The Kentucky Bourbon Trail

Kevin and I took a weekend road trip to Kentucky last weekend. Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve, and Wild Turkey bourbon distillery tours were first on our list. The tours were very interesting and I learned the difference between bourbon and whiskey. Bourbon must be:
  • Made of a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn
  • Made in the USA
  • Contain no caramel coloring or additives
  • Must be aged in new, charred oak barrels
We also had a great time in Louisville checking out fourth street and finding great sushi. It felt good to be back in the South.
