ThirstyinOhio Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 5 of the 7 distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail charge. Four Roses and Wild Turkey do not. Wild Turkey is building a new visitor center. I would not be surprised if they start charging once complete. Barton and Buffalo Trace do not charge either. You can visit 3 distilleries per day if you keep moving and grab lunch on the road. 2 per day would be much more relaxing if you have the time. Most tours are only available from 10:00am to 3:30 pm. Those 5+ hours disappear really fast when wandering around, taking photos, asking questions, sampling and checking out the gift shop.I would also recommend visiting during the week. Weekends are very busy with visitors and several do not distill or bottle on the weekend.Jim Beam offers a self guided tour that includes the tastings for free, so one could argue that 3 tours are free.

VAGentleman Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 You don't get to go inside and tour the actual distillery on the free tour though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
