NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Distillers are launching a 25-stop whiskey tour across Tennessee.
The Tennessee Distillers Guild announced the new Tennessee Whiskey Trail on Monday.

Visitors can get a free passport booklet online or at some distilleries and collect stamps at each distillery.
Everyone who collects all 25 stamps will get a commemorative gift.
The trail's launch includes three statewide celebrations: on Monday at the Little Brick Theatre at the Factory in Franklin; Nov. 3-4 at the Tennessee Distillers Guild's annual Grains and Grits Festival in Townsend; and in May 2018 in Memphis.
The trail can be completed at a visitor's own pace. The trail's website will offer a 10-day itinerary for enthusiasts who want to finish it in one trip.
