Fermentation is hot! Home Movies hits the road this week and visits the Maker’s Mark distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. We learn a lot: a barrel of whiskey weighs 550 lbs and I can’t move 550 lbs, bottling is … stressful, Maker’s Mark is a small operation with a big heart (it’s a B corp!), and I like whiskey. When we get home, we make Cobb Salad which, according to David, I can’t stop talking about. This Cobb is at its core a really well seasoned salad thanks to a lemon, shallot, mustard vinaigrette. It’s elegant! And it’s also accessorized (enter chicken, avocado, tomato, bacon – of course, egg, and blue cheese). I enjoy mine with a brown derby, a bittersweet bourbon (did I mention I like whiskey?) cocktail that is duality personified.
Thank you Maker’s Mark for sponsoring this episode and being the greatest host! We’d love to visit you again (I promise I won’t try to bottle this time).

It has a wonderful history
Watching this was fun tbh
That chicken recipe was so tempting
That's a unique way of cutting an onion, at least I have never seen it
I bet this would taste good
I would be trying it once at least
So much just for one salad
I would consider it as a whole meal instead of just a salad
I would be making this when I am free for the whole day
Cobb salad is my new favorite now
The fermentation containers were so huge
Is visiting allowed for everyone???
I have been to multiple scotch whisky distilleries in Scotland
I appreciate the craftsmanship and hard work
So much effort in the making
The demand and the value are more because of the hard work
A tour would be worth at this place
This is a phenomenal place
Nice to see all the work and efforts
The best part is the tasting part lol
I would love to work somewhere like this
It just goes well with anything
The salad was the highlight here
No one would be as obsessed as her for a salad
I had never seen a tour this good
I appreciate your efforts, a lot really
An innovative food video
I want to be to a whisky factory once
That was such a fun episode!
What a fantastic episode! Sponsored videos are usually so lame, but I really enjoyed seeing how Maker's is made. Will def be trying it soon. And that salad looked divine. Home run!
Brown derby 🐎 where I Love Lucy episode was. Ps: just made bacon in oven for BTs.
I'm in the UK and have never seen a cobb salad over here. I had my first and only one ever in Polite Pig in Disney Springs in 2019 and I've thought about it ever since, it was my favourite salad ever. I subbed bacon and chicken for a maple glazed salmon fillet because I'm pescetarian. It was so great, what a salad
here for ALL of the salad content!! this is so satisfying to watch for all of the sounds and colours of the fresh veg and meats 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Thank you very much. Such a Fun video. Your Channel is one of the Best channels Ever
🍋🍋 🏆 🤩
The salad is great except that it stinks of pork. Try smoked fish instead of chicken to go with the blue cheese.
تبارك الله عليك 👍🏻
Loved the look into Maker's Mark! Super cool and interesting!
صلاطة جميلة تسلم يديك سيدتي انا من المغرب

I would love it if you did a book with recipes just for side dishes or potluck dishes. I know you are not a potluck kind of person, but I think anything you prepare would be great to bring to a party at work, friend's house, family gathering or church.
