"The Bourbon Book"

[donna]

"The Bourbon Book" is published by Old Taylor Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky. It tells the story of Straight Bourbon Whiskey. It tells how it is made. It also has different recipes for foods and.beverages.

" At the end of the Civil war, most of the great early distilleries lay in ruins. Edmund H. Taylor, Jr. helped restore the most famous of them. In 1887, after two decades of experience and skill, he decided to produce a Bourbon fine enough to bear his own name. Colonel Taylor built his new distillery in the shape of a castle to assure the public that no expense or care would be spared in the making pf the finest Bourbon to come out of Kentucky. And Colonel Taylor's Bourbon has been made by that rule to this very day."

This week I'm in the great Commonwealth of Kentucky in Lexington for the funeral of my mother who passed into the next lfe at the young age of 94. A Kentucky Colonel, like her husband, she new a good bourbon and we would take one of the other tours. If you are in the area anybody reading this post would be well served to take an afternoon and a couple of tours of these wonderful distilleries. They take you into the storage buildings pull the cork from one of the oaken barrels and inhale deeply. Of course, the samples they give here are imho superior to those you get anywhere else.

I'll bet in some parts of Kentucky this is the other "Good Book".

Steel Cross My condolences on passing of your mother.

Were you born in Ky? Thanks for recommending the tours. They like the horse farm tours should be done when in Ky.
