Mike Lisac (My Whiskey Den) was in Louisville and we took that opportunity to hit up a few spots on the famous Whiskey Row. Our adventures also took us to a couple of stops beyond there, too.We visited Bardstown Bourbon Co., the bar at Michter's Fort Nelson, Buzzard's Roost (sort of), and Whiskey Thief's new tasting room. Afterwards, we caught up with our friend Benjamin Eaves at the soft opening of Kentucky Artisan Distiller's new tasting room.

One recurring theme of Bourbon Turntable is to support local. Local music and local whiskey.Wherever you are, there are smaller, local distilleries making great whiskey. And there are very talented musicians playing small venues practically in your backyard. This week, I visit with a couple of those musicians in my town: Zeno Jones and Earl Bowman (who is also a co-host of Top Hill Recording Podcast). We talk about their music, the challenges of being an "established, amateur musician", and how people can help support them.We also enjoy some whiskey from local distilleries. The first pour is Buzzard's Roost Cigar Rye and the second pour is Toasted Barrel Bourbon from Kentucky Peerless.I encourage you to find some local music venues and musicians, and local distilleries and give them your support. It will mean more than you know.
