There are 14 Distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.  That would be a lot of tasting!  We checked out two stops, Makers Mark (so smooth) and Heaven Hill (better than I anticipated).   Just like Tennessee sipping whisky, these folks all start with sour mash, ferment it, distill the beer, and age in charred oak.  It is amazing how different the final products taste.

Both distilleries gave samples of bourbon chocolates too.   They were wonderful.

My “have to” Louisville food

Moby Dick fried fish.  We stopped on our way home from bourbon tasting and I got my fix.  We checked out Bernhiem Forest too.  It is a beautiful green space.  Dark clouds were heading our way so we didn’t get far from the car.
