Now... about that earlier comment on the "unplanned attraction"...

Its time for a CONTEST!

While on the trail, we happened to notice an event going on that is wholly unrelated to bourbon... but thought it would be fun.. so we bought tickets and went.. HAD A BLAST! Be the first to guess what event we attended.. win a SFR!...

let the guessing begin! :)

What an awesome sounding trip! I have friends here in Chicagoland who do a self-guided beer tour of Michigan every few months.

Anyway, was the event "The Eye of Napoleon"?

That sounds like something I need to do asap.

Question, what do you plan on mixing with that BT Bourbon Cream Liqueur?...or have you thought that far ahead? I saw that at the store but couldn't imagine what I would do with it, so I left it there.

I've been to motox before, shit is loud! Although what I went to was racing, that gets boring really fast. How many circles can they go in before you've pretty much seen it all?


I would much rather see the freestyle, the jumps, tricks, etc.

Nuclear Cowboyz wasnt quite what I expected..

Its a blend of freestyle.. (with a couple of trials riders thrown in there).. with Shaolin Monks doing a 2 hour martial arts demonstration.. and a handful of dancing girls shaking their money makers for the duration of the event... it was honestly a strange presentation (IMO).. almost like something you would see on a Japanese gameshow.. way over the top announcing.. and all kinds of just odd things thrown in that didnt quite "fit"...

But.. it was still a very cool show.. some of the stunts these guys do are unbelievable... they certainly kept the crowd on the edge of their seats the entire time..

They dont like anything with a flame anywhere near the distilleries... theyre a little sensitive to fire with all that alcohol around :)

a couple of them go so far as to actually warehouse their barrels away from the distilleries..

Town Branch basically said the City of Lexington wont allow them to warehouse their stuff inside the limits.. they can distill it there.. but once it hits the barrel.. they put it on a truck and get it the hell out of there...

They acted like they were seriously worried about burning downtown lexington to the ground one day lol...
