Kicking off National Bourbon Heritage Month with James B. Beam Distilling Co. Homeplace
We’re kicking off National Bourbon Heritage Month with one of the legendary distilleries of Kentucky Bourbon. We’ve traveled to James B. Beam Distilling Co. to chat about the Homeplace, located in Clermont, Kentucky, and their 90th year at that location. Alex Bowie, Director of Homeplace Experience at James B. Beam Distilling Co. sits down with Jake and Scott inside the Historic Beam House. We discuss how Beam has evolved its Homeplace over the last 90 years, the importance of adapting to the evolving bourbon tourist, and some of the innovations coming from this historic distillery. After listening to this week’s episode, you need to head to BeamDistilling.com to plan your trip to Clermont and book your experiences to immerse yourself in the James B. Beam Distilling Co. Homeplace experience.
