Greetings,

Heading to Kentucky. May visit a few distilleries, but really looking for several scenic rides in the Bardstown area. Any input appreciated.

Thanks,

Hwy 60 from Louisville to Frankfort
Nice ride bards town to makers mark. Patton museum Fort Knox
Corvette museum bowling green

 

31 south from Bardstown to Hodgenville, Abraham Lincoln birth place

 

Other than Makers Mark, which distilleries offer the most scenic rides on the way? We don't want to deal with Louisville traffic. Would like to do a couple days of scenic loops.

Thanks,

All distilleries are south of Lou

 

PS
The Wife and I took 2 Days and did the Tour, they now have a App for your phone Kentucky Bourbon Trail

 

Depending on how far rom Bardstown you want to head... HWY 62 West to Land Between the Lakes, the Buffalo Trace is GREAT its about a 50 mile stretch. ~200 miles from bardstown, you can take bluegrass parkway and get there by highway speeds although pretty much the whole length of the HWY 62 ride is worth the time. Bardstown is a neat little town.. enjoy

 

A friend of mine who has a farm in Eastern Kentucky took me for a ride on the backroads.
It was bad, don,t go.

 

Four Roses/Woodford Reserve. Any of the backroads around the Frankfort/Lexington areas are pretty. +1 on avoiding the Louisville traffic, but once you get 15-20 miles out of town, it ain't bad.
