This distillery tour ranks a very close second to Jim Beam. While this tour leaves out many aspects of the bourbon making process, there is something about the facility layout and overall feel that brings back good memories. Your tour quality is definitely based on luck and whether or not you get a good guide, but if you do, you're in for a treat.

Also, if you're in town, try to run in the 5k race that takes place every year on the grounds. It's in my top 5 favorite 5ks.
