Podcasts about Calloway

Arch West had the heart of an entrepreneur and liked to take risks. Unfortunately he worked for Frito-Lay and had bosses to convince. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [AirVantage Heating & Cooling Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young and Stephen Semple is here with another Empire Builders story. And today, whispered in my ear as the countdown started that we’re going to talk about Doritos and Tostitos. And my brain instantly had electric shot go through it because are they the same? Are Tostitos and Doritos, is it the same company? Is Frito-Lay- Stephen Semple: Same company. Yeah, yep. Frito-Lay. Dave Young: Yeah. How about Takis? Stephen Semple: Oh, I don’t know. Dave Young: They get bought up yet? Stephen Semple: I don’t know. But [inaudible 00:02:04] did, they were actually created by Frito-Lay. Dave Young: By Frito-Lay. Again, back to my childhood, we’d go to the lake in the summer and always had bags and bags of nacho cheese flavored Doritos. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: And my mom used to say, “We’re going to eat so many of these. There’s just going to be corners poking out of us.” Oh my gosh. They’ve been around a while. Stephen Semple: They have been around a while. Yeah, they were launched in 1966. Dave Young: Doritos or … Stephen Semple: Doritos was done first and it was launched by Frito-Lay in 1966. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Today, Doritos is part of Pepsi. And the estimated sales coming from Doritos is like 2 to $3 billion a year in sales. That’s a lot of cheese nachos. Dave Young: It is. Stephen Semple: It’s one of the top snack brands in the world sold in over 100 countries. So now while it’s a product inside of a big company, there’s a reason why I feel like it’s a bit of an empire building story because it’s an interesting little story of risk taking an entrepreneurship inside of this big corporation. That’s why I felt like it still kind of fits. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: And it’s all because of the actions of a guy by the name of Arch West, who’s a Frito-Lay executive. And when you hear this story, you realize he’s got a heart of an entrepreneur and is a bit of a risk-taker. Dave Young: Arch West. Stephen Semple: Arch West. So Arch came from nothing. He was raised in a youth home. He went to the military. And after the military, he gets into food marketing and he becomes a VP at Frito-Lay. Now, our story starts in the late 1950s. And like all good stories, it starts with a visit to Disneyland at Anaheim because that’s where all great stories start. Dave Young: So Arch goes to Disneyland. Stephen Semple: So Arch goes to Disneyland. And in Disneyland, there’s a restaurant called Casa de Fritos, which of course has been created. I don’t know if it’s still there, but at the time Casa de Fritos, which was basically created for distributing Frito’s products. It’s like this made up Mexican restaurant in the international food area of Disneyland. And remember, this is the ’50s. Dave Young: So Frito’s was in existence. Stephen Semple: Yes. Fritos was in existence. Dave Young: The little curly corn chip thingies. Stephen Semple: Correct. That was in existence. Dave Young: So I keep thinking like Lay’s Corporation- Stephen Semple: Frito-Lay had already merged at this point. Dave Young: So Frito became Frito-Lay? Stephen Semple: Yep. So it was Frito-Lay, wasn’t part of Pepsi yet, but it was Frito-Lay. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And they had this restaurant in Disneyland called Casa De Fritos for distributing Frito products. And as I said, it’s this made up Mexican restaurant, because remember this is the 50s in Disneyland. So how authentic is it? Probably not at all. Dave Young: Probably had Speedy Gonzalez and his friends. Stephen Semple: Right- Dave Young: … Taking orders. Sure. Stephen Semple: As you can imagine. But as the story goes, what was happening was they were throwing out … At the end of the day, if tortillas were left over, they were throwing them out. And a Mexican delivery guy said, “You shouldn’t be throwing these things out. You should cut them up and deep-fry them and serve them as tortilla chips.” Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So Arch tastes these tortilla chips and he was like, “Wow, these have a really interesting flavor.” And he thinks to himself, I think there’s an untapped opportunity here and we can make something of this. So first he’s got to sell the ideas to his bosses. So Arch West makes a presentation to the executives and they’ll look at him and say, “Yeah, leave development to R&D. They create the stuff you sell it.” Dave Young: Stay in your lane, buddy. Stephen Semple: Stay in your lane, buddy. Now remember I said at the beginning, Arch is a risk-taker and has the heart of an entrepreneur? So what does Arch do with this no? Dave Young: I mean, he’s going to take them home and fry them. I don’t know. Stephen Semple: Yeah, he ignores it. He takes some discretionary funds that he has and he applies