Kentucky’s Bluegrass region is a land defined by rolling pastures, rich heritage, and an unrivaled legacy of bourbon craftsmanship. The Kentucky Bourbon Boys bring an immersive day-trip that ignites the senses — the Bullets, Barbecue, and Bourbon Premium Tour combines precision clay shooting, mouthwatering local barbecue, and world-renowned distillery visits into one seamless experience.
