Behind The Pursuit: The Mellwood Legacy Collection
Subscribe to Behind The Pursuit: From Bourbon to Brand
Building on the history surrounding Mellwood that we dove into on Episode 66, today we are talking about the upcoming Mellwood Legacy Collection release which pays homage to the historic Mellwood Distillery. We recap a bit of the history of the distillery, the creative process behind the new labels, and the unique offerings of the Derby Town and Old Anvil labels. The conversation also touches on the current state of the whiskey market and the opportunities for independent bottlers. While a press release isn't out yet on these, we wanted to give you a peek behind the curtain of what to expect.
We hit on:
An overview of the Mellwood Distillery history and reasoning behind the Mellwood Legacy Collection
The new labels kicking off the Mellwood Legacy Collection
How the blending approached is different from Pursuit United
The estimated launch date of the Mellwood Legacy Collection
and much more.

487 - Making Bartenders Fans of Your Brand with Lindsey Johnson of Camp Runamok
A lot of distributors tell us that brands are built behind the bar. To a degree that is true. These folks are on the front lines making drinks and have to be knowledgeable about what they are creating. Yet, a bartenders job is high stress and they don't get a chance to get immersed in a brand so that's where Camp Runamok comes in. We're joined by Lindsey Johnson who manages this fantasy camp for bartenders. Bartenders from around the country write essays like they are filing a college application to be accepted into a week of events with Camp Runamok. We talk about what benefits there are for both sides when it comes to the campers and the brands who support it.