them to developing the chip. Dave Young: Okay. Good for Arch. Stephen Semple: He does this for three years. Dave Young: Three years- Stephen Semple: … Inside of Frito-Lay, he’s developing these chips with these discretionary funds for three years because he can’t make them the way they made them in the restaurant because it’s got to be shelf stable. So there’s kind of a bit of a challenge to making them. So after three years, he creates this secret shelf staple tortilla that he now has to get approved by the bosses, the very same bosses who three years ago told him, stick in his lane that he’s used company funds to develop. Dave Young: Oh, Arch, I love you. Stephen Semple: Right. Do you see why I believe this story deserved to be here? So he has this plan to convince bosses. He arranges to have the chips secretly supplied to the bosses before the meeting and he arrives late on purpose because he figures they’ll all try them. And his hope is, well, they better like them. Dave Young: They better like them. Yeah. Stephen Semple: So it turns out the board likes them. And at this point, he already has a name for them because he wanted it to sound like something easy and he wanted to have this foreign feeling. And he also liked this idea of combining Fritos and Cheetos because Cheetos had already been out there. So Fritos, Cheetos, Doritos. Dave Young: Doritos. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And they decide to launch it. So they launch it in 1966. Doritos is launched and it’s the only tortilla chip around. And the Baby Boomers are coming of age. They want to market this chip to the Baby Boomers. So if you’re going to market to it, what do you call it? You call it the With It Chip. This is the With It Chip because that’s the with it generation. Dave Young: Because it’s with it. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So just tell people it’s with it and it’ll all work out because they’ll all think it’s hip and cool. Dave Young: Yeah. I can see that happen. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Bombed- Dave Young: … Calling it riz. Stephen Semple: Yeah, it bombed because here’s the problem. The chips were plain and chips at the time are used for dipping and dips were popular at parties, but that was with the Boomers’ parents, not the kids. So it was not so with it actually. Turns out to be not with it at all. So there was this great disconnect because the kids are like, “We don’t do dip.” The parents were the ones doing dip and the parents didn’t want to do … It was this complete failure in terms of positioning. So around this time, Wayne Calloway joins the company. Wayne doesn’t see that product as a failure because he looks at it and he says, “Look, here’s the problem. Boomers don’t want to use it as a dip, but they still want the flavor, so we need to add flavor.” And around this time- Dave Young: “We need to make the dip into a powder and apply it to the chips.” Stephen Semple: Right. And around this time, Frito-Lay had been investing tons of money into food science. And there was this new emerging technology called gas chromatography, which basically breaks down the elements so you can figure out how to make an artificial powdered form of things. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So after months of experiments, the team presents a range of options. So they now have to choose a flavor. And here’s how they looked at things. And this is the other reason why I think there’s great lessons here, because we always talk about looking around the world for ideas. Taco Bell had come on the scene around this time and was growing really, really quickly and was super popular. When Taco Bell first came out, it exploded. So the first flavor they looked at was … Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: Taco Bell had come on the scene around this time and was growing really, really quickly and was super popular. When Taco Bell first came out, it exploded. So the first flavor they looked at was taco flavor. Dave Young: Okay. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Because they’re like, “Well, look, there’s this thing going on over here.” Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And it sells well, but they’re still not completely satisfied. So what they noticed was as Mexican food is growing, they noticed that nachos are starting to become a common restaurant idea. Dave Young: Yeah. And that’s just cheese. There’s no such thing as nacho cheese. It’s just cheese. Stephen Semple: It’s just cheese. So in 1972, they launch nacho flavored Doritos and in the first year, sales rise $60 million on the back of that. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So West gets promoted, Calloway’s now President. Dave Young: What year? Stephen Semple: That was 1972. Dave Young: ’72. Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So West gets promoted. Calloway’s now President. And the other thing, trend that’s going on U.S. is in the 1970s, vacationing in Mexico becomes really popular. It’s happening in record numbers and Mexican restaurant chains are popping up all over the place because people experience Mexican food, want to have it at home. And what’s really popping up? Guacamole. Big trend is guacamole. So they decide they need to create a restaurant style chip for dipping. Isn’t it interesting now we’re going back to dipping? Dave Young: Now we’re going back to the dips because people love this guacamole. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So dipping is back. And so what they do is they create Tostitos, a restaurant style chip for dipping and guacamole. And in less than a year, they do $140 million in sales and it’s the most successful product in Frito-Lay history. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: The other fun thing they do is in 1986, they create a flavor for Doritos called Cool Ranch flavor. And the only reason why I love sharing this is this has a really funny circular story because they came across this ranch dressing from this little tiny company called Hidden Valley. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: And they looked at that flavor and they went, “That’d be a great flavor for the Doritos.” And they just called it Cool Ranch Rather than Ranch. And it was another home run, $120 million in the first year, but it worked out so well that it actually inspired Hidden Valley to take their product national. Dave Young: Oh, wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: So it was like Doritos discovered from Hidden Valley, sold all this stuff. Cool Ranch became so popular that Hidden Valley went, “Wait a minute, we could do this salad dressing now nationwide.” And in 1990, Doritos becomes the most popular chip in the world with a billion dollars in sales. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So while it was already a big company well established, I still kind of felt like there was a cool little story in there because again, it was about … They’d be looking out and looking at these trends and going, “Well, let’s tap into this trend. Let’s tap into this trend. Let’s tap into this trend,” while it was in the food space, it wasn’t in the snack space. So it was still an industry beside them. I have to admire his chutzpah of being told no and then taking company discretionary funds and basically spending three years developing the product right under their noses. Dave Young: Yeah, definitely an entrepreneurial streak in there. Stephen Semple: Yeah, no [inaudible 00:13:56]. Dave Young: Well, cool. I’m glad I know all this now. Back in the day, I started eating those chips right when they first came out, Stephen, I’m pretty sure. Stephen Semple: Yeah. The other part I found interesting on it was that, again, this whole idea of, let’s call it the With It chip and thinking just by saying that, that that’s enough. And then on top of that, having a product that was also completely out of sync with the market that you were trying to go to because it had to be dipped and their target market was not dipping. It was their parents that was dipping. I just found that so interesting that there was that much of a disconnect in terms of, “Well, let’s just call it, let’s just call … Our socioeconomic studies say this, so let’s just call it that and we’ll make it so.” And we see that so often as a mistake in marketing where it’s like, no, you actually have to freaking understand your customer and not just from, “Oh, they’re 26 years old and they drop …” How do they think? How do they behave? How do they act? Where are they consuming? Oh, they consume. Oh, they consume the product while at the beach. Okay. Well, they’re not freaking taking dip. Dave Young: Right, right. Stephen Semple: Right. It was such a miss and so typical of how a lot of companies look at things when they put together their marketing plan. Dave Young: Here’s the thing. People were starting long distance cross country road trips too. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Man, it’s hard to eat. It’s hard to eat chips and dips while you’re driving. Stephen Semple: Not happening. Dave Young: You can eat a bag of Doritos all day long behind the wheel of a car and stop and get another [inaudible 00:15:28]. Stephen Semple: So I also have to give credit to Wayne Calloway that he came along and saw that disconnect. He said, “No, this is a great product, but here’s the disconnect. The disconnect is not that the product isn’t great. The disconnect is people aren’t going to dip it. That’s the disconnect.” But then to later notice that dip is coming back, because it’ll be easy to go with dip is out, later noticing dip coming back in the form of guacamole and saying, “Hey, in fact, let’s go back to really what the original Dorito was, which was this unflavored tortilla that you could use for dipping.” It’s kind of funny that it went full circle. Dave Young: But even so, like my parents, because they were of the dipper generation, had a recipe for chili cheese dip that you would use with the nacho cheese Doritos. