Had a great weekend in Louisiana where I covered the New Orleans Bourbon Festival. Had a wonderful time catching up with all my favorites in the industry. There was also an impromptu wedding as well.
Had the absolute best time in Louisville last weekend! I got to meet with the Master Distillers of both Michter's and Jim Beam, helped pick a barrel of bourbon to be bottled and sold (only my second time doing it), sampled some of most allocated bourbons on the market, and had some good times with a lot of friends in the industry. #tbt
I don't know where I found time to study but really proud I passed the WSET Level 2 exam in spirits! To earn it I learned about spirit production techniques around the world including Tequila, Mezcal, Rum, Vodka, and yes- Whiskey.
The tastings were probably my favorite part.
