today we started the adventure around 10 am...that's about the time we were up and ready to go out..started the day at barfton's distillery and of course we took the tour..must informative..heard about how much the barns were worth and with them full how much more...and can you believe that the federal taxes them on the full warehouses and also when they bottle they are taxed an each andevery bottle...to the tune of around 2 1/2 million a day yep i said day...wonder why the government is in the red...no need as they tax all the distilleries here in kentucky i f they invested the tax money right we should be in the red beig time...wonder who runs the governemnt....we could buy a full barrrel and hv=ave it bottle with our own label for 5,000 a barrel...now lar thinks we ought to do this ahahahhaah...wishful thinking....
then it was time for lunch back to the campground for a quick lunch then the walking tour of bardstown..
the have a map of all the very old houses and their history here in bardstown ..the pamphlet tells a wqee bit about each house on the map...it took us all afternoon to make the tour as there were a couple of museum included and of course we had to go in and see what there was to see....it was a private collection of one of the master bourbon makers...lots of empty bottles and displays...
then roy has been wanting a local beer so back to the talbot tavern for a "bourbon barrel ale" i even had one and i must say it was very good...one i could drink more of but only one was enough for today...very light and had a cirtus taste best beer i've had in a long while...
then it was time to put lar and roy in shackles for a wee bit of the afternoon..
back to the campground and deciding what to do tomorrow before we part ways...
