Mike loves to try whiskies from all over world whether its something new, allocated, or a budget pick.  Only open bottles here because he believes that the best whiskies are shared with friends and that they are meant to be enjoyed.  Mike is the 2021 winner of Bardstown Bourbon Company's World's Top Whiskey Taster national competition and has a genuine passion for finding that next great whiskey.  He also ran a whiskey club with over 40 members, enjoys sharing whiskey with the community, using spirits to raise money for charity, and has hosted large corporate whiskey tasting events.
