Urban Bourbon Trail - 14 locations

The establishments on the Urban Bourbon Trail vary from historic hotel properties that once served Kentucky Whiskey to the likes of Al Capone and F. Scott Fitzgerald to cosmopolitan "scenes" where urban trend-setters are making retro drinks such as the Old-Fashioned and Manhattan in vogue again.

Five are in downtown hotels, four have been internationally recognized and six are serving up bourbon-inspired dining. All offer bourbon flights, special bourbon cocktails including the official drink of the Kentucky Derby -- the mint julep, and all have at least 50 different bourbon labels on the bar with trained staff that can explain the nuances and tasting notes in the varied offerings from Jim Beam Black to Woodford Reserve Sonoma-Cutrer Finish.
