Geno S (Tripadvisor)
I started planning this with Chuck from unfiltered KY bourbon tours last November. When we arrived, everything was as planned to perfection with flexibility where ever we desired it. Communications both ways was superb, and I recommend him and his team 100%.
Wayne S (Tripadvisor)
I went with a few of my oldest friends to celebrate my 60th - a milestone. We did two days of tours, one day with Chuck and one day with Brandon. Unfiltered set up the tours and took care of getting us to each distillery and lunch and safely back home. The drivers were fun and helped us celebrate. Both Chuck and Brandon were friendly and helpful. We had a great time; it was a great choice to use Unfiltered Kentucky Tours!
Rob L (Tripadvisor)
Great day spent on a private bourbon tour with 4 old friends. Chuck did a great job giving us the best bang for the buck. 3 uniquely different distilleries & a stop at Daniel Boone's grave overlooking Frankfort! Jesse our personal tour guide was the Greatest!!. She worked all the angles to fill the day.
About Unfiltered KY Tours
Your Preferred Tour Company
Unfiltered KY Tours was created to be a difference maker in our world of Kentucky tourism - so we do things a bit differently.
​
Every trip we take is specially-crafted around our guest's idea of the perfect Kentucky bourbon day. All of our employees are active in the bourbon industry, and you won't find anyone napping on the job here. We are enthusiastic, friendly students of our industry and love sharing our passion of bourbon with our guests! ​
Being in our third year of touring, we do not have the name recognition of some of the old tour companies and large transportation providers - so we have to work harder to get clients. And when given a chance, we work a lot harder from trip planning, to drop-off, and everything in between.
​​​
We hope you find us a good fit for your group. And thank you for your interest in our small business. And if we're not hosting you, we hope to catch you out on the trail!
Cheers, ​​​
​
- Chuck (UKT Owner/Operator)
