It takes me four hours to drive from Jonesburough to Lexington ... so I'm guessing easy six or seven hours from Knoxville to Lexington.

Buffalo Trace, I've been there, that's in Frankfort once you go through Lexington via the bypass and you're heading toward Lousiville ... that's doable maybe.

Woodford is in Versailles, it's a little more off the beaten path ... it's a cool tour we just did this past season. We got in special, I'm not sure but I think most tours there happen in the mornings, you may want to check that in advance. We started early that morning, we stayed in Lexington, we hit Woodford first then drove to Bardstown from there for Heaven Hill then drove back to Lexington that night. Seeing both places was an all day thing and we started in Lexington on a Friday.

Maps says it's only 2.5 hrs from Knoxville to Lexington. I'll call around and see how long tours are. If I can only do one, which would you recommend? I love everything from Buff Trace, but if they're not hospitable and won't give me any pappy, then I could be convinced otherwise.

Well hell ... that's right. You're going straight from Knoxville and I've naturally got Jonesburough on the brain because that's where our summer place is located.

You will not need to go that way - what the hell was I thinking.

It's still going to be one fast long day with you blowing and going hitting Woodford first then Lexington then Buffalo Trace then all the way over to Louisville ... good luck with that.

You should be able to catch your breath Sunday in Louisville.

It should be a neat quick little trip. You can always catch missed breweries and stables when you go up for a game.