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Okay. Dave Young: It was really good. Stephen Semple: All right. All right. Dave Young: Not so much if you’re driving. Stephen Semple: But you were a very sophisticated family having something like that. Dave Young: Well, yeah. Absolutely. Stephen Semple: So again, I just thought it was an interesting story. And again, one of those ones, keeping your eye out, looking a little bit outside of your industry, because all of these ideas came from trends they saw in the restaurant industry, not the snack food industry. Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Good observations. Well, thank you. Now I know a lot more about Doritos and Tostitos and why I don’t dip anymore. Stephen Semple: And it’s funny when you think about the recent Doritos advertising, when you talk about your mom making the comment, Doritos now runs a lot of ads where they don’t even use the word Doritos in the ad. They just show the triangle. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And as soon as you show that triangle, what do we all think? Dave Young: That’s classic brand code. Stephen Semple: Right. Yes. Dave Young: McDonald’s is doing that. They’re just either using- Stephen Semple: The arches. Dave Young: Yeah. Just the arch or- Stephen Semple: Or even a piece of the arch. Dave Young: And then just the sound, just ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. That’s it. Once you get into empire territory, you can start doing fun things like that. Stephen Semple: Yep. And really own the mind and really own the space. Hats off to the host of Frito-Lay in terms of the stuff that happened over there. And I just, again, didn’t exactly fit our stuff, but I thought it did enough just because of the craziness. So that happened inside the company. Dave Young: I’m down for a fun story about business and food. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Rebels inside the four walls. Dave Young: That’s right. Thanks, Stephen. Stephen Semple: All right. Thanks, David.

Southeastern 16's Graham Doty and Chris Lee preview Georgia baseball for the 2026 season. Topics include: Coach Wes Johnson had the Bulldogs No. 1 in the country for a brief period last season, and led them to a national seed. He'll build for 2026 with the same transfer-heavy approach that got Georgia here a year ago. Returnee Tre Phelps has huge upside and returns after a disappointing 2025 campaign. Starters Kolby Branch and part-timers Daniel Jackson and Ryan Black are also back. Johnson added a ton of experienced bats that include Scott Newman, Ryan Wynn, Rylan Lujo, Michael O'Shaughnessy, Jordy Orlach, Bryce Calloway, Jack Arcamone, Cole Koniarsky, Kenny Ishikawa and others. Talented transfers Caden Aoki, Joey Volchko and Matt Scott shoud throw a lot of innings. Transfers Ishikawa, Thomas Ellisen, Brad Pruett, Dylan Vigue, Teddy Brennan, Calloway and Andrew Behnke should also have roles. Returnees Justin Byrd, Jordan Stephens, Zach Brown and Paul Farley should also see roles. &COLLAR Stretchy. Wrinkle-proof. Built to look sharp. Welcome to Workleisure.

Cabell Calloway III (December 25, 1907 – November 18, 1994) was an American jazz singer, songwriter and bandleader. He was a regular performer at the Cotton Club in Harlem, where he became a popular vocalist of the swing era. His niche of mixing jazz and vaudeville won him acclaim during a career that spanned over 65 years.[2]Calloway was a master of energetic scat singing and led one of the most popular dance bands in the United States from the early 1930s to the late 1940s. His band included trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie, Jonah Jones, and Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham, saxophonists Ben Webster and Leon "Chu" Berry, guitarist Danny Barker, bassist Milt Hinton, and drummer Cozy Cole.[3]Calloway had several hit records in the 1930s and 1940s, becoming the first African-American musician to sell one million copies of a record. He became known as the "Hi-de-ho" man of jazz for his most famous song, "Minnie the Moocher", originally recorded in 1931. He reached the Billboard charts in five consecutive decades (1930s–1970s).[4] Calloway also made several stage, film, and television appearances. He had roles in Stormy Weather (1943), Porgy and Bess (1953), The Cincinnati Kid (1965), and Hello Dolly! (1967). In the 1980s, Calloway enjoyed a marked career resurgence following his appearance in the musical comedy film The Blues Brothers (1980).Calloway was the first African-American to have a nationally syndicated radio program.[5] In 1993, Calloway received the National Medal of Arts from the United States Congress.[6] He posthumously received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. His song "Minnie the Moocher" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, and added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry in 2019.[7] In 2022, the National Film Registry selected his home films for preservation as "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant films".[8] He was inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame and the International Jazz Hall of Fame.PICTURE: By William P.

