How does bourbon ignite debates about geography, and what makes Blade and Bow bourbon a standout in a world of aged spirits? This week, we navigate the bittersweet absence of one of our co-hosts and still manage to keep the energy high and the conversation flowing. We explore the rich distilling heritage of Kentucky, laugh over common misconceptions about its capital, and ponder the importance of value and partnership in both our personal and professional lives.

With humor as our guide, we traverse the landscapes of Wild Turkey, Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, and Four Roses, each with its compelling story and place in bourbon lore. Russ shares tantalizing insights about Blade and Bow, an intriguing creation from Diageo that emerged just nine years ago, and its deep roots in Louisville's distillery scene. If you're ready for a sensory adventure through bourbon country, pour yourself a glass and tune in, as we toast to partnerships, the joy of discovery, and the eternal appeal of bourbon.
