Sir, I humbly request that you appeal on my behalf to Governor Beshear.
I offer up the following as my qualifications:
a) I am a member in good standing of the Order of the Kentucky Rifles
b) I am an honorary citizen (lifetime) of the city of West Point, Kentucky
c) I am an official Makers Mark Ambassador
d) I am a Kentucky resident aged 18 or greater
e) I am amazingly awesome
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
I've been an Ambassador for about 10 years now, but I still haven't made it down to the distillery :blush:
FWIW, Makers Mark tastes a slight bit "hot" straight up.
BTW Cal, how was Pikeville?

I'm sorry, but Maker's Mark premium small batch bourbon is only available for free tastings at our distillery located in the beautiful rolling hills near Loretto, Kentucky, in the heart of Bluegrass Country.

I actually prefer Woodford Reserve :blush:, but that establishment lacks an ambassadorial program. Their loss. :)
I didn't get up to Pikeville. :( We couldn't board the dog because he's too young to get his rabies shot, and amazingly we couldn't find a place up there that allowed pets that wasn't booked solid. Even the campgrounds we checked with didn't allow pets (!!!).

The only recent updates have been:
a) Hardin County was visited for a fifth time, so got colored solid red.
b) A Marion County site was visited (Maker's Mark, in fact), so got colored pink. Previously I'd only driven through it and never gotten out of the car.

I just got back from Owensboro, which would be the furthest west I've been in the state. ugh, I can see why Johnny Depp didn't stay. Killer barbecue, though... I had chopped mutton, chopped pork, and beef brisket for lunch with banana pudding for dessert. :mmm:
