I'm going end of March for my bachelor party. We're looking at AirBNB's in downtown Louisville and planning to take a bus out to Makers Mark. I'm an ambassador as well and hoping my barrell is ready in time for our trip.

Downtown Louisville if you're going to be there several days. Bardstown if you're just going to the MM trip. There are clusters of distilleries around both cities. Bardstown is of course more rural. Lots to do in both places, but Bardstown isn't going to keep you entertained for a week like Louisville will.

We went in October (for the LSU game). We stayed in downtown Louisville at the Omni Hotel. Great hotel and great location. Also, the hotel has a great speakeasy.
Maker's Mark was about an hour away. Also went to Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve and Willett over 2 days. Loved Willett the best, but the others were great as well.

Bumping this, flying into Louisville and looking to stay downtown. Did anyone use one of the shuttle services to go to/from the distilleries?
