Burley, Bourbon & Bluegrass Tour

 
 
 
I recently attended a conference in Lexington Kentucky. The horse capital of the world is definitely impressive. You will be taking a short version of the tour on these web pages.
 
Burley tobacco is grown in Kentucky. The whole stalk is cut by hand and then hung in the barn. The large barns are painted black so as to absorb the sun's heat needed for the air drying process.

Roll out the barrel. These tracks were used to move the filled barrels from the filling to storage. Bourbon has been bottled at the Woodford Reserve Distillery since 1812. It is old, slow, and small. No need for samples after experiencing the angel share in the warehouse. Bourbon is now my favorite beverage.
