For those of you driving down from Chicagoland, did you know you will be driving through the land of great bourbon?
...Indiana!
I sent this rec to one of our Keeneland regulars and wanted to share with the whole group that the best bourbon I have had of recent is actually distilled in Indiana: James E. Pepper 1776 15-year.
Great stuff and I highly recommend giving it a try (note that James E. Pepper currently sells four whiskeys: 100-proof and 15-year old rye and 100-proof and 15-year old (bottled at 92 proof I believe) bourbon - the one that knocked my socks off was the 15 yr old bourbon. Pricey but a worthy special occasion bourbon.
Looking forward to seeing you again.Originally Posted by Herb687

Of course, no reason this random guy knows any more than we do. And of course I doubt that we'd stoop to drinking this swill anyway.

It has been almost 3 weeks since this thread was bumped, so I thought it was time. Hope to catch the eye of a few more people.
SPG category 2 rooms (3K on weekends) are still available at the 4 Points, vs. $153-169 all-in for cash.
Avios redemptions on AA may be an economical way to get to/from LEX.

Ok boys, I'm in. Our house is on what was Calumet's orchard. It's inside the Circle now, but I could walk to Keeneland or LEX from there, if I were younger, and there were a few more sidewalks...
We'll likely have to take a hotel room too (tenant in the wing, no beds in the main house) but who knows.
There's plenty of floor space fer shure.

I suppose Griffin Gate is ruled out because Keeneland? I'd like to think it's not because y'all are all Starwood bots.

Welcome aboard to both of you!
Griffin Gate, is that where your FT handle came from?
Just to be clear, 2 of you (GG and LexPassenger) are coming?

No problem with Griffin Gate, one of the best LEX hotels, just a few blocks from the 4Pts (in the past and probably still, you could figure out uniquely which one it is on Priceline). We are just all cheap. Plus Waffle House.Originally Posted by GG
