After the IJO Louisville Conference, Punchmark co-hosted a fun two-day event through Kentucky's Bourbon Trail. There were tours of four bourbon distilleries, as we rode on a bus through bourbon country, enjoying each other's company, and, of course, tasting some bourbon.

Hosted By:

Jim Messier, owner of Arthur's Jewelry

Here is Jim, relaxing in Pappy Van Winkle's office, sipping a 22-year glass of Blade and Bow. This entire event was Jim's idea, as he has vowed to never miss an opportunity to enjoy bourbon with friends.
