the absolute best tour guide I've ever worked with and im absolutely blown away with his kindness, professionalism, and hospitality. I really enjoyed his vast knowledge he shared about bourbon and the trails, history of kentucky and the makers of each bourbon. I could not have asked for a better person to be our guide. This trip was a two day private tour for me and my husband. From the moment of booking, Mint Julep helped me navigate the experience so my husband would truly enjoy every single second. And truthfully, I enjoyed it sooo much too. We visited Woodford Reserve, castle and key, buffalo Trace, makers mark, Willet and Heaven Hill. We did a total of four tours along with tasting at each stop. We even had time for a fee special stops thanks to Jerry!

Kentucky Bourbon Trail Tour Review - We had an incredible time on our bourbon tour with Mint Julep! The itinerary was perfectly planned! Everything ran smoothly and we got to visit some amazing distilleries without ever feeling rushed.
Our guide, Jerry, absolutely made the experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable, full of great stories, and just so much fun to be around. The drives between stops flew by thanks to his humor and insights — it felt like we were hanging out with an old friend who happened to know everything about bourbon and Kentucky history.
If you’re thinking about booking a tour, do it; and if you're lucky enough to get Jerry as your guide, you’re in for an awesome day!

Perfect way to visit the Kentucky Bourbon Trail! - My friends and I have been wanting to visit the Kentucky Bourbon Trail for years and booking a Mint Julep tour was the perfect way to do it! I worked with them to book a private tour for my 40th birthday, and it was great. They were wonderful to work with - accommodating and responsive. I got to pick which three distilleries to visit (Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Jeptha Creed) and each experience was unique and memorable. Plus, our guide shared some fun and interesting trivia on the drive and fit in some unscheduled stops along the way. Nearly everyone from my group raved about our day!

Excellent tour - Tom and Neil made our Bourbon experience individualized and very interesting. They went out of their ways to ensure we had a great time even making a few extra stops because we had time.
