To finish off the first National Bourbon Heritage Month (September 2007) I traveled to the Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky distillery to meet the people and see the operation behind one of my favorite bourbons. Maker's Mark is a hand crafted bourbon distilled in Loretto, Kentucky that portrays the sweet, non-bitter flavor Bill Samuels Sr. was looking for when he reinvented modern bourbon in the 1950's. During my stay I was able to speak with Maker's Mark President, Bill Samuels Jr., and Master Distiller, David Pickerell, both gentlemen are a wealth of bourbon knowledge, stories and history and a true pleasure to have a conversation with. This image gallery is filled with the picturesque scenes of the distillery along with all the details of creating such a distinguished distilled spirit.
