Tomorrow would have been my dad's 56th birthday. I'm sure it will be a difficult day, so I've been thinking about what I want to do for it. Since I'm not in Indiana yet, I can't go visit his site, which I presume would be the most normal thing to do. So I've decided to take a route less traveled....
For those of you that knew my dad, he was a bourbon connoisseur of sorts. My dad took interest in bourbon many, many years ago. Maker's Mark was his favorite beyond favorites. We visited that distillery before I
even knew what being twenty-one meant. (He actually owns a barrel
there that's been aged to perfection & is ready for pick-up this
December, but I'll save that for another post.) Three years ago my parents came to visit me in Kentucky over Labor Day weekend & we toured the Woodford Reserve and the Four Roses Distillery as a 'birthday present.'