Send us a textEver wondered how true American humor differs from its European counterparts? Clay Calloway joins the Wild West Podcast to reveal the secrets behind genuine frontier storytelling through his introduction to "The Legends of Dodge City: The Enterprise." Calloway's masterful analysis connects human anatomy to narrative structure, using the "funny bone" as a metaphor for how great stories deliver their impact. Unlike the immediate burst of a comic tale, true American humor bubbles along gently before delivering a lingering intellectual jolt. The distinction lies not in content but in delivery – grave, wandering, and punctuated by powerful pauses.The conversation reveals how Dodge City wasn't born from traditional city planning but from entrepreneurs who "simply uncorked a barrel of whiskey, pitched a tent, and laid down a few boards." This reckless pursuit of profit created a legendary legacy that outlasted both the mighty buffalo herds and the whiskey that once flowed freely through its streets. Calloway's introduction frames the book's approach to telling the stories of Dodge City's founders with authentic frontier humor.Drawing from the ancient theory of the four humors, Calloway creates a fascinating framework for understanding different storytelling temperaments. This classification system reveals that genuine humor isn't born from pure levity but emerges from understanding life's contradictions and absurdities. As he notes with philosophical insight, "There is no laughter in heaven because there is nothing to laugh at" – humor serves as our weapon against life's hardships.Join us for this captivating episode that offers not just a preview of an exciting new book but a masterclass in the art of storytelling.

Send us a textWhat does it really take to chase country music dreams while keeping your life in balance? In this heartfelt conversation with rising country artist Trey Calloway, we pull back the curtain on the realities of the Nashville music scene and the personal sacrifices that come with pursuing passion.Trey opens up about his latest single "She Don't Break It," co-written with legendary songwriter Terry McBride (known for hits with Brooks & Dunn and George Strait) and produced by Brandon Hood, whom Trey describes as "Nashville's best kept secret." The song represents Trey's commitment to authentic country music that connects immediately with audiences—"By the second or third chorus, they're singing along with it," he shares.The most compelling moments come when Trey reveals the personal challenges of his musical journey. Unlike many artists who move to Nashville in their youth, Trey arrived in his late twenties—"past the ego stuff, past the drinking and partying." Now he navigates a complex life triangle between Nashville (where he works), South Carolina (where his wife lives), and his hometown (where his son lives). "It's been tough," he admits, "but we're closer than we've ever been."With refreshing honesty, Trey discusses the balance between ambitious dreams and practical planning: "If I don't make it in the music business, I'm going to start a restaurant down at the beach." His journey reminds us that behind every song on the radio is a real person making real sacrifices, finding joy in the creative process, and holding onto what matters most along the way.Whether you're a country music fan or simply appreciate stories of passion and perseverance, Trey's insights offer a genuine glimpse into the heart of a working musician chasing dreams while keeping his feet firmly planted on the ground.

"Failure to progress in labor. " Can we all agree this is a horrible name and can impact someone's view of their ability to give birth! For years, birthing people have been expected to follow “Freidman's Curve” a standard set by a trial of only 500 participants conducted nearly 50 years ago. Recently, ACOG has set new standards. Unfortunately many hospitals and practices have been slow to put these new standards into practice. In this episode of Yoga|Birth|Babies, I am thrilled to bring back board-certified, practicing OB/GYN and mom of 2, Dr. Nicole Calloway Rankins to discuss the parameters of “Failure to progress” and it's impact unplanned cesareans. Nicole lays out what is considered “normal labor” and why it's important not jump to declaring arrested labor before active labor starts at 6cm. She also shares factors that may be influencing longer labors and strategies care providers, nurses, and doulas have to help labor progress.  Resources: Due Dates & Induction with Dr. Nicole Calloway Rankins The Peanut Ball and the Pelvis with Cheri Grant The Peanut Ball Lady The VBAC Link The VBAC Calculator Get the most out of each episode by checking out the show notes with links, resources and other related podcasts at: prenatalyogacenter.com Don't forget to grab your FREE guide, 5 Simple Solutions to the Most Common Pregnancy Pains HERE  If you love what you've been listening to, please leave a rating and review!

