I think it is a good idea in theory as it encourages .ore responsible drinking than the binge drinking i came across at uni. However negative downside is people then start drinking even younger. I remember a school trip to Pompeii when I was 13 or 14 and the boys were able to buy Limoncello - so of course we all had to have a taste...Aoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677504786349906999.post-53124412795655719572014-11-13T06:25:52.310-05:002014-11-13T06:25:52.310-05:00Even for non-drinkers, the tours were super cool. ...Even for non-drinkers, the tours were super cool. I love learning about the process and seeing the historic bits! I actually cut out a lot of drinking to afford horse shows. There's no way I could afford showing if I didn't stop going out with friends.<br /><br />I remember going to Germany at 14 and getting served beer and whiskey without any question. It was so surreal!Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677504786349906999.post-35334209570149064322014-11-13T06:24:13.445-05:002014-11-13T06:24:13.445-05:00You should go!

NBD as the legal drinking age in Europe is 18, I had my fair share of hangovers by 21 to recognise drinking as the easiest cut from my life to incorporate a horse ;-)<br />However those distillery tours look & sound fantastic, the pictures are amazing. Especially the composite pic with the barrels from the second tour ♡Aoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677504786349906999.post-1193697567349574922014-11-12T23:23:35.367-05:002014-11-12T23:23:35.367-05:00I really liked the Woodford Reserve when I was at ...I really liked the Woodford Reserve when I was at the Derby.

I loved all the tours though - esp Town Branch since I became a fan of their beers. Last Fall, Alltech at KHP hosted an event that was fabulous! Each person got 10 tickets for $10 and all samples were 1 ticket each - there were about 10 craft breweries there with 2-3 types of beer at each station and the bar had all the local bourbons to sample. Needless to say, I was a mellow woman by the time we left!<br /><br />Great post and pics of your vacation! Makes me a bit 'homesick'!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10313417800020012776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677504786349906999.post-85470201449247524212014-11-12T11:46:18.619-05:002014-11-12T11:46:18.619-05:00Cool!

I wonder if there are any similarities in their tour process...
