From hands-on barrel sampling to creating custom bourbon blends, this immersive experience is a must for any whiskey enthusiast.
A special thanks goes out to Amy Preske for arranging this memorable day, and to Dakota and the entire J. Mattingly team for the warm hospitality and deep knowledge of bourbon blending. The episode also touches on the recent severe weather in Kentucky, including destructive tornadoes, historic flooding, and other storms that have deeply affected communities across the Commonwealth.
