Kentuck

We didn't make it to the deep south but we did find a good bbq place in Lexington, Kentucky... it looked like a tin shed, in fact it was a tin shed, but it was good.

RIP Daniel Boone

After driving through the bluegrass and rolling hills of Kentucky we thought "hmm what else would we do here?" Answer? Bourbon Whiskey! By law Bourbon has to be produced in the US and contain at least 51% corn along with either rye or wheat (other whiskeys can be any blend of corn, wheat and/or rye). Turns out that all of the Bourbon in the US, therefore the world, is produced in a small patch of Kentucky. We got in on the last free tour of the day of the Buffalo Trace Distillery. It was lead by a charming old southern gent who told us some good info but also told us a lot of jokes.

Here is the beautiful old buildings from the 1880s that they still use today.

and the tour guide giving Kate some info

It smelled liked whiskey in the aging room and made me ready for the free tasting after the tour.
