Lagralane Spirits is a delicious podcast where we invite you into our living room for a family spirit symposium, a real-talk meeting of the minds over reverent cocktails. Each week we examine an important topic related to identity that not only is about our own history and how we identify, but is also rooted in social issues, historical events and even a little genealogy.
In Season 3, we deep dive into the past, present, and future of the Kentucky Bourbon industry through the lens of the women and people of color who have made Bourbon what it is today. We meet with masters of the craft from renowned distilleries like Woodford Reserve and Castle & Key, to fresh new bourbon-makers like Brough Brothers and Bespoken Spirits.

In this exclusive interview, hear from a multi-faceted entrepreneur who is leading the charge to make the Bourbon industry more diverse and inclusive.
Rob was instrumental in the making of Lagralane Spirits Season 3. He connected us to several incredible guests this season and guided us through Louisville and Lexington’s rich Bourbon culture. We are delighted to pick Rob's brain again. So please pour a glass of your favorite Bourbon and join us LIVE for an illuminating conversation with Rob Beatty.
