Bourbon and Blondes

As we sample THREE different whiskeys from our favorite distiller in Saint Louis, MO we discuss what home means to us. Is it physically Saint Louis? Is it a feeling we get in a certain location? Is it something we love and hate at the same time? Home can mean so many different things, it is both emotional and physical, but home makes you exactly who you are.  Cheers!

While we sip on Heritage Distillery Dual Barrel Collection Bourbon we discuss the word Create. Can everyone Create? Yes. Does everyone? No. Should we? Hell Yes! This word defines everything Alaina lives and breathes between photography, event planning, ideas for the podcast and brand. Abby expresses her creativity in both the corporate world and how she gives back to the community. Creating can allow you to learn about yourself, teach you that failure is ok, and generate a sense of pride. Very much like the majority female owned heritage distillery puts it - a piece of their heart goes into every spirit they distill, we want this to be the way we live our life and urge you to do the same. Create from the heart.

Hang out with the blondes while they taste Jack Daniels Barrel Proof Single Barrel Bourbon, or Tennessee Whiskey, and discuss strength. What does Strength mean to Abby and Alaina? Do you know how heavy a full barrel is of bourbon? Strength can be physical, emotional, and mental. It will challenge you in many ways. Cheers!

While we sip on Four Roses and learn what allows them to blend such a balanced delectable bourbon, we talk about balance. Is it easy? Does it come naturally? Are we experts? Listen along and find out - we may even give you a few tools to achieve better balance in your life!

Bourbon and Blondes: Courage. Kick off our Courage Episode with some tried and true Maker's Mark. While we admire the hips of Makers, we delve into what courage means to us. Is it a choice, a risk, overcoming fear, being vulnerable, and getting your A$$ kicked? Or it it all of those? Without courage you live within your safe zone. We wrap up the episode with the courage of one Margie Samuels and some phenomenal women in Saint Louis. Listen all the way through to hear about our wonderful hometown heroes. 

Bourbon and Blondes: Legacy. How do you live an impactful life? We tell you our thoughts over a glass of Elijah Craig. 

Bourbon & Blondes: Value. We walk through the history of where Old Granddad came from, then walk through a little tasting discussing the nose and taste and finish. After the tasting we walk through our word of the episode: value. We share what value means to us: self worth, what you bring to the table, how you add value to your world, how we hope to add value to our audience, and adding value through our day to day lives. We finish the episode by talking about 5 traits of high value women (that drive fellas wild). Enjoy!

Bourbon & Blondes. As we sip on Old Forester Bottled in Bond we discuss Old Forester and it's history and the notes of the bourbon. Then we give you some notes on the Blondes behind Bourbon and Blondes. Then our Word of the Episode... BEGINNINGS. We go over how beginnings are exciting, how they are terrifying, how they present an opportunity to learn and screw up. Because beginnings are scary as $#*t. We wrap the episode while discussing the history and role women have played in whiskey and distilling since the beginning of time. This podcast is a beginning for us and we hope you enjoy it!
