May 7 - Louisville, Kentucky

Louisville, where they are passionate about College Basketball and Horses.
First thing Tuesday we headed to Bardstown. On the way we stopped and toured Jim Beam Distillery, stopped by Four Roses before we ended our Bourbon Trail day at Heaven Hill. Jim Beam is good, Heaven Hill and Maker's Mark tour both very good tours.

Barrel houses hold 1000 of barrels. Aging process 4 to 23 years was the shortest and the longest I heard.
