Distillery wrap-up

Back from the distilleries... I think I appreciate bourbon a bit more. Not that I really knew about it before. But it's was nice to head to Maker's Mark first and get the full tour and explanation of the process. The bourbon there was quite smooth and sweet.

The other two places, Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve, were nice places too. There was a noticeable difference in the bite and spice of the Buffalo Trace bourbon due to the rye. They did let us taste a creme liquor which was much easier to gulp down. At Woodford, we went straight for the tasting. The 'bartender' was helpful in showing us how to taste the product. Adding an ice cube cooled down the bourbon and definitely smoothed out the taste as well.

Here are a few pictures from the three places.
