This Louisville Bourbon Tour Was Named the Best in 2025
Louisville, Kentucky, just scored another major win on the bourbon map.
Rabbit Hole Distillery has been named “North America’s Leading Bourbon Distillery Tour 2025” by the World Travel Awards, and if you’ve ever stepped inside their NuLu location, you already know why.
Why Rabbit Hole Keeps Winning Awards
Rabbit Hole doesn’t just walk you through the bourbon-making process. It pulls you straight into the craftsmanship, the storytelling, and the sensory experiences that make Kentucky bourbon legendary.
What Makes the Distillery Tour Stand Out
Every bourbon begins with barrels that are both toasted and charred, a dual approach that deepens caramel, spice, and smoky notes. It is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, and it is one of the reasons Rabbit Hole has become a standout in a state famous for its distilleries.
Located in the NuLu neighborhood, they offer a variety of tours in their modern and sleek distillery.

Small-Batch Bourbon With Big Impact
Their small-batch philosophy also sets them apart. Rabbit Hole never harvests more than 15 barrels at a time, allowing their team to focus on character, quality, and consistency in every drop. It is bourbon with intention, and visitors can feel that the moment they walk in.
At Rabbit Hole, quality is paramount, which is why we embrace an extreme small batch process, never harvesting more than 15 barrels at a time.
