Expanding My Whiskey Horizons
Whiskey comes in many forms (Tennessee, Bourbon, Scotch, Irish, etc.) and comes from many places. I am an enjoyer of whiskey, but it was not until glancing at the side of a Maker's Mark bottle that I considered visiting a whiskey distillery. On the side of any Maker's Mark bottle is an invitation to visit their distillery, which is also a National Historic Landmark, in Kentucky. Although a few years elapsed between the time I saw the invitation displayed on the side of the Maker's Mark bottle and when I actually visited the distillery, I finally made the visit as part of a side trip to California from Florida in 2010.Maker's Mark Bourbon
