Show Notes
In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Matt and Mark spend some time in The Bourbon Life Studios hanging out with one of their favorite people in the Bourbon industry, the wonderful Ashley Barnes, Co-Founder & Master Blender, from The Blending House. Ashley was previously a guest on Episodes 144 and 249.
The guys talk with Ashley about how she got started in the industry and the incredible experience that she has gained in that time, the creation of The Spirits Group and how that led to the creation of The Blending House and all of the services that they provide to their clients, as well as a great discussion on the artistic and scientific sides of blending Bourbon.
Ashley mixed things up on the guys a little bit on this Episode by blinding them on 3 different bottles – quizzing them about the tasting notes, the mashbill, the age, and a lot of other factors and then hits them with a BIG surprise to wrap it all up. You'll have to check out the Episode to find out more.
