In addition to trying moonshine as @WoWgirll suggests .. given your affinity for Buffalo Trace .. you might want to check out the Kentucky Bourbon trail sometime for that more refined barrel aged experience. You can do individual tours up to pkg bus tours .. Can even do a Groupon for it and hit 4 excellent distilleries.

The Kentucky Horse Park is worth a visit too if you like horse racing at all.
I have family in the region, went to Woodford earlier this year.
@WoWgirll I've seen him post on Buffalo Trace enough the thought hit he might enjoy the experience. Its on my list too at some point, but I'll probably be living within 2 hrs of the majority of the distilleries at some point next year.
@Cigarguy meet you in Springfield and I'll show you lol. I'll dm you my favorite i think you guys would have a blast, scenic 7 hwy in Arkansas is the best ride for the the scenery. Take I-44 from Joplin South and have fun.
