Three Days On The Kentucky Bourbon Trail

[BGKYSmoker]

My wife and I and our friends from TN spent the past 3 days visiting bourbon distilleries on the KBT.

Boundary Oak
Heaven Hill
Willett
Makers Mark
Buffalo Trace
Angels Envy

I didnt get as many pics as i wanted.

They gave this patch to my wife for being a VET.

That would be quite interesting, thanks for sharing.

What a great trip! I'm thirsty, wish some of those bottles were available here.

 

[OldSmoke]

That looks like a super fun and tasty tour!

 

[chopsaw]

Nice . That's a great trip .

 

[SmokinEdge]

Wow, what an amazing trip. That would be both educational and fun. So which were your favorites, both in tour and taste?

 

[SmokinGame]

Great pics. Find any bottles to carry home?!?!

I keep saying I am going to make the tour. Sisters live within 30-45 miles for the heart of the KBT. A few years ago, a nephew and his lovely bride had their wedding reception at Buffalo Trace.

BGKYSmoker that is so cool. Someday I gotta do that. Might be a while being from MN with a 2 year old .

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Thanks

I did get a bottle of the KY Corn.

I been a MM Ambassador for years so i got the tour free. My wife being a VET got a big reduce price.

The closest one to me is Boundary Oak, like 10 mins down rd. All the others are 1.5-2.5 hour drives.

That's awesome Rick... Did they have taste testing at the end of the tour ?? Thinking I'd be on a three day drunk ...

That would be a fun trip

That’s a great trip. I hit 15+ distilleries during a 10-day conference while in town. I was a Maker’s Mark ambassador and my barrel was due when the conference was in session. Amazing timing. I got a VIP tour and tasting and got to dip my own bottles with custom labels.

I loved Angel’s Envy. Woodford was also excellent and was where I discovered double oak. Wow! I’d love to do the trail again.

I did my tour a few years ago and got 2 bottles.

I got a 3L oak barrel for my whiskey.
Fill with hot water and let it sit for 3 days before i put some spirit in it.

Great trip, It's on my bucket list.
