Fermentation
One of the first steps in the production of bourbon, one of Kentucky's proudest products, is fermentation. Here you see the fermenting mash bubbling as it releases gases.
I visited Woodford Reserve Distillery with my brother in 2016 as we took in part of Kentucky's Bourbon Trail.
Distilling began on the site of the current day distillery in 1812. Although the site has not been continuously operational as a distillery since, the main structure, built in 1838, stands as one of the oldest distilleries in Kentucky. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is designated as a National Historic Landmark for its well-preserved distillery architecture and its role in the development of the bourbon industry.
