Bourbon and Mint Juleps

Next, it’s time to sip some bourbon. Did you know that 95% of the world’s bourbon is distilled in Kentucky? The perfect drink and Kentucky stable is the Mint Julep. It is a mixed alcoholic drink, or cocktail, consisting primarily of bourbon, sugar, water, crushed or shaved ice, and fresh mint. It’s perfect for a hot summer day or watching the famous Kentucky Derby. 

A fun thing to do is visit the Jim Beam American Stillhouse to see how the bourbon is distilled, aged, and perfected. Take a guided tour and then head to a tasting room. The Beam family has been around for seven generations. Learn more about their history and how their bourbon became #1 globally. You can also visit other distilleries throughout the state.
