In this episode of Bourbon With Friends. The team sits down with UFC legend Bruce Buffer and former Campari CMO Umberto Luchini.

Puncher’s Chance Kentucky straight bourbon inspired by two great American traditions: whiskey and fighting for what we believe in. This bourbon is made with heart and honor for those who know how far they’ve come. For those who started early. Stayed late. Day after day. Year after year, For those who have the courage and strength to do what others won’t.

Puncher’s Chance is straight Kentucky bourbon with an uncompromising mission. A bourbon whose time has come – it’s distilled, aged and bottled all in the heart of Kentucky. Crafted in the experienced hands of our Master Distiller, Kevin Curtis, a seasoned pro who refined his career as a former distiller of some of the most prestigious world-class bourbons. For Puncher’s Chance, Kevin uses a marriage of 5 and 6-year bourbon barrels. The mash bill is a 90-proof combo of 75% corn, 13% rye and 12% barley.

Bruce Anthony Buffer is an American professional mixed martial arts ring announcer and the official octagon announcer for UFC events, introduced on broadcasts as the "Veteran Voice of the Octagon". Buffer's catchphrase is "It's time!", which he announces before the main event of the UFC.

Umberto Luchini left his CMO position at Campari America in 2017 after 17 years with the company. He founded Wolf Spirit Distillery that same year, and within three years had created two brands and launched four: Blood x Sweat x Tears™ Vodka, Puncher’s Chance® 100% Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Tom of Finland Organic Vodka™, and Bosscal Mezcals®, with more on the horizon. Umberto’s gut-sense marketing is what is allowing this independent distillery to play in every major category
