James B. Beam Institute for Kentucky Spirits

Another groundbreaking project.

Without amazing industry professionals willing to share their knowledge (and in this case also their bourbon), the Distillation, Wine and Brewing Studies Certificate at UK would be missing out. Thank you to Herb Heneman, The Bardstown Bourbon Company and all the other industry experts that are giving their time and resources to prepare our students for future success in the "real world." https://lnkd.in/eZDwgnW2

Great work, Tyler Barzee https://lnkd.in/gfUV4aQz

Our Estate Whiskey Alliance friends recently spoke on a podcast about the Estate Whiskey Alliance, the University of Kentucky's efforts to support agriculture, whiskey, bourbon, tech transfer and to train the next generation of distillation professionals. Great job, Landon Borders and Alexa Narel, MBA! https://lnkd.in/eq3C4Sis

Congratulations to our friends Joseph & Joseph Architects for this amazing honor. We are so lucky we get to work in this beautiful space every day!
