The Kentucky Bourbon Trail tells Bourbonblog.com that several of Kentucky’s signature Bourbon distilleries will be open on Sunday, July 4th so you can celebrate the birth of our nation with America’s official native spirit.
“The rich tradition of Kentucky Bourbon is intertwined with our nation’s storied past,” Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association tells BourbonBlog.com. “It’s fueled the economy of Kentucky and played a vital role in the culture, heritage and history of America.”
In fact, George Washington had the largest whiskey distillery in the 18th century, Gregory said.

I recently took a trip to Kentucky and toured Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve and Maker’s Mark. I couldn’t imagine a better vacation. I put a post together on my blog that shares the experience. You can find it on my Travel page on http://www.pickledpig.wordpress.com. Great blog and bourbon rules!
