After a night filled with country roads and delicious pizza the Random Road Trippers awoke to a fierce rainstorm. Although it would have been nice to wait for the weather to clear, the schedule simply would not allow it.
As the sheets of rain caused near white out conditions, one could only be reminded of the near miss of a tornado during the first random road trip. The only difference was instead of Beets driving Ben's car, Ben was now driving Beet's.
After thirty minutes of hydro-planing, the road trippers could use a stiff drink, luckily the Jim Beam Distillery was next on their list!
With quite the southern belle as a tour guide, the road trippers learned the storied history of both the company and the family. The highlight by far was the trip into one of the aging warehouses. As your eyes adjusted to the dimly lit interior, a bourbon paradise slowly came into focus. Thousands of barrels stacked seven stories high surrounded you. And the smell alone most likely raised each of the roadtrippers BA by a few points.
The tour was smart, because they knew the only thing that would coax the roadtrippers out of the warehouse would be the opportunity to sample some of this fine product, and so that is what they did.
Not to some, drinking bourbon before 10 AM may sound a little distasteful, but don't knock it before you try it!
As each of the roadtrippers carefully carried their armloads of "souvenirs" to the car, they took one last deep breath of the bourbon soaked air and headed to their next locale.
