We did the Bourbon Trail trip last month. It was awesome. I would definitely go back. We went to:
Makers
Woodford
Jim Beam
Willett
Buffalo Trace
Four Roses
Wild Turkey
Beam and BT were probably my favorite tours. Only mistake is that we didn't do the BT hard hat tour. Need to do that one day. Wild Turkeys tour sucked.

It was great. Stayed at the Hyatt downtown Louisville. Went to the Makers Mark Lounge down 4th St. They have hundreds of bourbons to choose from.
The bar at the Hyatt had some PVW23. I was tempted but at $275 for an ounce, I passed.

My wife is preggers so she drove.
But they have bus services that you can hire. Mint Julep tours I think is the name. Or we could go OT baller style and get a limo.

Uhhhh wut...275 really? Tell me thats a typo
What about the other prices...that high?
Yea wick I thought about that situation. Problem is anyone who would wana go would want to drink. Then if there is one...how do we get there...rent a bus? Maybe catching cabs? No idea....

I think they have a bus service out of Louisville that would bring us around. Someone with connections to get us behind the scenes and get us the good stuff would be ideal...

I'm not kidding. PVW20 was $175.
A pour of Blantons went for $18.
Keep in mind this was a hotel bar so I'm sure the prices were jacked up just like any other hotel bar.

Can someone tell me about this? I've never heard of the brand. Got it from a co-worker, curious if anyone has had it how you take it.

I did a few distilleries a few years ago. I guess 3. Makers was by far my favorite tour, but definitely not my best tasting. They did the most in terms of presentation, but obviously that's not the deciding factor. I did enjoy the White Dog, however. It was delicious. Incredibly flavorful, but odd flavors. Almost got some chocolate notes out of it. I'd love to do it again at this point when I've tasted a little more. I bought a bottle, but it went pretty quickly.
Anyway, we did Makers, Buffalo Trace, and Four Roses. Buffalo Trace was my least favorite. I loved walking through BT and enjoying the aroma, but what they actually had available to taste was pretty piss poor.
Congratulations on the milestone, fellas. I check in on your thread every couple of days and see what's being consumed. I'm always jealous. I'd love to hunt out the good stuff like y'all do. My palate and budget (and my beer budget, oops) keep me pretty locked in to what I do. That being said, if you have a budget rye suggestion I'd take it. I do enjoy a good rye.

Bulleit is one of the best under $30. WT101 is really good too but harder to find and a few bucks more.
