NEW Bourbon Social™: Traditions & Trailblazers...A Saturday Where Bourbon’s Past Meets Its Future
Buffalo Trace Distillery • Frazier History Museum • Dark Arts Whiskey House • Jeptha Creed Distillery
Every bourbon lover eventually asks the same question: what makes this spirit what it is? Is it the centuries of tradition, or the people still pushing it somewhere new? On the new Bourbon Social™: Traditions & Trailblazers tour from Pegasus Tours, you don’t have to pick one. You get both in a single Saturday.
The Set-Up
Every Saturday, the tour leaves from The Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville. You don’t need to plan anything, rent a car or draw straws for a designated driver. You show up, climb aboard, and your Pegasus host handles the route, the timing and the stories along the way. Distillery tours and tastings, plus a Southern-cooked lunch, are part of the day.
Frazier History Museum
The day starts with some context at the Frazier History Museum, the official starting point of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®. Before you taste anything, you can see how bourbon got here. There’s a replica of a late-1700s copper still, a genuine whiskey thief from around the 1930s, and a copy of the 1964 Congressional resolution that named bourbon a “distinctive product of the United States.” The touch-screen quiz stations are built into whiskey barrels, which is a fun touch.
Buffalo Trace Distillery
Buffalo Trace Distillery, a family-owned operation that has kept going through floods, fires, tornadoes and Prohibition. This is the “traditions” half of the day, with a tasting. The tasting is a curated flight of core or experimental products, so what they pour may vary from visit to visit.
The Trailblazers
Then the tour heads to two of the newer names in Kentucky whiskey.
Dark Arts Whiskey House treats a visit like a ritual. Guides lead you through blending, finishing and a modern take on the craft, and you may get the chance to taste straight from the barrel.
Jeptha Creed Distillery is a family-owned “ground to glass” operation. They grow, ferment, distill and bottle everything on site, so you get to see the full journey from grain to bottle.
Lunch on Whiskey Row
Lunch is handled for you at Doc Crow’s Social on Louisville’s historic Whiskey Row. The food is Southern-inspired, with fried chicken among the favorites. Pegasus reserves and pre-pays the meal, so you walk in and it’s on its way.
Who This Tour Is For
This tour suits anyone who likes to see the whole story, not just one chapter of it. It works whether you’re solo, bringing a friend or traveling with a group. You don’t need to know bourbon to enjoy it, since your host will fill you in as you go. The tour is for guests 21 and over.
Distillery lineups can change based on availability, and Bourbon Socials™ are set itineraries. If you’d rather design your own day, Pegasus also offers private custom tours.
