Rickhouse at Bardstown Bourbon Company in Bardstown, Kentucky
I mentioned in an earlier post that Kathy & I had recently visited Bardstown, Kentucky. We met friends Jim & Lisa there, as it is roughly equidistant for them and for us. Kathy & I arrived a day early, visiting Bardstown Bourbon Company and Heaven Hill Distillery before meeting up with Jim & Lisa that afternoon.

The following day, the four of us visited the Kentucky Cooperage (no photos permitted) to see how barrels are made (a fascinating process), then Limestone Branch Distillery and Maker’s Mark.

Oddly enough, I just acquired a new tripod made of old bourbon barrel staves. It’s not very stable, but it has a cup-holder, so there’s that.
The trip sounds like fun, especially meeting up with old friends, I love the smell of bourbon but I never acquired a taste for it. Besides, what’s better than Snapple?
What else is Kentucky know for? ME! Of course, born and bred in Paducah, Kentucky along with Diane Sawyer (Glasgo) and Alben Barkley, VP under Pres Truman.

That I gotta see! As long as it has a cup holder, who cares about stable? 😉

I dunno, Ken. I like bourbon a lot and have never acquired a taste for Snapple, so maybe we balance each other!
