So, Monday May 15th, Ray and I were drinking Makers Mark at 10:30 am in Loreto Kentucky. Gorgeous location in the middle of nowhere.
Wonderful tour. I loved the barrel cask room
Grand finale tasting was quite good
Fabulous facility with a lot of attention to detail. The amount of effort to make this product is amazing. So much is locally sourced and they keep it very environmentally friendly. This history is impressive and the marketing is enviable.
Oh yeah - Ray got to dip his own bottle. He's a Makers Mark ambassador for life. We really enjoyed the tour and this part of Kentucky. A big WOW!
