It’s a Wrap! A Fantastic Season Three Shoot in Beautiful Kentucky

Kentucky! We have had the absolute BEST time with you this week! Holy moly!

So we’ve just wrapped up our latest episode shoot here in the beautiful Bluegrass State, which has once again firmly cemented its position as one of our favorite, favorite places in the world. This whole week’s been packed plum full of beautiful landscapes, beautiful people, the sweet sweet sound of bluegrass music and of course lots and lots of legendary bourbon. What a time!
Y’all check out some of the latest pics from our shoot, along with a little info about each. Good stuff.  And our heartfelt thanks to the good folks here who have always made us feel so warm and welcome. Cheers y’all!

Can’t wait to share this episode with everybody. Look for it in season three next spring! Be sure to follow along for updates!
Headed back home for a few short days, then another big adventure awaits. So! Y’all have a great week! Talk at you soon!

Love this guy! Had the pleasure of meeting and talking with the master distiller at Jim Beam, Fred Noe, a few times over the years. About the nicest man you’ll ever meet. Proud of his bourbon and his town!
