US-127 towards Frankfort, Kentucky is best travelled in an open car with the wind teasing your hair, and a fine companion as a passenger. My Black Labrador, Madison, accompanied me!!

Sylvan hills, a leisurely pace, and historic towns pepper your trip on the way to Frankfort, Kentucky, home of Buffalo Trace Distillery. Travel during October through April and you can enjoy a full tour of the distillery and experience the process of turning corn into liquid amber. During the summer, skip the tour and march forcefully toward the wonderful tasting room on the property. You’ll be treated to a range of wonderful bourbons and a new triple-distilled Vodka called Rain.

The signature Buffalo Trace bourbon starts sharply, mellows immediately, and lingers for a fine smooth finish. You’ll smell the sweetness of molasses and brown sugar, with the huskiness of roasted caramel. A deeper breath offers slight smokiness from the oak aging. Sip lightly and you’ll reward taste buds with one of the best bourbons you’ll find anywhere along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Indulge today!
