Taking on the World, One Barrel Tasting at a time
If you had asked me a little over two years ago if I would be involved in the bourbon industry, I probably would have laughed. I knew nothing of the topic and didn’t drink the spirit.
Learning this industry has taught me a lot of things, and this blog is meant to bring those things I learn to you. You won’t find reviews here, only stories about the great people who make up the bourbon industry. And maybe a little about the spirits itself.
