Lex on the Rocks June 6th

Lexington Visitors Center

Lex on the Rocks: Discover the City, One Pour at a Time

Experience the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® without ever leaving the city. Lex on the Rocks is an 8–9 hour guided tour in the heart of Lexington that blends bourbon, food, history, and laughter into an unforgettable day.

While traditional tours take you into Kentucky’s rolling countryside to explore iconic heritage distilleries, Lexington offers a different side of the trail — one that’s urban, innovative, and full of variety. Here, you’ll spend less time on the road and more time experiencing bourbon in new ways: from hands-on mixology to sensory tastings, experimental finishes, and historic landmarks. Depending on availability, you’ll enjoy four of six premium stops, along with a locally sourced Lexington dining experience for lunch.

 

  • Fresh Bourbon Distillery – an upscale sensory journey under crystal chandeliers where you’ll craft your own customized Old Fashioned.

  • Bespoken Spirits – where innovation meets tradition through secondary finishing, cocktail classes, and groundbreaking whiskey science.

  • Dark Arts Whiskey House – an alchemical tasting that blends sensory exploration, storytelling, and personal reflection.

  • James E. Pepper Distilling Company – a restored National Historic Landmark that showcases one of Kentucky’s most iconic bourbon legacies.

  • RD1 Spirits – taste experimental wood finishes, drawn straight from the barrel in RD1’s research and development program, and see how Lexington’s newest entertainment district is shaping bourbon’s future.
  • Barrel House Distilling Co.- enjoy one of several experiential offerings and taste products of a diverse range of spirits, including whiskey, rum, vodka and moonshine.

Along the way, you’ll also see different sides of Lexington — from the historic Distillery District to the energy of downtown — as part of your bourbon journey. Lunch is included, and snacks and water are provided throughout the day (because it’s important to hydrate!).

What makes this tour truly special is the experience of your guides. With a passion for Lexington’s history, a love of Kentucky bourbon, and a flair for storytelling (with plenty of laughs), we bring the city and its spirits to life in a way you won’t find anywhere else.

Raise your glass to Lexington. With Lex on the Rocks, you’ll discover the city, one pour at a time.
