Tales from the Whiskey Trail



Posted : Monday Apr 30, 2007 12:48:48 EDT

We spent a week this spring traveling the “American Whiskey Trail,” visiting seven of the 16 operating distilleries and historical sites that make up the trail.

Our mission? To squeeze every last drop of intel out of the master distillers and other experts we met along the way, to turn ourselves — and you — into connoisseurs of whiskey and bourbon.

In our journey through Kentucky and Tennessee, we learned the difference between whiskey and bourbon, found out the seven steps to bourbon tasting — and discovered some cool connections between the military and the distilleries we never knew existed.

Read on to turn yourself into a true whiskey expert:
