Can you ever have enough bourbon? Not as far as I am concerned. Therefore after a trip to Glendalough, we are heading straight back to Kentucky. This time to take a tour of Maker’s Mark Distillery - virtually.
When I say a tour, I mean a tour. Today the lovely Matty will guide us through the ins and outs of the Maker’s Mark Distillery in Loretto Kentucky. Discover why Maker’s Mark is called so, what’s in its mash bill, why the bottles have their distinctive look and more...
Then we’ll head over to the bar to make one of Maker’s Mark's most popular cocktails and even get yourself a t-shirt from the Lush Life cocktail collection.
After the episode make sure to check out alushlifemanual.com where you’ll find photos of all the places you are about to visit.
