Kentucky is a state that is known for its food. It’s the south after all! Kentucky is home to unique food creations, such as; Ale-8-One, Mingua Beef Jerky, Burgoo, the Mint Julep, Goetta, Frog legs, Derby Pie, Benedictine, the Kentucky Hot Brown, Bourbon balls, Beer cheese, spoonbread, and even more.

November 10, 2017

Mid-October marked the beginning of the new distilling season. Some may be wondering what is “White Dog Day?” Sadly, it doesn’t involve white doggies (I only say that, because I am a crazy dog lady, but wouldn’t that be the coolest if they were there!). White Dog Day is a celebration held at Buffalo Trace, and this year marked their 244th distilling season. You do the math. That means Buffalo Trace dates back to the year 1773. Buffalo Trace has continuously been operating since 1775. They didn’t even shut down during Prohibition, because they were one of the few distilleries that…
