⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Behind the Barrel — Bourbon Education With a Side of Bad Financial Decisions**
Bardstown Bourbon Company的点评
点评：⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Behind the Barrel — Bourbon Education With a Side of Bad Financial Decisions**
We were told we were the **very first group to take Bardstown Bourbon Company’s new “Behind the Barrel” tour**, which either meant we were VIPs or test subjects. After a few samples, we stopped caring which.
We’ve done a lot of distillery tours, so at this point we’ve heard enough about mash bills, charred oak, and rickhouses to probably fake our way through a job interview at a distillery. But this tour genuinely brought something different to the table.
Learning about Bardstown Bourbon Company, its history, and especially the innovation behind the way they approach Kentucky bourbon was fascinating. The tour was informative without feeling like a chemistry lecture, and it gave us a much better appreciation for how much thought and experimentation goes into what eventually ends up in the glass.
Then came the tasting — which, naturally, is where everyone suddenly became an excellent student.
Michael walked us through three different single-barrel bourbon selections and taught us the proper way to taste bourbon, how to identify different flavor profiles, and how something as simple as **where a barrel sits in the rickhouse** can dramatically change both the proof and flavor.
Turns out there’s a little more to bourbon tasting than taking a sip, nodding thoughtfully, and saying, “That’s dangerously good.”
Who knew?
The tasting took place in the **Bourbon Library**, which may be one of the most appropriately named yet financially dangerous rooms in Kentucky. The walls are packed with bourbon bottles ranging from the Prohibition era to today, including bottles from just about every major distiller you can think of.
And yes — many of them are available to purchase pours from.
So basically, it’s a library where nobody tells you to be quiet and the books can get you drunk.
This place could easily turn a “quick tasting” into a missing afternoon and a suspicious credit-card statement.
We also had the opportunity to purchase our favorite bottle from the tasting, with all three selections being single barrels. That’s a fantastic touch because nothing says “I learned something today” quite like leaving the distillery carrying another bottle of bourbon.
Michael was an absolutely fantastic host. He was knowledgeable, engaging, personable, funny, and clearly passionate about bourbon and what Bardstown Bourbon Company is doing. He made the experience feel relaxed and conversational while still teaching us a tremendous amount.
For anyone who has already done several Kentucky distillery tours and wants something a little different, **Behind the Barrel is absolutely worth booking.**
Five stars for the tour.
Five stars for Michael.
And zero stars for the Bourbon Library’s impact on my self-control.

翻译：⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **“Behind the Barrel”——波本威士忌品鉴之旅，顺便看看那些糟糕的理财决策**
我们得知自己是**第一批参加巴兹敦波本威士忌公司全新推出的“Behind the Barrel”游览活动的游客**，这意味着我们要么是贵宾，要么就是实验对象吧。尝了几口酒后，我们也就不在乎到底是哪种身份了。
我们参加过很多酿酒厂的参观活动，到现在为止，关于谷物配比、炭烤橡木桶以及酒窖管理的相关知识我们也听得够多了——说不定都能在酿酒厂的面试中蒙混过关呢。不过这次参观确实带来了一些与众不同的体验。
了解巴兹敦波本酒公司、它的历史，尤其是他们在酿造肯塔基波本威士忌时所运用的创新手法，真的非常有趣。整个参观过程既富有知识性，又不会让人觉得像在听化学课；它让我们深刻体会到，最终呈现在我们杯中的美酒其实凝聚了无数心血与反复试验。
随后便是品酒环节——理所当然地，这也是最令人期待的部分。正是在那里，所有人都瞬间变成了优秀的“品酒学生”。
迈克尔向我们介绍了三种不同的单桶波本威士忌，还教我们正确的品酒方法，如何辨别不同的风味特征。他特别强调，像“酒桶在酒窖中的位置”这种看似简单的因素，其实能极大地影响威士忌的酒精度与风味。
原来，品鉴波本威士忌可不只是抿一口、若有所思地点点头，然后感叹一句：“这酒真是好到让人无法抗拒啊。”这么简单而已。谁能想到呢？
品酒活动是在“波本酒图书馆”里举行的。这或许是肯塔基州命名最为贴切、但也最容易让人破财的地方了。墙面上摆满了从禁酒令时期至今的各类波本酒瓶，几乎囊括了你能想到的所有大型酿酒商的产品。
没错——其中很多酒都可以直接购买来饮用。
说到底，这就是一座“图书馆”：这里没人会要求你保持安静，而那些“书籍”则能让你喝得酩酊大醉。这个地方简直能把一次“简短的品鉴”变成一个虚度的下午，还会让你的信用卡账单显得有些可疑。
我们还有机会购买自己在品鉴环节中最喜欢的威士忌——这三款酒均来自同一桶原酒。这一设计真是妙不可言：毕竟，没有什么比带着另一瓶波本威士忌离开酿酒厂更能体现“我今天学到了新知识”这一点的了。
迈克尔是一位极其出色的东道主。他知识渊博、风趣幽默，待人亲切又富有魅力。他显然对波本威士忌以及巴兹敦波本酒公司所做的工作充满热情。他让整个参观过程轻松自在、氛围融洽，同时也向我们传授了大量知识。
对于那些已经参观过多家肯塔基州酿酒厂、希望体验点不一样内容的人而言，**“Behind the Barrel”绝对值得预约。**
这次参观体验：五星。
迈克尔本人：五星。
至于波本酒图书馆对我自制力的影响？零分。
