Yesterday we went to Loretto, KY (jelly) to visit the Maker's Mark distillery. I really didn't want to go, to be honest. That is not the kind of thing that interests me in the slightest, but my dear husband and his brother are sort of junkies with that sort of thing. So, we went. The whole family. It took two vans...
Going into the curing house...
Historical markerI must admit that I had a great time. I didn't participate in the tasting, as I couldn't justify doing the two shots while 8-1/2 months pregnant (though I really wanted to :-)). So, here are some pictures!

Do these two look alike or what?!?A video of how completely disgusting the process looks... this is the yeast doing its job and getting air into and out of the liquid. It was really gross to look at!

i would have had to at least taste... maybe not a whole shot, but a drop wouldn't hurt, right?
