Henry Clay was an important statesman and famous orator in early 19th-century American politics, a U.S. Senator, Speaker of the House, Secretary of State and three time Presidential candidate. In his home city of Lexington, "Harry of the West" was a respected lawyer, revered and leading gentleman farmer. Although most of the 600 acres of his "beloved Ashland" are now a residential neighborhood, about 20 acres are preserved as a National Historic Landmark. Ashland, The Henry Clay Estate includes an Italianate-style house built for Henry's son, James. (The house where Clay lived from 1809 until his death in 1852 was torn down in 1857; some of its materials were used in the new Ashland.) There's a great deal of family memorabilia on display, much of it relating to the "Great Compromiser" himself. Ashland is located at 120 Sycamore Road and offers tours on the hour, Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and open on Sundays April through November from 1 to 4. p.m. Closed January. Only open for groups, by appointment, in February. Admission charged. There's no charge to visit the formal English parterre-style garden, a favorite spot of local artists, or walk the lovely wooded grounds. (859) 266-8581

Bourbon Trail

This restored historic distillery in Woodford County, is a showplace of the distiller's art and Kentucky bourbon heritage. A small, picturesque distillery nestled along Glenn's Creek at the site where Elijah Pepper (one of the famous early Bluegrass distillers) set up his distillery in 1812, their tours give visitors a sense of what bourbon making was like in the 1800s. With its small-scale production, old-fashioned copper pot stills, longer fermenting and distilling time, and hand-bottling, Woodford Reserve bourbon is made much as Pepper's bourbon was in the 1800s. The tour, leisurely in pace and sprinkled with fascinating distilling history and terms, covers the process from sour mash starter to "farewell" (the residue of aroma left in an empty barrel). The tour begins and ends at the Visitors Center, where a long porch offers a scenic overlook of the whole operation. A small bus transports you from the Visitors Center to the distillery buildings The large gift shop includes a wide variety of Kentucky crafts. The Woodford Distillery is open to visitors from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays with tours on the hour beginning at 10 a.m. with the last tour at 3 p.m. Open seasonally on Sundays (March through December) with tours at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. These tours are $15. Special tours that require a reservation offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. "Corn to Cork" is offered at 2:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the National Landmark tour is offered at 2:30 on Wednesdays. Admission for these tours is $30. You can enjoy a gourmet lunch in the Glen's Creek Cafe from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and Sundays from noon until 4 p.m. Set amid horse farms, The Woodford Reserve Distillery is a scenic drive from Lexington via US 60 (Versailles Road). Shortly after passing the US 60/Ky. 1685 intersection, turn left onto Grassy Spring Road; when the road dead ends turn right onto McCracken Pike. Woodford Reserve is on the left. (859) 879-1812.

Although the Wild Turkey brand of bourbon wasn't introduced until 1952 (supposedly named because the hunting partners of then- company president Thomas McCarthy loved the bourbon he always brought along on their annual turkey shoot), the lineage of bourbon and bourbon making at this site at the Kentucky River near Lawrenceburg goes back to the mid 19th-century. The tour you take today reveals an intriguing combination of tradition and modern mass production. In the fermentation room, 70-year-old cypress tanks stand next to modern stainless steel ones. If you happen to run into Master Distiller Jimmy Russell in the warehouse and hear him talk about the time and personal effort that went into developing just the right mix of aging for the "Rare Breed" barrel proof bourbon -- "Jimmy's pride and joy," your guide explains -- you're reminded that many aspects of fine bourbon making will always be low tech. Your visit begins and ends at a visitor center and gift shop located in a cottage across the road from the distillery buildings. You can take home everything from a keychain to an amusing T-shirt to collector decanters featuring the Wild Turkey turkey. Tours are given Monday through Saturday on the hour starting at 9 a.m. The last tour of the day is at 4 p.m. Open seasonally on Sundays as well (March through December) with the first tour at 11 a.m. and the last tour at 3 p.m. Closed on major holidays. In the summer months, the tour might not include the fermentation room. The "Barrel to Bottle" tour is $11; free to those under 21 and to members of the military with ID. To get there from Lexington, take a scenic drive along US 60 West to Versailles, then US 62 West to the distillery near Lawrenceburg. The distillery is about 23 miles west of Lexington at 1417 Versailles Road. (502) 839-2182.

Chicken isn't the only Kentucky product that has resulted from a Colonel's secret recipe. At Buffalo Trace distillery, north of Frankfort, you'll see a statue of Albert Bacon Blanton. The son of Benjamin Blanton, who began making whiskey at this location along the Kentucky River in the late 1860s, Albert started working at the distillery in 1897 at age 16. Over the next 55 years, "Colonel Blanton," as he was called (reflecting his membership in the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels), guided Buffalo Trace through growth and modernization that made it one of America's leading distilleries. And he was one of few in the bourbon industry to bring 19th-century training and knowledge into modern times. As you enter Buffalo Trace you'll notice the stone Rock Hill Mansion where Albert Blanton lived. A scenic courtyard surrounds a picturesque log "Clubhouse" used for special events. The standard tour begins at the gift shop and includes a warehouse and a small bottling house where the distillery's popular "single-barrel" bourbons- Blanton's, Rock Hill Farms, Hancock's Reserve and Elmer T. Lee - are bottled and sealed by hand. Buffalo Trace introduced the single-barrel bourbon concept in 1984. As the name implies, this is a bottling of whiskey drawn from one carefully selected barrel, instead of being mingled with whiskey from other barrels. Buffalo Trace gives "Trace Tours" Monday through Saturday on the hour from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tours on Sundays noon to 3 p.m. Call (502) 223-7641 for information. Ask about the "Hard Hat Tour." For ages 12 and up, this tour includes an exciting insider's look at the entire distilling process. The "National Historic Landmark Tour" is offered Monday through Friday at 11:30 a.m. and focuses on the architecture and the building expansion that occurred from 1933 to 1953. All tours are complimentary. The distillery is located north of Frankfort on US 421, about 27 miles northwest of Lexington.
