tour with multiple stops. I pulled up the info and we're doing Rabbit Hole, Buffalo Trace, and Bulleit.

That's a good way to do it. I don't know about rabbit hole, but BT will definitely have either ER, WSR, Blanton's, or EHT small batch unless you get there after 1 or 2pm. Bulleit won't have anything special. It's pretty modern and a nice juxtaposition to old school stuff like BT.

If you decide you want to go do some more tours or chase allocated bottles, heaven Hill in bardstown is about an hour away, but you'll need to be in line by 830 to get a bottle if it's something good like whh17, parkers heritage, EC18.

Four roses usually has several of their recipes in the 9-10 year range barrel strength. Their coxs creek location is close to bardstown. Their main gift shop is in Lawrenceburg which is close to Woodford reserve and wild turkey. Wild turkey is a very pretty overlook of the KY river. Woodford is probably the prettiest distillery I've been to. Neither of them are likely to have anything allocated.

If you think you will have had enough bourbon touring after your guided tour, you could just pop into michters and hang out at the bar around noon and see if they put something out. If you want more tours I would do makers, Woodford, and maybe heaven Hill. If you want to chase bottles do heaven Hill early with a swing through of four roses coxs creek and finished with the michters hang out strategy.
