This week we welcome Old Forester Master Taster, Melissa Rift to the show! We talk about what brought her to Old Forester and her whiskey journey, all while sipping on some delicious 117 Series, Bottled in Bond whiskey! She tells us about what goes into the creation of each 117 Series offering, the role she plays in its production and what she has in store for us in the future.
