David worked most of the day, but we did get out in the afternoon to historic Georgetown. Georgetown is the birthplace of the American Bourbon. Bourbon is distinguished from whiskey by the two factors. First, it must be distilled from at least 51% corn. Second, it must be aged in virgin white oak barrels. We visited the only remaining distillery in town, Bourbon 30, and sampled their hand crafted, single barrel, bourbons (75% corn based) as well as their Rye whiskey (91% Rye). The Bourbons were very good but their Rye Whiskey was fantastic. We walked away with two bottles. Afterword we walked the tiny downtown area and had dinner at Local Feeds. A restaurant that locally sources all their ingredients. It was excellent.
