Maker's Mark Distellery


Allan,
A couple days ago, will and I took a few shortcuts and happened to find a sign for the Maker's Mark Distillery, only 5 miles off our route! We had an excellent tour, getting to learn all about the fermentation process, seeing the bourbon made from moonshine, tasting the malt at different stages, and learning the long history of distilling (oldest in America -1855) Apparently, Kentucky Water is the best
Love, Paul

PS (from editor)- Paul's leader got attacked by a dog and is out of commission for a month or so (broken collarbone). It sounds like they're safely into the great plains (Missouri) now.
