Ohh. Thanks Sharon. Since I am in MO, Kentucky isn't such a far-fetched
idea for a short vacation, assuming I ever get one again. Maybe after grad
school...

Subject: historic distillary "museums"
Come to Kentucky, You could spend an entire vacation visiting Historic
"Whiskey/whisky" distillaries. But in KY, you can't taste! (bummer),
although most have a whiskey/whisky candy (of which I have heard various
opinions). Most of these are still working factories, I wonder what we could
learn from their tours.
Here are a couple of listings:
Buffalo Trace Distillery - Frankfort, KY (our capitol) -
www.buffalotrace.com
Labrot & Graham Distillery - Frankfort - historic site, restored limestone
buildings- uses pot still method - www.bf.com
Rebecca-Ruth Candy , Inc - Frankfort - "Orginators of Burbon Candy" -
founded 1919
Makers Mark - Loretto, KY - (btw - they spell it whisky) -
www.makersmark.com
Four Roses Distilling - Lawrenceburg, Kentucky - the building looks like a
spainish mission -http://w3.one.net/~jeffelle/whiskey/4roses.htm
Wild Turkey Burbon - about a 45 min drive from Lexington -
http://www.wildturkeybourbon.com/ -(web site is pretty slow loading)
Buffalo Trace - Franklin County, KY - www.buffalotrace.com -
Jim Beam - couldn't find any tour info - but I didn't like the site - your
on your own ! www.jimbeam.com
a site with some interesting info -
http://www.visitlex.com/quick/bourbon.html -
And last but not least -
http://www.maltadvocate.com/whiskyfest/whiskyfest.html - Whisky Fest -
Chicago, IL - April 17, 2002 - Wednesday, 6:30pm - 10:00pm - The Hyatt
Regency on Wacker Ave. - Price: $65 all inclusive
Just a side note - Crown Royal, on the rocks, in a cut crystal glass. If
it's cheap stuff, give it to me with PEPSI (and not the diet stuff)
Have a GREAT Whiskey/Whisky Day !
