I am not a Bourbon drinker but had to “do the” Kentucky Burbon Trail recently. I visited three distilleries and stopped by Churchill Downs on the way home. I was in Kentucky after all.
Taking the tours, I was able to get interesting photos of the mash vats and rickhouses where they age the bourbon. One stop was at the stills. This is Woodford Reserve’s area where they process the mash into a clear liquid by running it through the stills three times. It is then put in a barrel where it will sit in the rickhouse for ten years on average.
More photos to follow.
