Wife and I just got back from doing the Kentucky Bourbon trail and had a wonderful time doing so.
Great history, great presentation, and these folks are very proud of what they do.
I’d suggest any one who can do such.

This is a national emergency of the highest order. I must stock up now because there will surely be a rush on the the national drink of the USA. This is a terrible loss that will be mourned for years to come.
