Bourbon Tour in Bardstown, KY

Some will believe this a sacrilege, but here goes...

At Barton's, pick up a bottle of Bourbon Ball - chocolate whiskey.  Smooth aperitif but especially good on Breyers vanilla ice cream.

Hit buffalo trace and get this.  Best root beer float ever

We may end up going that way if I40 is not reopened by the time the Rally hits.

Thinking on it since we're scheduled for the BMWMOA rally from Wednesday through Sunday. Just have to square the work schedules to allow the extra days off to do the bourbon event. I'll have to see if I can get any "consideration" since I'm a card carrying Kentucky Colonel.

Sacrilege? Hold my beer...

I made ham glaze out of my last bottle of Blanton's...

Funny story... Well, maybe not so funny.  Years ago Ruth made the first ham glaze with bourbon.  Half way through the cook the oven door sprang open and slammed shut with a bang.  Apparently, the alcohol vapors ignited in the gas stove.  Scared the hell out of us!

Very good info  to have since I use  a gas stove as well.  Have to keep that tidbit in the back of my mind for future reference so I don't go all at some point!

Don't remember but will bet it was in the early part of the cook.  Could be a good idea to just crack the oven door a couple of time to vent the fumes; or, just stand back.

I'm not sure they are STILL selling this at the distillery store. But it is available in some retail outlets - like Total Wine. This is new, as John suggested, it was only available on site previously.

John - Nora Plaza has it in stock.

Thanks. I’ll check my stock.

I have been looking high and low for that near me but no luck!

Hopefully they all recover from the flooding.  https://www.wlky.com/article/buffalo-trace-distillery-frankfort-flooded-kentucky/64408817
