This is the "Most Charming Small Town" in Kentucky

According to Thrillist, the most charming small town in Kentucky has a population of 13,567 and is a perfect destination for bourbon lovers. If you guessed Bardstown, you would be correct! Here's what Thrillist had to say about this charming small town in Kentucky:

The so-dubbed “Bourbon Capital of the World” is not pulling punches when it comes to the brown stuff—Bardstown is home to Four Roses, Willett, Maker’s Mark, Barton 1792, the Jim Beam American Stillhouse, and the Heaven Hill Bourbon Heritage Center, as well as the oldest bar in Kentucky, Talbott Tavern. Still, you can score hooch anywhere. What sets Bardstown apart is its old-timey southern hospitality, gorgeous landscapes, and an architecturally astounding downtown that's remained strollable and affable since 1780. And, you know, all that bourbon. —AK
