Ken, Dad, Ken's son Keith and I left this morning to take a tour of the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles Kentucky. I've been drinking this whiskey for about two years, really like the smoothness of it and since we were in the area I wanted to make a run down there. I also wanted to try and find some Wasmund's Single Malt Whiskey. I've read some reviews about this whiskey and since I can't find it out on the West Coast, wanted to get some out here. Ah but more on that later...
Woodford Reserve Distillery sits east of Louisville, KY (west of Lexington) in a town called Versailles.

Here is our tour group, a motley group eh?

Here are a couple more photo's from the tour. Speaking of which, if you get the chance, the tour is very informative and only costs $5.00. This place has a ton of history for all of you whiskey oficianados, here is more info about the place.


After the tour we were off to find my single malt whiskey, or to be more accurate, Wasmund's Single Malt Whiskey for me to buy. On our way back we needed to head in general direction of Louisville to find the retailers that were supposed to carry it, however after about 6 calls I was striking out. One last call and we would have to abandon our search. I called Top Hat Wine & Spirits in small suburb of Louisville called St. Matthews. Sam Woodcuff, the manager of the store and a very nice guy, answered the phone and my request...success! 4 bottles on hold for me. We picked them up and were on our way to the picnic, now I could see if he reviews were correct (once back home of course, I am a responsible drinker...besides I didn't want to spill any!).
