Meet Kenny Coleman, host of the Bourbon Pursuit podcast. He and his partners have grown in experience and notoriety over the last several years. After trying almost everyone else’s bourbon, they decided to create their own blends. As they say on pursuitspirits.com “For us, it was searching for rare whiskey and seeking out the people and stories behind every great bottle. After years of interviews, we learned that memories aren’t created by what’s inside the bottle, but by those who enjoy it together. This inspired us to write our own story. Our pursuit led us to hand select every barrel and bottle it completely untouched. Every barrel chosen is unique, developing its own narrative that becomes an episode in the series. This pursuit is for you.” For more of their adventures in whiskey, follow their show on Bourbon Pursuit on your podcast platform of choice.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theloureview/support
