It's an experiment that might lead to a full-fledged store at the south Lexington shopping mall, plus Maker's Mark kiosks at other malls in Kentucky and Cincinnati, and at major airports all over the country."

We'll learn how to manage that one before we branch off to other markets."

The Fayette Mall kiosk offers such products as Maker's Mark chocolates, coffee and cigars, and barware items dipped in blue wax exclusively for the Lexington area.

...there is alot of demand for these goods
