Taking what he learned in the industry, he created his own brand of Bourbon and Rye Whiskey. He’s seen too many brands try to make quick money with whiskey that’s not allowed to mature. At Old Louisville Whiskey Co. they are committed to patience in the pursuit of quality. For more details, listen and see the website to order your own shipped to your door: oldlouisvillewhiskey.com

From the Cuddly Cactus Paloma to sip on while watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas or The Griswold to accompany Christmas Vacation, Brian cooked up simple recipes that will land you on the “nice” list.

Jennifer is a Louisville native and Executive Bourbon Steward. She co-founded Make & Muddle in 2018 to fill the void in the marketplace for a cocktail & mocktail company centered around a passion for delicious, easy and sophisticated craft beverages.

Meet Kenny Coleman, host of the Bourbon Pursuit podcast. He and his partners have grown in experience and notoriety over the last several years. After trying almost everyone else’s bourbon, they decided to create their own blends. As they say on pursuitspirits.com “For us, it was searching for rare whiskey and seeking out the people and stories behind every great bottle. After years of interviews, we learned that memories aren’t created by what’s inside the bottle, but by those who enjoy it together. This inspired us to write our own story. Our pursuit led us to hand select every barrel and bottle it completely untouched. Every barrel chosen is unique, developing its own narrative that becomes an episode in the series. This pursuit is for you.” For more of their adventures in whiskey, follow their show on Bourbon Pursuit on your podcast platform of choice.
