Distilleries by region
The Kentucky Distillers' Association said on January 29, 2026 that the Kentucky Bourbon Trail had reached 68 stops. The public directory at kybourbontrail.com/distillery listed 69 destinations when this page was checked on November 5, 2026. Regions below are the directory's own labels, including when a town sits outside the city the region is named for. A few names appear twice because the directory lists a distillery and a separate tasting room. Whiskey Thief is one of those: the tasting room is in Louisville, and the distillery listing is in Frankfort. Count the live directory before you plan passport stamps. The Kentucky Bourbon Trail overview explains how to pace a day. The Louisville distillery map is the city walking directory.
