Whiskey to Wild West

Yesterday was a travel day in Andiamo. We ventured across the most desolate areas I have seen in many moons from Thermopolis, Wy to Cody Wy. Stark landscape between two huge mountain ranges. But in the middle of nowhere we stumbled onto the Wyoming Whiskey Company distillery. We spent an hour with Gary touring the facility. It was awesome to say the least.

Wyoming Whiskey is true bourbon whiskey made from limestone filtered water, local corn, barley and wheat cooked together, then aged in charred white oak barrels before the golden love is bottled and sold. This is good sippin whiskey for sure. Check it out at www.wyomingwhiskey.com

We tried to buy a case, but they make so little of this precious stuff they would only sell us one bottle per person. They are averaging only 8 barrels a week! They cannot keep up with the demand at this point and are adding another 4 fermenters to the distillery soon.

So next time you pass Kirby, Wy population 97 (if company is in town) stop in for a tour and taste of some mighty fine moonshine. It's located 12 miles north of Thermopolis, Wy.

After a wonderful tasting we headed out to Cody and stopped in Meeteetse, Wy for lunch along the
Grey Bull River. Then on to Cody and a wonderful time at the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum. Charlotte got some amazing pics of a Great Horned Owl and Peregrine Falcon they were showcasing at the museum. She was totally in her element with these birds. You can see more pics at http://taters.smugmug.com/Other-1/Unfurled-Road-to-Cody/30213915_KJ577f

We are heading further north this morning through the NE corner of Yellowstone National Park to our next stop which is 5 days fishing on the mighty Yellowstone River!!! Heee Yaaaa. And hanging our with friends in Emmigrant Montana.
