Frankfort, KY - There's more to distilleries in Kentucky than the famous Bourbon Trail around Bardstown and Frankfort.

Micro-distilleries that craft small batches of bourbon, malt whiskey, vodka, gin, moonshine and other spirits have sprung up recently in western Kentucky and Lexington. Like historic bourbon distilleries such as Jim Beam and Makers Mark, micro-distilleries offer free tours for visitors and free tastings for those over 21.
