A little retrospective on the tours as we bus our way back to the pick up point. Each tour was around £200. Yesterdays tour offered fair value and I’ll not rave about it but if someone was planning on taking the tour I wouldn’t dissuade them. Todays tour was not value for money nor a good use of time, I definitely would not recommend this one. Too much time for brunch, far too much time at the Kentucky Artisan, and then the large drive out to Buffalo Trace.
If I was coming back I’d definitely leave more time in Louisville for the various experiences, and I’d do a private tour. |
Enjoying your trip report very much.
Your Buffalo Trace experience was the inverse of ours. 10ish years ago we stopped by on a spring Tuesday and... tour no problem but it was primary day and they couldn't serve or tasted anything! Once the polls closed for the day alcohol was no problem. Of course that was after all the tasting rooms closed! By then we were at a restaurant in Louisville with a great by-the-glass list. They let us pre-order and abou 1 minute after the polls closed we were enjoying some very nice bourbon! |
Parlour tonight for pizza and beer

Everyone has decided to return to the Moxy for nightcaps as we have an early start across the board tomorrow.
At 20:30 the bar is pretty quiet https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...166d03b2f.jpeg I think it’s time for a farewell old fashioned https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e0921c2df.jpeg Or two :D |
or three… thanks for the transporting report. :)

Here's me thinking your first day in Louisville was the Bourbon tour, then the actual Bourbon tour started the next day :D
|
Good morning from the 275 somewhere between Louisville and Cincinnati where it is a little after 7am.
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...27e17b69a.jpeg First flight of the day is to JFK, departing at almost 11am and landing a couple of hours later. I need to check and short ship my broken bag to LHR today, it’s rather weighty and sloshy :D |
Close to gate 21 is the lounge. This is surprisingly Small, seating for no more than fifty very friendly people.

It’s been fun touring with others but being in a group means pretty much zero time to oneself. Enjoyed the trip, now happy to be back solo :D |
CVG used to be a significant Delta hub so it's a big beautiful airport that's pretty underutilized now. I haven't been in a while but I sense that it's held up better than Pittsburgh (abandoned by American/USAir). And definitely St. Louis (American/TWA).

There is a crew outfitters shop across the way and so I had to go and be nosy. Couldn’t resist these

Very cool TR. I do not drink Bourbon but enjoyed reading.
By the way I visit the US once or twice a year for work and every time the quality of the food is shockingly crap. Fried processed everything. |

Having drunk enough coffee in the lounge to keep an elephant awake I took a little walk to the gate
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2e3e3ff21.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...723aee682.jpeg Still almost a half hour to boarding so plenty of time for a little wander and explore |
