Happiness is an eight-story, slab-sided storehouse nestling on the side of a wooded hill where twenty thousand barrels of bourbon age peacefully to mellow maturity. Security is several of these storehouses, so that an aficionado need not fear for his bourbon future.
These pleasing emotions unfolded themselves to Priscilla Buckley and me on a spring morning in Clermont, Kentucky, where the forsythia was in full bloom and the little birds sang out their hearts in praise of their Maker. Clermont is one of the two places in Kentucky (Beam is the other) where the Beam family make one of America’s largest selling bourbons.
