Kentucky Bourbon Trail

Heading east on I-64 we passed through Louisville without stopping. We were thirsty. Kentucky is known for it's bourbon whiskey and there are many distilleries offering tours and samplings, loosely connected by the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. You could spend weeks touring them all but we hit a few notables, including Woodford Reserve, Wilderness Trail, Maker's Mark and the amazing Kentucky Cooperage, one of the worlds largest makers of fine barrels. I must admit my palate is not sophisticated and I have a hard time discerning differences between them all. But they say practice makes perfect. I always enjoy a good tour and I received free or reduced admission with my veteran's discount.
