Everything unhealthy is everything Kentucky. Premium fudge, excellent whiskey, and all the fried chicken you could ever want. Get fat, get drunk, and go to bed. Wake up the next morning and lose money in a casino across the border in Indiana or at the Kentucky Derby in May.

The bourbon trail of discovery begins in the Frazier History Museum about the history of Louisville and its role in the history of bourbon before moving on to one of the many distilleries downtown. Evan Williams was the first licensed distillery in Kentucky before it even became a state. Note that not all distilleries are open all week. When they do, it’s best to book a tour in advance to avoid disappointment.
