Then we’ll begin the drive to Kentucky, and along the way our guide Pam will educate us about all the fine nuances of bourbons and bourbon tasting. She’ll fill us in about the bourbon distilleries we will be visiting over the 3 days, and the special unique treats we may have the opportunity to get that aren’t normally available in liquor stores.
