"Spirit of Kentucky"
The warmth of Kentucky Bourbon and sunlight against rustic textures of wood and metal.
The glass on top is a first taste from the barrel after all that time and care to make the perfect flavor. I personally really enjoy trying different bourbons, and find there's quite a range. The sweetness from caramelized sap inside the charred barrel, the smoothness of wood, and subtle flavors of grain make for a tasty evening beverage. I prefer mine with a little ice.
"Spirit of Kentucky" symbolizes bourbon as Kentucky's own spirit liquor, crafted right up the road from where I've lived my whole life, and celebrated globally. It's also a double entendre symbolizing Kentucky Pride. If you're ever in the neighborhood, you should definitely take some of the bourbon warehouse tours!
Cheers!

Mr. Thorton I I have fallen in love with your digital print of The spirit of Ky. I first saw your artwork at a home of a man who made our mantle,it looked as if it was on canvas. Is there any way you could tell me how I could find one for sale ? This particular piece was long & narrow, I have worked in the boubon industry & this would be awesome to have this art hanging in my home ! Thank you so much
