Back to the Bourbon Trail

If anyone remembers when we went to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail last year we weren't able to finish it. So it gave us a good reason to go again!! We knew we would go in the fall like last year because these places give you that comfy feel and look so pretty with the leaves changing colors. This past Saturday we bundled up and headed out on our adventure toward Lousiville, Ky. We were pretty pumped because we loved it last year. There are 8 distillery's and we finished the last 4 this time. It takes around 1-1 1/2 hours at each. We had a great time and didn't get home until late that night. If you want to check out the website to find out more it is: http://www.kybourbontrail.com/

Scroll down to follow us on our trail:)


The first stop Buffalo Trace. Inside snapping a shot next to one of their barrells. No bourbon in this one....just empty.

Outside grabbing the Buffalo by the horns.
Inside the storage building. Now these are full and you could defenitely smell it.

A look at the storage building from outside. I love the look of them.

Second stop Four Roses. This was probably our least favorite but it was still very pretty.
During our tour we went inside to see where all the action takes place. The making! Pretty cool to learn about.
Third stop Wild Turkey.

Just driving along and seen this bridge. I had to take a picture!

Last stop Woodford Reserve. This was our favorite stop.

Which chair should I sit in?!

Looking out at the grounds.

Looks like some barrells are headin out.


Another picture while driving. They had so many horse stables it was insane. Most of them were nicer than a lot of homes and all were wrapped with black fences. I think this where all the big shot horses stay. Lucky horses!
And to top it off with my favorite picture. I love this one! There was this amazing waterfall at one of the distillery's.

Hope you liked looking at all the pics! I highly recommend the bourbon trail to anyone. It is totally free to go on the tours and look around. You can learn a lot about the history and the making too. I am usually not into much history but this is pretty interesting. We didn't know what to think last year before we went and we ended up LOVING it.
Hope everyone is staying warm!! I know I am...staying inside today:)
