Bourbon Country

Thought this sign was a good way to start off the pictures. Bar in Bardstown Kentucky.

At the Heaven Hills Distillery. That one in the box I think is about $1000. And those bottles with blue wax are older than I am.

Outside at the Heaven Hills Distillery. Those are the rack houses in the background covered with black mold.

Next stop was the Maker's Mark Distillery. Looked more like Santa's workshop if Santa had started moonshining.

Fermentation vats full of fresh yeast and corn mash.

I wasn't so serious when I asked out loud if I could put my arm in the vat. The tour guide was serious though. This vat was almost done and warm ... kind of taste like grape nuts, little chunky, kind of sour.

If you find some arm hairs in your bourbon about 8 years from now I apologize, but I'm not sorry.

Sean's idea of smiling for the camera.

If you are a Maker's Mark Ambassador then one of those casks might be yours. Just ignore Sean looking real creepy with the camera.

Walked through a rotten wood door from the rack house into this fake looking, commercialized tasting room, which sold every souvenir you could imagine.

Got all excited driving by this abandoned church with adjacent graveyard on our way back to Bardstown. Had to take some pictures. There were two kids playing basketball in their backyard just out of frame on the left. I don't think I'd be okay with playing near a graveyard everyday.

Really, I could shoot for the next Urban Outfitter catalog.

Taking some polaroids.

If you are not able to read the sign it says "Father Maloney's Boys Haven". I'll leave my comments at that.

Back in Louisville, KY.

Awesome lounge to hang out and sip bourbon.

This was on the same street as the Maker's Mark Lounge. Whole area looked like Vegas with the lights and oversized signs hanging off of every building.
