Gonna leave pretty early on Saturday morning and head to Lexington, round 8 or so. I want to go to buffalo trace and woodford, which are pretty close together. Gonna head in to Louisville that evening, spend the night and head back to Dallas on Sunday.
Eta. I'm don't plan on doing anything in Lexington, per se. It's just that both the distilleries I wanna visit are right by.
You are gonna be blowin' and goin' trying to get all of that done in three days while driving.
It takes me four hours to drive from Jonesburough to Lexington ... so I'm guessing easy six or seven hours from Knoxville to Lexington.
Buffalo Trace, I've been there, that's in Frankfort once you go through Lexington via the bypass and you're heading toward Lousiville ... that's doable maybe.
Woodford is in Versailles, it's a little more off the beaten path ... it's a cool tour we just did this past season. We got in special, I'm not sure but I think most tours there happen in the mornings, you may want to check that in advance. We started early that morning, we stayed in Lexington, we hit Woodford first then drove to Bardstown from there for Heaven Hill then drove back to Lexington that night. Seeing both places was an all day thing and we started in Lexington on a Friday.

Maps says it's only 2.5 hrs from Knoxville to Lexington. I'll call around and see how long tours are. If I can only do one, which would you recommend? I love everything from Buff Trace, but if they're not hospitable and won't give me any pappy, then I could be convinced otherwise.
