Bourbon & Brushes isn’t just a podcast—it’s a cross-country cocktail experience.
We’re hitting the road to uncover the rich stories behind America’s most iconic spirit: bourbon. From the barrel to the barstool, we take you inside local distilleries, sit down with master distillers and bartenders, talk to distributors who keep the shelves stocked, and raise a glass with everyday folks who love a good pour.
Each episode, we craft a custom smoked Old Fashioned that captures the flavor of a specific city or state—using regional bourbon, handcrafted syrups from local fruits and spices, and wood chips from native trees for that perfect smoky finish.
It’s part travel show, part mixology masterclass, and all heart.
So whether you’re a seasoned bourbon lover or just love a good story told over a drink, join us as we blend tradition, innovation, and a little smoke. This is Bourbon & Brushes—where every drink is a destination, and every destination has a story to tell.
