Kentucky Bourbon University
Recently I held a Bourbon University at the Kentucky Bourbon House. Along with my trusty assistant Colonel Rosemary we took our class through the various taste profiles of Kentucky Bourbon, Rye whiskey, Tennessee whiskey and white dog. We sampled several of the prominent Single Barrel and Small Batch Bourbons. We took care to sample old, rare and cask strength Bourbon.  Along the way I told stories about the origin of the brands we sampled along with anecdotes about the Kentucky Bourbon barons and master distillers I have known.

We stopped for lunch at the midway point. Colonel Rosemary served a delicious repast that included Bourbon cheese made in our kitchen and crackers for the appetizer; and a country ham sandwich and a bowl of homemade Kentucky Burgoo for the lunch, Kentucky fare at its very best.

After lunch we resumed the Kentucky Bourbon University. We made the famous Kentucky Bourbon cocktails that included the Mint Julep, Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Bourbon Sour and a drink of Colonel Rosemary’s concoction the Chapeze-tini-Bourbon, ginger ale, orange juice, orange bitters and Maraschino cherry juice.

Our guests reported that the Kentucky Bourbon University was the best time they have had while touring the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
