I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is a quintessential and celebrated part of life in the Bluegrass. Our state produces 95% of the world’s bourbon, and to say this is a big point of pride for the Bluegrass is an understatement. Here in Kentucky, we eat, sleep, breathe (and drink!) bourbon, and it’s not simply a spirit or business; it’s an inextricable part of our culture. The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is a Bluegrass icon; an experience each and every Kentuckian ought to have on their bucket list. And in terms of taking the Kentucky Bourbon Trail to the next level, Mint Julep Experiences organizes tours and trips for bourbon enthusiasts that are memorable, once-in-a-lifetime, bucket-list-worthy experiences.
Horses and bourbon -- these are the things for which Kentucky is world famous. And guess what? The two things are inextricably linked.
This creative cocktail is also the namesake of Mint Julep Tours, an adventure outfitter specializing in epic, bucket-list-worthy tours in Kentucky, including excursions along the acclaimed Bourbon Trail.
Mint Julep Experiences organizes public tours that follow a set itinerary, as well as customized private tours where groups can essentially choose their own (bourbon-filled) adventure.
Mint Julep's public tours stop at several iconic spots along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, offering exclusive distillery visits and tastings sure to make any bourbon aficionado's heart swoon.
Of course, the tours regularly visit Maker's Mark, Bluegrass bourbon royalty, offering guests an intimate experience of this Kentucky icon that's unrivaled.
