  Bourbon Distillery Tour
  and Fusaichi Pegasus

  バーボン蒸留所とサラブレッド牧場見学ツアー
  

  ちらし
  
  
  
  Did you know that 90% of the world's bourbon is distilled in Kentucky?  Did you know that Kentucky Derby winner, Japanese-owned Fusaichi Pegasus, lives near Lexington at Ashford Stud Horse Farm?
  
  JASK has partnered with JTB Travel to bring you and your kids to two bourbon distilleries (Four Roses, Woodford Reserve) and to Ashford Stud in just one day.  Japanese will be spoken on the bus for our Japanese members.  The bus will pick up passengers at Northern Kentucky University and then at the Candlewood Suites in North Lexington. 
  
  Many Japanese and even Americans living in Kentucky have never experienced Kentucky's heritage so richly.  Tours in Japanese and English will be given at all three sites.  We will stop for lunch from Smokin Jax barbecue along the way.  The tour is designed to be kid-friendly and is open to the public - so come with your family and friends!
  
  Join us on the bus or drive on your own for this historic tour to local distilleries and to see Fusaichi Pegasus.  Learn the insiders' story about distilling and breeding, two native Kentucky industries with remarkable global reach.
  
  
  ケンタッキーの名産品といえばバーボンと馬。
  バーボンの蒸留所（Woodford ReserveとFour Roses）を日本語のガイド付きで見学した後、一般ではまず訪れることができないAshford牧場の見学をします。この牧場には、2000年のケンタッキーダービーで優勝したフサイチペガサスがいます。
  バスはシンシナティから出発し、レキシントンはサークル４北(場所は下記の地図でご確認ください）のキャンドルウッドスイーツでバスに乗ります。
  ご家族でご参加ください。
