This week we welcome Maker’s Mark back to the show! Trevor Bowles, the Manager of VIP Tour and Trade engagement at Makers Mark distillery on Star Hill Farm sits down with me and we talk whiskey! Not only is he an expert on all things Maker’s Mark, but he is a true steward of the whiskey culture. He appreciates good bourbon and the community it can create and it was a blast picking his brain for a couple hours while him and I drank through some delicious Maker’s Mark pours culminating in the new 2025 The Keepers Release! Him and I dive into this new release while also discussing Maker’s Mark history, the impact the Samuels family has had on the whiskey industry and how he came to be the Manager of VIP Tour and Trade Engagement on this weeks Bourbon Showdown Podcast.
