Join us from The Bourbon On The Banks Festival right on the Kentucky River for a barrel of laughs and a glass of smooth Kentucky whiskey as we sit down with Greg Keeley, a retired military veteran and bourbon distiller extraordinaire. Greg, originally from a winemaking family in Australia, not only spills his secrets of bourbon crafting but also shares an unforgettable story about being shot in the butt! 

From farming to military service and finally, to the art of bourbon making, Greg's transformation is no ordinary tale. His unique journey led him to create Lawrenceburg Bourbon Company's first whiskey, the single barrel One Cask. You'll learn about the meticulous process behind its creation, from sourcing oak from different forests in France to the intricate charring process. Greg shares how this whiskey strikes the perfect balance of unique flavors and a warm finish that doesn't burn.
 
As the conversation flows, Greg takes us through his distillery, explaining each step of whiskey production from fermentation to bottling. He also reveals his profound respect for bourbon and why it holds a special place in his heart. But it's not all whiskey talk - the Australian influence at Lawrenceburg Bourbon Company shines through in the most comical ways. From Vegemite tastings to blasting Australian music in the distillery, Greg ensures that every day is a 'G'day' at Lawrenceburg. Tune in, have a hearty laugh, and discover the complex art of bourbon making with Greg Keeley.
