The Barrel Report Podcast Takes you “Behind the Barrel” of Kentucky’s Famed Bourbon Industry

Adam Johnson, Kentucky Bourbon Trail Director

It’s finally here – the only podcast devoted entirely to Kentucky’s legendary Bourbon industry. Join host Adam Johnson, Director of the famed Kentucky Bourbon Trail® experiences, as he takes you behind the scenes of the most famous distilleries and their iconic brands.

In episode one, we meet Andrew Buchanan of Hartfield & Co., a small distillery in Paris who is the first and only distillery to bring Bourbon back to Bourbon County. Learn about the story behind their name, the move to their new location and running a small distillery as a family affair.

In episode two Adam sits down with Brent Elliott, the Master Distiller at Four Roses Distillery, to talk about their recipes and how they select barrels for their Limited Releases.

We will be sporadically posting new episodes, so make sure to subscribe and never miss a Barrel Report.

You can listen to The Barrel Report where podcasts are found – Stitcher, SoundCloud and iTunes.
