Kentucky Bourbon Trail: Stop #1

Kenucky's infamous bourbon trail is a great way to see the beautiful rolling countryside and experience six local bourbon distilleries. Each distillery offers unique experiences, scenery, and, of course, many unique bourbons. If you're unfamiliar with the bourbon trail. It's the name for the group of six local (but famous) bourbon distilleries in the area.

First stop: Woodford Reserve





Woodford Reserve offers a picturesque lodge surrounded by old barrel houses making it a perfectly rustic atmosphere.  Guests are treated to a tour covering the triple copper distillers, barrel house, bottling building, and a sample of the Woodford Reserve bourbon itself (paired with a choclate bourbon ball candy).  I highly recommend this stop of the bourbon trail due to its quality and uniqueness.  Plus, Woodford Reserve bourbon is about as good as it gets!

    I also think that the bourbons produced there are expensive. I would like to have a taste of that.

    I wonder how much they produce in terms of quantity, you know?

    I actually am planning a road trip down south and I hadn't even though about going through Kentucky..

    Bah! You're altering my future and you don't even know it. :)

    That one on the bottom looks like the one that Stephen Fry visited on Stephen Fry in America. In fact, I'm almost positive it's the same one. Owned by a very genial Kentuckian who loves his Bourbon.

    There are cheaper options out there, naturally, but Woodford Reserve is between $30 and $70-ish depending on the size of the bottle. It's one of the cheapest that I can actually enjoy drinking on the rocks, though.

    How long is the bourbon trail, I've gone wine tasting where there are 20 wineries in 10 miles, fun time but by the 3-4 winery nobody really cares what they are drinking anymore.

    Must say, I love so-co and lemonade, but here in Scotland the whiskey brewing is second to none :)
