The Bourbon Trail?

Has anyone done it? Fun way to spend an afternoon? I think I already own stock in Jim Beam. Any input appreciated!



Thanks

The Bourbon Trail?


Based on their locations, I don%26#39;t see how you could see all of them in 2 days, much less one. You%26#39;ll probably need 3 days. Unless you drive like a maniac.



If you%26#39;re into seeing how bourbon is made, I highly recommend Woodford Reserve and Maker%26#39;s Mark. Beautiful locations and you actually see all of the operations. The others show you parts, but not all.



Cheers



The Bourbon Trail?


We took the Woodford tour and loved it. We saw everything including the packaging. An air-conditioned bus takes you just a short way down a hill and back up, but the other rooms on the tour are not air-conditioned, so be prepared. They do have a beautiful, cool welcome center, though.





My dad was a big bourbon drinker, but I never cared for it. When we entered the aging cellar where there is spillage from testing the barrels, my daughter, who is 19, said, ';This smells like Grandpa%26#39;s. I always thought that smell was his cologne.';
