Well, Maker's Mark was not on her list
. I think we had 12 tours in 6 days... maybe 11. Not sure, I was "Driving Miss Daisy" all week. The cabin was great, Kentucky was a wonderful state to visit, and I got some great pulled pork and brisket.
Visited my Daughter at Univ of Dayton, OH. Tonight at Washington Court House, OH to see the in-laws (89 & 88). Home tomorrow, and back to work!
A barrel... Let's see; since I was not drinking I did learn a bit!!! About 53 gallons to start when filled and bung in place. Losses about 7-10% due to evaporation before bottling, so about 43 gallons. 5 fifths per gallon, so about 215 bottles of Makers Mark in your own label... Wifey is visably drooling (Not pretty). :biggrin:
Be Well!
Thanks for the welcome, all. I have to admit I though woodturning was going to be the cheap way into woodworking.
I enjoy it, though.
Wifey dragged me through 12 distillery tours this week (She's a chemist and likes Scotch and Bourbon).
Very nice! I hope you got to stop at Maker's Mark. I am a Maker's Mark Ambassador and have a barrel with my name on it that just matured, so I will be planning a trip out there to claim some of it. Also a Scotch fan, so I hope to visit some of the distilleries across the pond someday. Sláinte!
