Listening to Wes
We share our tasting opinion, but more important, at the end of the review enjoy hearing from Wes himself.
He talks about nearly destroying Brown Forman’s yeast as a a child playing around in the lab with his father, the legendary Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson, one weekend. He talks about his father’s bourbon journey and how that lead them to Angel’s Envy becoming the first finished whiskey in the industry. True Story follows a very similar path.
You might find something very interesting about what else Wes is doing these days, that is not in the whiskey business.
