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.
After working for other bourbon tour companies, I found that a lot of bourbon tourists are thrown into high-volume experiences that weren't really made for them. So, we decided to focus on small curated tours centered around a guest's favorite brands and their idea of a perfect Kentucky day.
I also heard of about folks having anxiety spending the day with strangers on large tour buses. So, I wanted to offer private tours that are close in price to some of those big-box tour companies for added peace and privacy.
More than anything, I want to offer a tour experience that give guests the same kind of hospitality as they'll encounter on the bourbon trail, without breaking the bank.
​
Thanks for giving our small business a chance! We look forward to sharing the unfiltered side of Kentucky with you!
