As a quick follow-up to yesterday's review of McIlhenny's Gold, I thought some of you may be interested in a peek at the handful of photos I took there in July 2019 during a relatively brief visit to the island. I regret not having spent more time on the island so that I could see all of the island and not just the museum, company store, and bottling factory facilities there. I hope to rectify that sometime this summer while visiting relatives in that part of the state.

There's so much wildlife and other interesting sites on the island to see that I really regret now that the clock ran out on me when it did. I arrived too late in the day to see anything else.
(A click on the photos should enlarge them.)
Cool. I like those casks. I had to look up Avery Island on a map. What an interesting place and Tabasco mecca.
ReplyDeleteThe history of that place and the operation fascinates me even though sometimes myth and reality start to blend a little too much together.
