We made it home and so did the bourbon barrel. After picking it up at 4 Roses Distillery in Kentucky we carried that dang thing around with us for over 8,000 miles. Our plan is to age some Trinidad nibs in the barrel. Hopefully we'll have some yummy bourbon barrel aged chocolate available this fall.
Guess who was at our house when we arrived? Megan and Kevin! We enlisted Kevin's help in getting the bourbon barrel opened up. So exciting! The day we bought this barrel, bourbon was emptied out of it that very morning. It definitely has a bourbon aroma. We dried our towels over the barrel daily and yes, they always smelled like bourbon. mmm, maybe so did we?
Megan was so cute anticipating the bourbon fragrance.
Opening up the barrel and Kevin's face says it all. Yep, Angel's share right there!
Thanks family and friends for joining us on our latest road trip adventure. It was so fun sharing our journey with you.
Now, back to chocolate making, building a chocolate lab and selling chocolate!
