Oct.8,2010 Bourbon and Music

On Friday we left Louisville and headed to Nashville. Along the way we were close to some of Kentucky’s finest distilleries so we stopped at Jim Beam’s.There are many distilleries in this part of Kentucky.Jim Beam’s white label is the #1 selling bourbon.We took the tour and sampled some of the bourbons afterwards.We had been here back in 02 and had samples Beam’s best uncut bourbon called Bookers.They weren’t sampling that this day so Sam ended up buying a bottle of the Bookers.This is pure sipping whiskey.

They have lots of warehouses where they store their whiskey in barrels many stories high.The outside of the buildings are black from the charcoal that is on the barrels.
