“They’re at the post…”
In Kentucky, they say the limestone water that flows through the creeks, rivers and lakes is good for two things; building strong bones in Kentucky thoroughbred horses and distilling Kentucky bourbon whiskey. Just like the Kentucky thoroughbreds that have a reputation as the fastest horses in the world, the Kentucky Bourbon Affairs coveted Golden Tickets have built up their own reputation as one of the fastest selling distilled spirits tickets in the world.
“They’re off!”
