The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is a bucket-list must for Bluegrass bourbon lovers, offering a tour de force of some of the world’s most iconic and distinguished distilleries. Most of these destinations, however, are in the central region of the state, leaving, say, Northern Kentucky bourbon lovers out of the equation. But with the self-guided B-Line Bourbon Trail, those looking for a taste of the Bluegrass State’s northern distillers can enjoy a mini, world-class bourbon trail in Northern Kentucky.
There’s no bourbon like Bluegrass bourbon, and this spirit is an inextricable and celebrated part of Kentucky culture.

The destinations on this Northern Kentucky bourbon trail are just as acclaimed as their Central KY counterparts. Prohibition Bourbon Bar, for example, is hailed as the “World’s Largest Bourbon Bar,” and it has over 1,500 varieties (that’s over 6,000 bottles) of whiskey… and counting.
