I found a very cool place a couple of hours from home. We're going to explore the Bourbon and Bacon Trails for a few days in January. Looking forward to being "incarcerated".
I’ll bake a cake just in case.:cool:
As long it has bourbon and chocolate in it--maybe bacon. Who needs anything else baked in? hehehe
We found the tavern next door: Talbott Tavern :: Home
and that looks pretty good. They have a special bourbon flight--5 shots for $26.
Barton has free tour/tasting, others charge but Woodford is on the way from Lexington. Maker's is the best tour/tasting I've ever done but there are so many! Beam is right there, too. I'm on the hunt for the closest bacon/Ky ham resources.
Mig, I think you should consider bringing the OH some day and pulling out all the stops. Maybe even a trip to Mammoth Cave!
:cool: So you want me to go into a cave. I thought you liked tree houses.;)
Well, it IS a mammoth one!Quote:

That's definitely a MUCH higher class hotel! Trust the Swedes to make jail posh!
Now that’s a captivating hotel.Quote:

M7 when you say bourbon/bacon trails can I assume that‘s similar to Napa /Sonoma wine country and you’ll be visiting distilleries by day and enjoying bourbon laced dishes at night - sounds like you’ll be in for high times, no wonder you‘re going to “jail” (I know I’ll get my hat) :cool:Quote:

Holy Pig, Baconator! I can't wait to try it! We'll do one on the way, then one in Bardstown. Settle in to jail and maybe try a flight at the tavern next door. Wander around town next day, see Civil War Museum, tour Gethsemane Monastery nearby, check out one more distillery, then walk to dinner here:

I'm guessing we'll stop at a final distillery on the way (undecided).
Looking forward to breakfast @ Mammy's (Kentucky HAM!!)
Have a jacuzzi each night before bed so I can hopefully sleep thru any ghostie visits.
I plan to take a few homemade candied bacon/maple/bourbon marshmallows to share w/hosts. Yes, they are a bit on the weird side...
Theme of the trip is to enjoy it but not overindulge in any aspect (at that includes bacon)...
Made our escape but the innkeeper insisted in saying goodbye to us! Jailer's Inn--highly recommend a few nts here. Upstairs dungeon room is quirky w/massive hand-hewn beams--used to be all 6 surfaces and no window. Cons were chained to giant iron rings on the floor in total darkness. Must have been delightful! Suggest not so off-season--many things closed except taverns and distilleries.
Easy town to explore. Started N KY and drove close to Lex, detouring to Woodford Reserve for great tour and place (it's small!), then on to BTown. In season, you can see/do plenty but retail, etc shutters @5pm. 5 distilleries in BTown; plenty more not far. Maker's Mark was also outstanding tour and much better bourbon--do not miss. You can dip your own red wax. MM 46 is outrageously delicious and mellow. MM doesn't use rye; so far, our fave. Never had any bacon <waaah>because KY Ham s THE thing here; not a fave but neither were the few restaurants that were open. Overpriced and greasy--better to drink and eat on the way out of town.
Museum was closed, too. Don't miss counting the Bathtub Mary's on the road to MM. bathtub mary's - Bing Images Supposedly the record counted is 20 but we only found 8. Not good to search while driving, BTW--so I let navigator do the job.
Drove back home a very different way (not MY choosing...) but so enjoyed the short vacation. Suggest you route thru Lousville at some point and check out some new Bourbon Trail options. You could easily take 4 nts and not see enough...Bye, Y'all!
Sounds like you earned ‘good time’ credits.
BTW, I’ve seen a few bathtub Madonnas in Louisiana too.
But I have to ask, bacon and bourbon, a match made in heaven?:cool:

I wish they'd show the bourbon cocktail w/candied bacon strip (thick, applewood smoked, of course)
This is ok, but needs a full strip of candied evil:

You can also candy the bacon, then dip the ends in dark chocolate--serve w/Maker's Mark 46 (neat) for a killer sugar high!
Boss and I still yearn for bacon-wrapped warthog tenderloin like we had in South Africa. Maybe we can find it on the next trip?
Oh yeah, love my Cheddar, Bacon Biscuits! :cool:
