True lovers of Kentucky know that the literal and figurative heart of this gracious southern state is the capital city of Frankfort, perfectly positioned on the shores of the Kentucky River between Louisville and Lexington. Frankfort embodies the essence of everything that makes Kentucky special from her natural charm and beauty to her world-renowned bourbon, all in one distinctly small and spirited package.

It all starts on Capital Avenue where the rotunda of the Capitol building rises above the city, a testament to classic architecture and big ideas. Inside the building’s legislative halls and chambers, some of the nation’s best and brightest minds are shaping and reflecting the nature of Kentucky. 

But let’s be honest, if we’re talking Kentucky … we’re talking bourbon. Declared by Congress in 1964 to be America’s Native Spirit, bourbon by definition is made in the United States. But really, everyone knows that means Kentucky – 95% of the world’s bourbon is made in this state, where there are more barrels of bourbon than people. And Frankfort’s iconic Buffalo Trace Distillery is the leader among the legendary spirit makers of Kentucky, staying true to the traditions of the craft while embracing change that results in improvement. Kind of like the city of Frankfort itself.

Truth is, you can’t really tell Frankfort’s story without telling Kentucky’s story. They are inextricably entwined. Frankfort is the best of Kentucky, the heart of Kentucky, the soul of Kentucky. Frankfort is capitol halls and bourbon balls, rolling hills and rushing rivers, southern hospitality and global connections. Frankfort is big decisions and small town charm, calloused hands and cutting-edge technology, historic buildings and civic sophistication. Frankfort is beauty, big ideas and bourbon. Frankfort is #KentuckyDistilled.
