Place to see: Maker’s Mark Historic Distillery, Loretto, Kentucky, United States
Fermenting Room
This is where the sour mash ferments, producing the alcohol that will eventually become bourbon. These 12 foot deep cypress vats hold about 9,300 gallons of sour mash.
About this place:
Maker’s Mark Distillery is a historic handcrafted, small-batch bourbon whiskey maker in Loretto, Kentucky. It was the first and only distillery in America to be named as a National Historic Landmark. You can tour the facilities but the workers are off on the weekends so you can only see the hand dipping of the bottles during the week. It is very hard to get a job here as well, you have to know someone that knows someone thats had family work there for years kinda thing.
