  Need a reason to get up early over the weekend? Jump on a luxury tour bus and head out on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail with Mint Julep Experiences. A staple on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Mint Julep crossed the southern border and is here in Nashville to help you get your passport stamped at a variety of Tennessee distilleries. Offering tours five days a week, Mint Julep is your ticket for a day trip out of Nashville. The thirty or so distilleries making up the Tennessee Whiskey Trail are spread all across the state, from Memphis to the Tri-Cities. Mint Julep is currently concentrating their efforts to explore the Trail in Middle Tennessee, maximizing your day by hitting the road first thing in the morning. The “Legends” tour hits Tennessee whiskey giants Jack Daniels and George Dickel. The tour is about 8 hours and includes VIP treatment at the host distilleries including tastings of their high-end products, as well as lunch and an expert guide to provide a backdrop to the history and color of the Tennessee whiskey landscape. Pack a cooler or flask to enjoy the 90 minute down and back from the distilleries - Mint Julep will provide ice, cups and coolers as well. Or explore the best Barbecue, Beer and Bourbon tour in Nashville with Mint Julep on a guided culinary adventure. Visit Bearded Iris for a pint of local craft beer, Edley's for a paired TN whiskey and barbecue flight, and Nelson's Green Brier for a distillery tour and tasting. Choose lunch (11:45AM) or dinner (5:15PM) option. Tours depart from Omni Hotel. Whether you’re visiting for the first time and want to visit the grandfathers of Tennessee whiskey or you’re looking to expand your horizons into the craft scene, there’s no bad day on the Trail.