On the forty- third episode of ATFT, actress/ producer Michelle Calloway and movie critic Matthieu Côté join me in celebrating Angelina Jolie for her 50th birthday!Angelina Jolie is one of the most globally beloved movie stars of our time with people admiring her through her iconic public image evolution from being the “wild child” to a humanitarian and mother. She hit the ground running in the late 90s by earning three Golden Globes and an Academy Award for her performance as Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted. She established herself as an action star by playing the titular character in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. While many know her from her action films, she quietly has built up a versatile filmography with many of her best films being hidden gems. Her brilliant and emotionally- charged dramatic talents are overshadowed by the celebrity attention she has received and being one of the most beautiful women on the planet. If her success in film isn't enough reason to celebrate her, she's a humanitarian who served for ten years as a Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. She has also been an advocate for women as her health- focused op- eds inspired women, leading for the sort- of movement as “The Angelina Effect”. She has been an inspiration to me for several years but her global impact has remained strong for over two decades.This is Michelle's second time on the podcast while this is Matthieu's third time! This episode came together rapidly and the version everyone will hear is probably Plan E. Plans were set for months to have on a returning guest to discuss Angelina but she, unfortunately, became a no- show. It would have been easier to have cancelled this episode but I didn't want to because Angelina has had such an impact on me since I was about 18 years old and this was a great opportunity to honor her. I am incredibly grateful to Matthieu and Michelle for saving this episode! Michelle is planning a second Filmmaker Forum for August this year! The date has yet to be set but the first one, which took place in March, was a major success and incredibly informative so if you're in the Jacksonville area, stay tuned for more information by following @michellecalloway on Instagram!

Angelina's films from Hackers to Maria are discussed with only a few omissions, like Beyond Borders. We share our first memories of Angelina and our five favorite Angelina films. For one section of the episode, I talked about three Angelina films I especially wanted to highlight. Matthieu and I discuss his favorite Angelina film, By the Sea, at length while Michelle shares which filmmaker she hopes Angelina will work with someday.

Send us a textWhat happens when you take 300-year-old French oak trees selected for Notre Dame Cathedral's restoration and turn them into bourbon barrels? Dan Calloway and Pete Marino of Bardstown Bourbon Company join us to reveal the remarkable story behind their Cathedral French Oak Barrel Finish - a whiskey that connects French architectural history with Kentucky distilling expertise."The cardinal sin we broke on barrel aging is you never really want to double barrel old bourbon because it'd be too dry, too tannic," explains Calloway. Yet this risk produced something extraordinary - a blend of Kentucky bourbons up to 19 years old, finished for 14 months in just six precious barrels made from the same oak chosen to repair one of the world's most iconic cathedrals.The conversation goes deeper than just this special release. We explore Bardstown Bourbon Company's meteoric rise in the whiskey world, their philosophy of transparency and collaboration, and how they balance contract distillation with distinctive brand development. NFL legend Jared Allen even calls in to discuss the bourbon landscape and what makes Bardstown's approach unique.Throughout our discussion, the themes of innovation and quality shine through. "The formula for our success is a combination of incredible people who are deeply passionate about what they do," Marino shares, "and we've got an ownership group and a leadership team that are not afraid to take chances and do crazy things." This mindset has propelled Bardstown from industry newcomer to respected innovator in just a decade.We conclude with a comprehensive tasting of the Cathedral Oak itself, exploring its complex profile of the three classic Kentucky bourbon tasting notes with dark fruits and the perfect balance between wood influence and sweetness. For whiskey lovers seeking something truly special, this rare expression represents bourbon at its most innovative and historically significant.Grab a glass and join us for this fascinating exploration of whiskey craftsmanship where French history meets Kentucky spirit!
