FOR THE ONES FLYING IN
Richard "FIG" Figueroa recommended: for the ones flying in:

(Your Choice --- Lexington or Louisville)

Lexington, KY airport.  This is a smaller airport than Louisville, 
about the same distance away, but, you will jump on the Blue Grass PKWY
and its a direct shot into Bardstown.  Less traffic and congestion.
Getting your rental car, is also so much easier.
