If you’d told me ten years ago that I’d be sharing the history of Wild Turkey Bourbon with bartenders from around the world, I would’ve chuckled. Bourbon was barely on my radar then. Wild Turkey, a fuzzy college memory. Standing on the porch of Tyrone’s historic rickhouse A, looking out over the picturesque Kentucky River, […]

You know you’ve had a remarkable trip when you carry your journey beyond its destination. As my final plane touched down in Tuesday’s early morning hours, I was happy to be home.
