originally, I was supposed to go last year as a Father's Day gift from my wife, but Covid put me out of commission for a good minute. The tour guide was a beast. Young dude, but he was kicking facts. It started with him taking us into a recreated speakeasy. Everything in there had different pieces of symbolism built into it. He talked about the suffrage and temperance movements and how they related to prohibition and ultimately women being able to vote.

We saw the still, well one of them and the building where the barrels are aged. The building is not climate controlled so that the varying temperatures can act on the barrels in different ways...all to make the finished product what it is. The final stop was...you guessed it...the tasting. My wife isn't a whiskey drinker (which is good because we were headed to Memphis, right after the tour and she definitely needed to start off driving) but I knocked off all my little shots...
