Chicago Bourbon Tour Limo | Distillery & Whiskey Bar Routes

By Royal Carriage Content Team4 min read

Chicago is a real bourbon and whiskey city — FEW Spirits in Evanston, Koval in Ravenswood, CH Distillery in the West Loop, plus a stack of legitimate whiskey bars (Delilah's, the Whistler, Billy Sunday, the Aviary). Royal Carriage Limo runs full-day bourbon tour itineraries with chauffeur, stops, and timing handled. You taste; we drive.

Sample 5-Stop Bourbon Tour Itinerary

Time Stop What's There
12:00 PM FEW Spirits, Evanston Bourbon, rye, gin distillery + tasting room
2:00 PM Koval Distillery, Ravenswood Whiskey + liqueur tastings
3:30 PM Lunch at Owen & Engine, Logan Square Whiskey-friendly British pub
5:00 PM Delilah's, Lincoln Park 800+ whiskey bottles, the dive bar of the bourbon world
7:00 PM Billy Sunday, Logan Square Cocktail-program whiskey list
8:30 PM Drop-off home

We customize routes — swap CH Distillery (West Loop) in for Koval, add Letherbee Distilling, or finish at the Whistler in Logan Square.

Why a Limo Tour Is the Right Move

  • Tasting at four+ distilleries means responsible transport is non-negotiable
  • Distilleries don't have great parking — Koval's lot is tiny; FEW is in downtown Evanston
  • Lunch and dinner stops without re-parking
  • Group photos at every stop
  • Climate control for the bottles you buy — we keep them in the back, not in a hot trunk
