The American Whiskey Trail is the name of a promotional program supported by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States that promotes the distilled beverage industry in the U.S.[1] The Trail was first promoted to the public on September 28, 2004.[2]
Overview
[edit]The trail was created in 2004 by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.[3] It is not a linear route, but circles through various points of interest such as historic bars, museums, coopers, and still-makers, with whiskey distilleries being the main focus.[3]
Key historical sites along the trail
[edit]

Fraunces Tavern2
Allegany Museum3
Gadsby's Tavern4
Oliver Miller Homestead5
Oscar Getz Museum of Whiskey History6
West Overton Village7
Woodville PlantationThe American Whiskey Trail consists of various historical sites – some with operating distilleries – that are open to the public for tours. Sites along the American Whiskey Trail can be visited in any order or sequence desired, although the George Washington Distillery is promoted as the "gateway" to the trail and is a common starting point.[4][5]
As of 2024, the trail map includes eleven distilleries and seven historical sites.
Non-distillery historical sites include Fraunces Tavern Museum in Manhattan, New York,[6] Gadsby's Tavern Museum in Alexandria, Virginia,[6] the Oliver Miller Homestead in South Park, Pennsylvania,[6] the Oscar Getz Museum of Whiskey History in Bardstown, Kentucky,[6] the West Overton Village & Museums in Scottdale, Pennsylvania,[6] Woodville Plantation (John and Presley Neville House) in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania[6] and Allegany Museum in Cumberland, Maryland.[6]
Besides recognized historic sites, a number of operating whiskey distilleries are open to the public for tours and, in many cases, tastings. Most are located in close proximity to each other in Kentucky, although a few are located in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Utah, and West Virginia.
