See where the spirit leads you
Did you know that Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey are almost identical? Both are American-made distilled spirits and while Kentucky is most famous for bourbon, it can be distilled anywhere in the US, while Tennessee whiskey is exclusive to the state.
In Tennessee, you can visit any number of distilleries to find out how the acclaimed drink is created. There’s even a Tennessee Whiskey Trail with no fewer than 26 distilleries, including legendary and historic whiskey makers and also some newer micro-distilleries.
In Kentucky, a Bourbon Trail allows you to collect stamps on a special passport of some 18 distilleries. You can also get off the beaten track on a Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour.
Wherever you start in these two southern states, you’ll find the spirit to continue – and at Signature Travels we know exactly what highlights and attractions will suit your aspirations.
