Kentucky Bourbon Trail - Part 2

Our first stop was the Wild Turkey Distillery.  This place is huge!  And it only  has 82 employees!  They loaded us on a bus and took us to the building where they actually make the mash.  If bourbon tastes like it smells it has to be pretty bad!
This is where they prepare the barrels.  Did you know that barrels can only be used once?  They then sell them to Ireland where they can use them several times.
Can you see how happy Dad is?  That's because it's free sample time!  He not only had his 2, but Moms 2 and my 2.  It was only 10 in the morning, but he stated he could get used to drinking in the morning!
He was going to try and climb on this but figured after drinking 6 small shots he might fall off!
