Wild Turkey Distillery

<p>We went to the Wild Turkey Bourbon distillery in Lawrenceburg, KY.  I didn't know anything about bourbon.  It seems bourbon is a type of whiskey but predominantly corn instead of rye (or something like that).  Anyway there are all these federal regulations about it which they seem to resent but also protect them - like bourbon has to be made in the US, and it has to be mostly corn, and it has to be aged in new barrels.  Finally there was a tasting, and we bought the single barrel fanciest one - it's written on the neck in which warehouse and which shelf  it lived for 10 years.
