A quick drive up th I-65 to Clermont to visit the Jim Beam bourbon distillery. For those of you that don't know this was one of the products that Michael sold whilst working for Maxxium. It does strick us as odd that they make Jim Beam and other bourbon in this area and it is a dry county !!

On to Maker's Mark distillery, a very pleasant 35 mile drive. They have a full distillery tour where as Jim Beam at this moment in time only have a short film and tasting. We had a very comprehensive tour right through from distillation to bottling and of course a tasting !
