We used Chuck and UnfilteredKY for a birthday celebration with 4 couples. Chuck was so easy to work with and create a fun tour itinerary for 1 and half days. We hit so many fun “know” distilleries as well as a few “unknown” that Chuck had recommended. His recommendations were fabulous and we even made so quick changes to itinerary as the day went on.
Great communication before trip with plans and suggestions. You’re missing out if you don’t use this company for your bourbon tour! Our whole group had a blast!!!

When we decided to do a Bourbon tour I did a lot of research and picked this place due to the reviews. And they did not disappoint! Chuck was super responsive and so helpful in setting up our tour. Had some great suggestions, too! Kept us in the loop prior to the tour with details of our driver and when he would pick us up. Our driver, Lewis, was great!! He was so friendly and very informative about the area and the distilleries.

Brandon made this Kentucky trip a special memory for our three generational family of bourbon drinkers. He was knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Brandon (we nicknamed him Fireball) shared a wealth of knowledge about bourbon history and had us laughing over the myths and legends of Kentucky. Mix the knowledge and laughter with stories of his family and growing up in a state he truly loves made this trip a once in a lifetime event. Thanks Brandon. You’re a gem.
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!
UKT is locally owned and operated by a team of active bourbon professionals. Each of our guides are either active in the bourbon community, have made a career of it, or have worked at some of the same distilleries we visit. So, anyone on our team is as passionate about bourbon as anyone, and can provide first-hand knowledge on the industry.
Any of the hundreds of trips we’ve made have been specially-crafted around a group’s ideas for a perfect bourbon day. There are no pre-selected experiences, charter buses, or shared tours - just groups of friends and family experiencing their favorite bourbons right at the source.
Finally, we are small and dedicated team that puts experience over numbers. As a true small business, we are able to work closely with our guests while some of the bigger providers may leave you feeling lost in the shuffle.
So, if you made it this far. Thanks for your interest in our small business! And if we don’t host you this time around, we hope to see you out on the trail!
