When you come to Louisville, you'll get a friendly dose of good old Southern hospitality! While Louisville is best known for the Kentucky Derby, it's also a hip place for sampling bourbon whiskey, and with its recent influx of distilleries, it's also the perfect place to start or end your Kentucky Bourbon Trail adventure! Experience Louisville's rich bourbon culture yourself on a bourbon tasting tour, and save some time to swing by the Louisville Slugger Museum, where you'll have fun right off the bat! 

Louisville's love of bourbon is pervasive, not only in its deep bourbon history and growing collection of downtown distilleries, but also in its restaurants, bars, attractions, and even its music. Kentucky is home to the Bourbon Trail, a collection of nine legendary distilleries waiting to share their historic craft and timeless secrets with you, and Louisville is an official gateway to the trail. Get ready for a rich taste of Kentucky history with tours and tastings in some of the top distilleries, all including transportation in comfortable air-conditioned vehicles. Learn all about the histories and legacies of the distilleries, each of which proudly shares its own time-honored processes of distilling, aging, and perfecting bourbon. Many are still doing things like they did in the 1950s, from the old letterpress to the way they hand-rotate every barrel and hand-dip every bottle. Dating back to 1936, just three short years after the repeal of prohibition, one distillery welcomes you into its turn-of-the-century, family-owned and operated distillery. Or taste award-winning craft bourbon as you step back in time at an historic barrelhouse, which boasts a history of over 200 years.

Then swing by the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, which celebrates the extraordinary role Louisville Slugger baseball bats have played in the sport's past, present, and future. Take a guided tour through the factory where Louisville Slugger bats are crafted with the same pride that started in 1884. From the forest to the field, you'll follow the timber that's turned into hard-hitting history during the factory tour, and you can also visit the galleries filled with remarkable memorabilia and entertaining interactive exhibits. For some, the sport of baseball is larger than life. At the museum, this is actually true when you visit the steel Big Bat, the world's largest baseball bat, weighing in at 68,000 pounds and towering 120 feet into the sky, which is also an exact-scale replica of Babe Ruth's 34-inch Louisville Slugger bat. What’s the scoop on The Big Glove? Climb on, crawl through, and slide down this giant (17-ton) prehistoric ball glove, handcrafted from 450-million-year-old Kentucky limestone. See and touch thousands of signatures from players who signed contracts with Louisville Slugger, the same signatures that were burned into their bats. Get in the game at Bud's Batting Cage, then find out how fast you can throw in the simulated pitching and hitting experience! As if all that wasn't enough, the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory lets you hold bats that were used by the greatest players in baseball, including Mickey Mantle, Johnny Bench, David Ortiz, and Derek Jeter!
