Jessica entered the bourbon world in 2017 working for Pegasus Distilled - a black car transportation company that offered custom bourbon tours (because the people demanded it). She coordinated custom bourbon tours for individuals and groups, up to 35 custom tours per week. She developed itineraries, booked vehicles, bought tickets, educated, hosted, created unique experiences, put out fires, and made sure people had a “perfect Kentucky day”!

Jessica took a job in 2019 (that was meant to be part-time so she could continue tourism) with Fred Minnick  - best-selling author of Whiskey Women, Bourbon, bourbon curious, rum curious. Co-Founder of Bourbon & Beyond music festival, Spirits critic & judge, etc etc etc he does too much. She started his YouTube, did video editing and production, set up tastings, scheduling, etc etc etc everything else she probably signed an NDA for.

Fred was approached by a recruiter for H&A Barrel Management and he encouraged Jessica to apply. In

July 2020, she took the role of “North America secondary Barrel sales” for H&A Barrel Management so I’ve been living in the barrel finishing world and wine world since then.

We're back after a short break getting some business done. Cody is back from Moonshine University while Mike has had his hands full at the distillery lately. We talk about what's been going on and we visit with Cody's long-time friend, Brandon 'The Photo Bomber' Williams. A man who knows everything and absolutely nothing. He has a keen eye and ear for what-the-fuck news and he smells bullshit before it splashes in the toilet. Brandon joins us remotely from his bathroom and does not disappoint.

We recorded an episode with Paco a while back that was meant to be Episode 3 but things got just a little bit out of hand with the whiskey for everyone involved except for Mike so we decided to try it again. Paco's story is just too incredible and he is involved in far too many wonderful projects to let that be lost in so much whiskeying even if he uses whiskey so effectively to raise funds to make people's lives better.

Besides being a super humble hero, Paco has a large whiskey, guns, and freedom group - @thesinnersclubhq on both Facebook and Instagram. He also founded The Melendez Foundation, a non-profit that specializes in helping the community during times of natural disasters and assisting with educational programs in elementary schools in Puerto Rico. See more about the foundation's work on Facebook @the-melendez-foundation.

And, if you're thinking "The Legend? Who does this guy think he is?" Just listen and get ready to feel like you can do more to help those around you.
