If you have never heard of the Everly Brothers, do yourself a favor and pull them up on YouTube. They are one of the greatest musical acts to grace not only the Bluegrass State, but also the entire history of rock 'n roll.
The Bard Distillery may not be quite as old as some of its competitors, but their roots run deep and their bourbon is second to none.
