Here’s some information…. “Founded in 1997, Jefferson’s is the brainchild of Trey Zoeller and his father Chet, a famed bourbon historian.

Read more "Review: Pearse Lyons Reserve"A few years ago when we were touring a bunch of distilleries in Kentucky, Willett was one of the ones we hit up and really enjoyed.

Read more "Review: Maker’s Mark"When we visited Colorado last fall for our “beercation” we stopped in on a few distilleries to see what Colorado had going on.
