Also, for those of you whose interest in bourbon, its history, and its production has been piqued by the reading of this book, I would recommend, Bourbon: A History of the American Spirit, by Dane Huckelbridge. I found it a wonderful source for further study.
Finally, I would like to thank those readers who have made it all the way to this final note. I hope you’ve enjoyed the journey. And should you ever make a trip to the Bluegrass Region, and Lexington in particular, please stop by Magee’s for a warm greeting, a fine cup of coffee and a wonderful almond croissant. You’ll find it right on East Main, directly across from the white house that sits adjacent to the school district’s Central Office. You may also enjoy some fine food downtown at Saul Good or a great steak at Malone’s. And if you make it to Coffee Times Coffee House, be sure to have some of the delicious Southern Pecan coffee they grind and roast right on the property. Finally, I would really appreciate it if you would visit my dear friend, Marcos Valdez, at his fine establishment, Papi’s Mexican Restaurant. Without his help, all the Hispanic flavors that wind their way through this series would probably turn out to be more like Spanglish than authentic Mexican dialogue. While you’re there, go ahead and order a “Sonia’s Special.” I think you’ll enjoy it.
