Between stud-fees, stable fees, trainer fees, and entry fees, race horse owners sink A LOT of money on each horse. What are they hoping to get for all their money?

And, what’s so special about the Kentucky Derby, anyway?

Herbie Reed, a retired horse trainer, tells us. (BTW, his son trained the 2022 Kentucky Derby winner, Rich Strike.)

Out here in bourbon country, the real magic isn’t just in the glass. It’s in the stories, the rolling hills, and the roads that connect one distillery to the next.

Wherever your Kentucky Bourbon Trail® journey takes you, we hope it’s filled with smooth pours, great company, and maybe a four-leaf clover or two.

From grain to barrel to glass, bourbon is full of stories.

We bring those stories to life—mile by mile.

The best stories in bourbon country don’t just happen inside the distillery. They happen on the road between them.

With High Proof Tours, the drive becomes part of the experience.
