<p dir="ltr">In our latest episode of the Bourbon Lens, Jake travels to Bardstown to sit down with John Rempe, Master Distiller of Lux Row. During the interview the distillery was electric as their Front Row members were awaiting some of the first sips of the new <a href= "https://bourbonlens.com/blood-oath-pact-11/">Blood Oath Pact 11 release</a>. Our conversation centered around the new bourbon finished in anejo Tequila barrels. However, there is a lot happening at the distillery as they continue to become a household name across the world. Sit back and buckle in for the latest episode of the Bourbon Lens.</p> <p><a href="https://podnews.net/podcast/ie6v/listen" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Stream this episode on your favorite podcast app and be sure to drop us a review while you’re there. </strong></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are thankful for your support over the last 6 years.
