Visiting the World's Number One Bourbon
Located in Clermont, KY, just a short drive south down I-65 from Louisville, the Jim Beam American Stillhouse offers one of the most comprehensive and historic tours on the trail. As the home of the world's best-selling bourbon, the campus is massive, featuring an immersive look at the entire bourbon-making process, from mashing and fermenting to barreling and bottling.
Strategic Route Planning
Because it's relatively close to Louisville (about a 30-minute drive from downtown), Jim Beam is an excellent "first stop" for groups heading south into Bourbon Country. Alternatively, it serves as a perfect "final stop" for groups heading back into the city for dinner at 4th Street Live or Nulu. Coordinating your transportation to align with your tour times is essential, as the Stillhouse operates on a strict schedule.
Transportation Logistics for Groups
When traveling with a group, coordinating multiple cars or relying on rideshares is a logistical nightmare. When you book our luxury SUVs or one of our shuttles, your entire group can enjoy Knob Creek, Booker's, and Basil Hayden tastings without anyone drawing the short straw to be the designated driver. Everyone gets to participate in the experience safely and comfortably.
What to Do While You Wait
The Jim Beam campus has a fantastic restaurant, The Kitchen Table, offering southern-inspired dishes that pair perfectly with their spirits. If your group finishes a tour early, our chauffeurs will patiently wait on standby while you enjoy a meal or browse the expansive gift shop for exclusive bottles that you can't find anywhere else.
