The Evan Williams Bourbon Experience is coming to downtown Louisville's revitalized Whiskey Row [Travel]
As Governor Steve Beshear treks across Asia, bearing the gifts of “bourbon-whiskey” from his Old Kentucky Home, it is becoming evident that the spirits industry is thriving, and our home state is at the epicenter. Investors in places as far away as Japan are taking an interest in the beverage that was born and raised in the Bluegrass, meaning our hometown stills are experiencing unprecedented growth. With a rise in profits comes an expansion of the beloved distilleries where these liquors have been fostered for years.
The Merits of Mozz [Food & Dining]
There is nothing in the whole wide world like fresh mozzarella. The clinging moistness of it yielding under your teeth and coating your tongue with creaminess, the whey dripping from the cheese and whetting your palate. Fresh mozzarella is pure, perfect with a slight sprinkle of salt, springy and graciously light. Mozz, on 445 Market Street, has a fresh mozzarella bar using local ingredients, and I visited on a weeknight with some friends to test the merits of their cheese and their cocktails.
