E264 - Bluegrass Distillers w/Sam Rock, Ben Franzini, and Chase Wagers

Bluegrass Distillers was founded in 2012 in Lexington, KY. Starting with a dedicated leader and a 250 gallon still, Bluegrass Distillers persevered and truly got better with age. After expanding as much as they could at their original location, they recently purchased Elkwood Farm in Midway, Kentucky, built a state of the art distillery, and curated an award winning bourbon tour experience. For this episode, we hang with co-owners of Bluegress Distillers, Sam Rock and Ben Franzini. They discuss their humble beginnings, all the exciting things going on currently, and their plans for the future. In addition, we get to chat with one of the newest members of the company, Chase Wagers. Chase is a certified bourbon steward, brand ambassador, and helps curate single barrels/new products for Bluegrass Distillers. He brought some amazing stuff for us to try from the various labels that are part of the Bluegrass Distillers brand. We already knew about Bluegrass Distillers and all of their potential, but after this conversation, we are convinced that they might be one of the best kept secrets in bourbon. You are definitely going to want to pay attention to all the amazing stuff they are doing. This was an insightful, fun, and eye opening conversation. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did and we sincerely hope you will check out Bluegrass Distillers. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyTW: https://twitter.com/themashupkyPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPVisit https://woodworkcollective.shop and enter code MASHUP for a 15% discount on your orderMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!
