TEAM BOURBONS

Founder John Morrison, Manager Margot McMillen, Founder Jason Brauner, Executive Chef Jereme McFarland


...it all started with Bourbons Bistro. Without Bourbons Bistro anchoring bourbon’s core market, there’s a strong chance Kentucky’s largest city would never have been motivated to support bourbon.
— Fred Minnick (Wall Street Journal-Bestselling Author, Bourbon Curator & Taster)

This year, Lunacy Productions traveled to Newport, KY, where we were fortunate to participate in what is usually a rare opportunity: picking out a barrel of small batch Kentucky bourbon. In this video, sommelier John H. Johnson, restaurant owner Jason Brauner, musician Ben Sollee & our very own Stu Pollard, filmmaker extraordinaire, take you behind the scenes of the process at New Riff Distilling.
