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, Arthur's Jewelry
Chief Bourbon Officer (CBO)
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.
Ross Cockerham, Punchmark
VP of Sour, Mash & Mischief
Here is Ross, at the Maker's Mark distillery on a group run event called The Bourbon Chase. Ross is Jim's assistant, helping to organize and coordinate this event, and to sip bourbon when necessary.
