The Barons of Bourbon

Bar-on, \ˈber-ən \, noun: a man who possess great power or influence in some field of activity.What does it take to be a Baron of Bourbon? If you are Elmer T. Lee of Buffalo Trace, it means you put in the better part of six decades learning the ins and outs of the business before getting a bourbon named in your honor, and still find the passion and drive to inspect several warehouses of bourbon at age 89. If you are Jimmy Russell of Wild Turkey it means having half a century’s worth of experience in the industry under your belt, long overdue on much needed rest, yet deciding instead to get on a plane and circle t...

Godfathers of the Amber World

Talk about hard to believe. Imagine Steve Jobs pulling a PC out of his briefcase. Or the CEO of Ford Motor Co. driving up to a board meeting in a spanking new Camaro.

The holiday season has arrived and the frost is on the pumpkin. It’s a time for observance of religions, giving thanks, family traditions, snowy white snow and jingle bells, visions of sugar plum fairies, and the highest suicide rate of the year. It’s also a time for excesses—in gifts, in parties, in food and drink.I enjoy the food and drink aspect of the season. The turkey and the trimmings…the candied sweet potatoes…the wassail bowl…the bread pudding (with bourbon, of course)… and Kentucky’s famous contribution to obesity, chocolate bourbon balls. The holidays wouldn’t be ...
