BBQ & Bourbon

[derivation]

Welcome to the board. I actually just got back from a trip that featured a day in bourbon country. I highly recommend visiting Heaven's Hill and Maker's Mark. Jim Beam can definitely be skipped if you're pressed for time, they let you sample the high end stuff, but there's nothing to see there.

Thanks for all the tips. We'll be doubling up on lunch and dinner so we can squeeze in Corky's and Rendezvous BBQ and I should have remembered the ducks at the Peabody and a Hot Browns at the Brown Hotel in Louisville. We've planned the trip for July and I'll post pictures when I get back.

Heaven Hill, Maker's Mark & Buffalo Trace... I'm glad we have a designated driver.

If you're gonna see Heaven Hill Distillery, make sure you try some of the Fighting Cock Bourbon. It's firewater but they make a pretty good BBQ sauce, and the bourbon itself is a good addition to homemade sauce.

And no, I'm not kidding about the name. It's really called Fighting Cock.
