That’s The Bourbon Babe enjoying a terrific Manhattan (made with Old Forester) at Rye on Market in Louisville. Tonight I’ll be doing my sipping at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival Gala in Bardstown, a black-tie affair where one can mingle with master distillers while sampling new products. Huge thanks to Four Roses, my host for the evening.

If you see me, please come up and say hello. And if you’re not attending, what question would you most like to ask a master distiller? I’ll try to get the answer.
