We were in Louisville for a few days late last week for a Bar convention, no not that kind of bar, a gathering of lawyers from across the state. The lawyers were so thick you couldn't slip and fall without landing on one. What would a Bar convention be without a visit to a bar or two. Marker's Mark has their own with an incredible selection of really good things to drink and really great food. You may go in for the Bourbon, but you will stay for the food.
We are off to Alaska on Tuesday, returning over the weekend with new pictures. (I am going to start a waiting list of people who want to be me, but believe me it is not all fun and glamour!)

Mrs. Squirrel LOVES Maker's Mark. In fact I have to hide the bottle when I go out on trips because said bottle will be empty when I return.
ReplyDeleteI do have a barrel in their barrel house right now with my name on it, hopefully I get a shot at a bottle from it when it is done.
Bourbon tends to evaporate rapidly; maybe that explains the empty bottles. Living here I am becoming a fan of the small batch, single barrel specials.

How did you get your name on a barrel? We live here and don't know how you do that... Obsession with hard liquor is understandable, Mrs. Sq is a lawyer after all, isn't she?
ReplyDeleteAlthough your travelling sounds marvelous I have to admit that I'm a homebody at heart. Since I also have this thing called a 'husband' and attachments that go by the names of 'children' I guess the travel thing becomes a whole lot more complicated!
ReplyDeleteSo... about you and your giant friends being in Peru... hmmmm.
"How did you get your name on a barrel?"
ReplyDeleteGo to Maker's Mark's website and signup to be an Ambassador. Once you do, they put about 20 names on a brass plaque and attached it to a barrel. You can even check it on online to see where in the barrel house it is.
Merrit - The URL you mentioned leads to an articel about young British children joining MENSA. Apparently it's the wrong URL; nothing about Peru (or giant rodents). Also, travel is possioble if you're willing to be creative. Send husband to IHOP and children to convent school, and you're suddenly off to St. Tropez!
ReplyDeleteSend husband to IHOP??? OMG that is just too funny, but true.
