Our whiskey expert, Jason is a Certified Bourbon Steward, recognized by the Stave and Thief Society.
His bourbon collection features over 200 bottles at any given time – hey, you have to drink them too – and he’s constantly on the hunt for bottles of all flavor profiles, proofs, shapes and sizes.
He loves to share his bourbon with friends and looks forward to his next trip to the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky.
Some of his favorite distilleries as of late include Chattanooga Whiskey, the Bardstown Bourbon Company, Old Forester and of course, many offerings from Buffalo Trace.
Jason is always down to have a pour and a good cigar, or talk whiskey, sports or music.
Hit him up directly over at his Instagram, or come on out to the weekly Fireside Chronicles show on the TLA profile.
