@WoodfordReserve was the 10th Distillery that we visited on the @KentuckyBourbonTrail. The property is beautiful...as is the ride there, truly capturing the essence of Kentucky as we passed one horse farm after another (plus some goats along the way). . The property that is now home to Woodford Reserve has a long history. Distilling on the property began in 1780 and the current distillery dates back to 1838. Through the years it's been known as the Old Oscar Pepper Distillery and later the Labrot & Graham Distillery. @BrownForeman repurchased the property in 1993 and introduced Woodford Reserve in 1996. It's often been speculated that this was Brown-Forman's response to the rise of @MakersMark (Brown-Foreman also owns @JackDaniels and @OldForester). . #Follow @WhiskeyJourneys #WhiskeyJourneys #FollowMe . . 📷 @WhiskeyJourneys . . . . #WoodfordReserve #Distillery #KentuckyBourbonTrail #KBT #VersaillesKY #Kentucky #Bourbon #HorseRacing #Whiskey #Scotch #Whisky #RyeWhiskey #Rye #Instadram #Bourbongram #Whiskeygram #Lexington #JackDaniels #OldForester #MakersMark #PicOfTheDay #PhotoOfTheDay #Alcohol #Liquor #Booze #Instagram #Cheers . @WhiskeyJourneys @WoodfordReserve @KentuckyBourbonTrail @BrownForman @JackDaniels @OldForester @MakersMark (at Woodford Reserve)

We visited @BluegrassTavernLex while we were in Lexington. It was definitely one of the best bars that we’ve been to, with over 700 Bourbon selections and awesome bartenders! The staff is very knowledgeable about their (massive) selection, and unbelievably quick as well. . Had some Stitzel Weller juice in the form of an old Weller 12 (the raised glass above the label is what indicates that it was distilled at Stitzel Weller). Unfortunately, it was one of the best pours I've ever had (I'd grade it a 97). I say unfortunate because there's little of it left obviously, the distillery closed in 1992. Though all of Weller's products are very good, the 12 is the best in my opinion (personally, I probably like it even more than William Larue Weller from the BTAC). And this particular pour was even smoother than the usual 12...had a great nose too. As more people have learned of its similarities to Pappy and the Van Winkle mash bill, all of Weller's products have become difficult to find on the shelf. But if you're ever in Lexington, we highly recommend checking out @bluegrasstavernlex. . #Follow @WhiskeyJourneys #WhiskeyJourneys #FollowMe . . 📷 @WhiskeyJourneys . . . . #BluegrassTavern #BourbonBar #Lexington #Kentucky #StitzelWeller #Distillery #KYBoubonTrail #Weller12 #Dusty #Bourbon #Whiskey #Pappy #PappyVanWinkle #VanWinkle #BuffaloTrace #WhiskeyBar #KentuckyBourbonTrail #Sign #KentuckyBourbon #Bar #Tavern #Cocktail #Alcohol #Liquor #Booze #Cocktails #Cheers . @WhiskeyJourneys @BluegrassTavernLex @BuffaloTrace @BuffaloTraceDistillery @EagleRareLife @SazeracRye @PappyAndCo @JVanWinkle7 @KentuckyBourbonTrail (at Bluegrass Tavern)

Here’s an interesting concept that a friend (@FindYourTaste1) is currently starting. It explores various spirits and cultures within our society. The initiative is being crowdfunded, for more information please visit www.StillLifeTaste.com. . From the website: “The StillLife™ project is a platform that combines a book, a multimedia site and live tastings to bring the spirits of the world to life. This project will bring spirits from around the globe into perspective as I explore the deep cultural and social elements woven throughout societies. Food, Art, Music, Fashion, Dance, and Cigars (just to name a few) are all a part of the sensory ecosystem.” . #Follow @WhiskeyJourney #WhiskeyJourneys #FollowMe . . 📷 www.StillLifeTaste.com . . . . #StillLife #Bourbon #Whiskey #Scotch #Whisky #IrishWhiskey #Rye #RyeWhiskey #Tequila #Rum #Brandy #Gin #Vodka #Wine #Beer #Spirits #WhiskeyLife #BourbonLife #Instadram #Cigar #Cigars #Cocktails #Alcohol #Liquor #Booze #Life #Cheers (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)

Jim definitely had the advantage over Jack in this head-to-head matchup at a party we attended in the Finger Lakes. Both were brand new full bottles a few hours prior. . #Follow @WhiskeyJourney #WhiskeyJourneys #FollowMe . . 📷 @WhiskeyJourneys . . . . #JimBeam #JackDaniels #Hammondsport #NewYork #KeukaLake #FingerLakes #Bourbon #Whiskey #Scotch #Whisky #Rye #RyeWhiskey #IrishWhiskey #Tequila #WhiskeyLife #BourbonLife #Instawhiskey #Instabourbon #Instadram #Alcohol #BrownWater #Cocktail #Cocktails #Liquor #Booze #Instagram #Cheers . @JimBeamOfficial @JackDaniels_US @JimBeamDistillery @JimBeamUrbanStillhouse (at Hammondsport, New York)

An Old Fashioned with @LibertyPoleSpirits Bourbon at Keuka Lake.

Kicked off the @Whiskey_Rebellion_Festival with a Rebel Tea at @LibertyPoleSpirits. Also tried their limited Distillers Editions of Single Barrel Peated Bourbon. They have two options available, it’s a tough call to choose a favorite. Both are excellent, I ended up going with Barrel #2. Visit www.libertypolespirits.com for more information. .
