Hi Friends!  Today we tour one of the most famous, or infamous, distilleries in the world, Buffalo Trace.

The Buffalo Trace Brands of bourbon are some of the most popular, and hard to get bourbons in the world.  These include iconic bourbons such as Blantons, Weller, and Pappy Van Winkle, bourbon enthusiasts love Buffalo Trace.  Although we have toured Buffalo Trace previously, today we are taking the Barrel Tour. This was one of the BEST distillery tours we have ever taken.  This tour follows a bourbon barrel from its arrival at Buffalo Trace from their cooperage through filling, aging, dumping and bottling. We were right there on the production line and seeing the real process and people that make their excellent bourbons.

So follow along with us to see how these bourbons are made.

Hi Friends!

Today we continue our tour of the Bardstown Kentucky Area with a stop at the 3 Boys Distillery.  It was honestly one of the best distillery experiences we’ve had. 

What made it so great? We love small and local, and this hit the spot.  3 Boys operation is located in a small barn just outside Frankfort Kentucky.  Everything they do is very small batch and every barrel can have a different mash bill (recipe).  You almost never see that.  They can do that since they are not one of the big boys, but a small craft distillery with excellent product.

This tour was a lot of fun, and the tasting was one of the best we’ve experienced.  Take a look at how we got to thieve our very own bottle of bourbon!

This hidden gem of a distillery makes a great stop if you are in the area of Buffalo Trace.

Live life fully in Phase 2!
