Description
We are SO excited to welcome Brand Ambassador (and Family Legacy) Joann Street for a Bourbon tasting & educational experience through the legendary Wild Turkey family of brands. This is an exclusive event you don't want to miss. Your ticket includes a welcome drink upon arrival and a guided tasting of 4 select pours followed by Q & A for Joann. This will be held in our carriage house.
Curious about Joann? Check out her bio below and you'll understand why we are so excited!
When the "Buddha of Bourbon"- Jimmy Russell - is your grandfather, it's not a stretch to imagine a career working in the family business. Growing up in Nashville, Tennessee, JoAnn's first bourbon-centric memory was attending conventions with Mimmy (a nickname Jimmy's grandchildren use) at a young age. Like her grandfather, uncle Eddie and cousin Bruce before her, a career in bourbon was her calling.
After graduating from University of Kentucky, JoAnn started her career in American Whiskey as a tour guide at the Wild Turkey Visitor Center, learning the meticulous craft of whiskey-making from the ground up like her forefathers before her. As her passion for the craft increased and American Whiskey cemented itself as the spirit du jour, JoAnn segued her role into one that afforded her more personal interaction and engagement with the bourbon community at large.
As a brand ambassador, Street's role encompasses the Wild Turkey, Russell's Reserve and Wilderness Trail portfolio of bourbons and ryes. JoAnn spends her time traveling the country and providing education on what makes the brands so special. She has inherited the famous Russell family passion, humor and wit, and thrives when she is talking about her favorite topic - whiskey.
Cheers!
