The Maker's Mark

       Our Bourbon Trail continued at Maker's Mark distillery in Loretta, KY, the distiller of the iconic red-wax covered Kentucky bourbon. In fact, at the distillery, it's hard to find anything not covered in wax — ball cap bills, shot glasses and even the bourbon-flavored cigar I bought had been dipped in the red wax. And, for the right price (the price of a bottle of MM), you can even dip your very own bottle. Lou (above) went for the slam dunk, and you know what they say, if you play with hot wax, you're gonna get burned. In take two, Lou went for the more conservative neck-deep dip and executed like a pro. It's never a bad day on the trail, the Bourbon Trail at least.
