Changes Coming to the Kentucky Bourbon Festival

The Kentucky Bourbon Festival gets underway next week in
Bardstown, and while the annual event still draws whiskey lovers
from all over the U.S. and the world, there's been a lot of calls
for change in recent years. Some of those changes are coming this
year, while more will await the hiring of a new executive
director later this year. Bardstown-Nelson County Tourism
Commission executive director Mike Mangeot agreed to serve as the
festival's director on an interim basis this year, and joins us
on WhiskyCast In-Depth to discuss this year's event and the
long-term future. We're in Louisville this time around for the
inaugural induction of members into the Order of the Writ, and
will have the latest on the impact of trade tariffs on distillers
in the news. We'll also update the future for Isle of Arran
Distillers and its brands now that the Pernod Ricard-Castle
Brands deal is leaving Arran without a U.S. importer.
