Bourbon Turntable

This week we talk about what it takes to breakthrough in the distilling industry.  Kelley Tennille (Hartfield & Co. and Jeptha Creed) and Ben Eaves (Kentucky Artisan Distillery) share their experiences breaking into the whiskey business as distillers.  It's a very honest and insightful conversation.

Cheers.  Love.  Free Bird!

This week we talk with Austin Huff.  Austin has had an interesting career in radio broadcasting and is now a DJ on US-99 in Chicago.  He is a relatively new whiskey fan, so we talk to him about what drew him into it.  There is some fun conversation on music including some reminiscing about contemporary Christian music and how things started going wrong with Ace of Base.

Here's the playlist inspired by the show:
