Nice tabblo. Beautiful place. Did you get a chance to try doing the red wax seal? I'd read somewhere that visitors get to try their technique at doing the wax seal.

We have on a previous trip to the distillery dipped a fresh bottle of whiskey. (Please don't get the idea that we "frequent" a distillery...!) On this occasion, the huge numbers of visitors made for long lines and we made no attempt to "wax" a bottle. You can also have your name placed on your own barrel of whiskey. Then, after many years of waiting, you can return to package your own aged whiskey into a bottle yourself.

The dip -

A very silly action rap assembly line dipping -

A too long video of an amateur wax dipping.

I remember some flash web page where you could "try" doing the wax dip but I haven't found it.

Sorry about the cross posting. I'd loaded the page to check if I'd missed anything and then I did some web searching and posted. In the mean time you posted.

Nice photos. Almost like being there!! The people in the third photo look like some real "track experts"!!

Wonderful. I've been to Keeneland twice in the last five years during Spring. Wonderful place. Would be better w/out all the smoke though.

Thanks for the comments and the interesting web sites that you posted LatentE. I looked at all of them and I liked the assembly line rap dance.... these ladies are professionals! ElZorro, what event did you attend in the Spring, ... did you attend on a regular race day, or on the day of some special event? We had a lot of fun, and broke even for the day.
