With all of the crazy weather the heart of American whiskey country has been seeing of late, lots of snow in particular, it has become something of a daily ritual to watch for the latest openings and closings of the various distilleries in Kentucky via the Kentucky Bourbon Trail website and social media channels.

Some poking around on the Facebook pages of the big names in American whiskey making produced some very amazing photos, of which you can view some of the better shots below.
