a 5-star, West Virginian good morning
Stop 1
Versailles, KY
Kentucky: the self-proclaimed "horse capital of the world!"
4 Kentucky stallions
Woodford Reserve Distillery Tour
Things learned:
- We send all of our sloppy seconds to Canada and Scotland (white oak barrels)
- More reason to drink at work: it turns out all things that make the bourbon making process unique, were discovered by accident (burnt barrels, malted barley, and a small touch of urine in every bottle)
- Cattle have 4 times as many stomachs as horses
- Unsurprisingly, bourbon-flavored coffee tastes awesome.
just a casual stroll down to the distillery
Stop 2
Nashville, TN
Dinner @ Wildhorse Saloon
Fried pickles: validation that pretty much any food can be enhanced by being soaked in a vat of fat
Layla's Bluegrass Inn - awesome live bluegrass
Tootsie's Orchid Lounge - Cabo Wabo, Nashville-style
Nashville, home of the most structurally sound bars in the USA
(and it wasn't until 16 hours and 32 plays, that i realized the meaning of 'save a horse, ride a cowboy')
Women in the south love to dance, have impressive (almost stripper-like rhythm) and, best of all, seem to require no male involvement.
Final resting place for day 2: Goodlettsville, TN
