The B-Line® Bourbon Tour

Whether you walk or drive across one of the many bridges or fly into the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), when you enter Northern Kentucky, you enter Bourbon Country. We are an Official Gateway® to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®, home to some of the Best Bourbon Bars in America according to The Bourbon Review, and were also honored by The Bourbon Review to be named one of the the Best Bourbon Weekend Trips.

For bourbon to be bourbon, it must be made in the United States and 95% of bourbon is made in Kentucky. Some of the best bourbon is made right here in Northern Kentucky and in Cincinnati.

Here are the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® distilleries in Northern Kentucky:

All these bourbon distilleries are part of The B-Line®, Northern Kentucky's bourbon experience. In addition to the distilleries, The B-Line includes 10 restaurants, all offering bourbon-infused cooking, and 10 bourbon bars, all of which have to keep at least 100 different bourbons on the shelves for you to taste. Get your B-Line Passport below, which includes special offers and discounts for select businesses, and check in at 2 of the distilleries, 2 restaurants, and 2 bourbon bars and The B-Line will send you a free gift.
