One-third of the world’s bourbon comes from Louisville—the Urban Bourbon Trail includes 19 area bars and restaurants, all offering at least 50 labels of America’s only native spirit. Pick up your “passport” from the Louisville Visitors Center, or download the iPhone or Android app. Then get stamps at any 6 locales—you don’t have to drink, just make a purchase—and you’ll earn an official “Urban Bourbon Trailblazer” t-shirt and “citizenship certificate.”
