Episode 56 - What Happened in Daniel’s Truck?!

For Episode 56 of The Local Pour, we’re recapping Daniel & James’ latest Kentucky adventure — from distillery stops and stories from the road to a little “cargo loss” involving some Whiskey Thief Distilling Co. whiskey in Daniel’s truck. 🥃😂We talked about all four stops from the last 2 trips, behind-the-scenes moments that didn’t make the videos, and whatever chaos was happening during filming around the PorchFest episode. Plus, Daniel dropped some life advice for the week: “Just make sure it’s actually Wells Fargo calling you.” 😅 And yes… we poured some Whiskey Thief on the show — or at least what survived the ride home. A laid-back episode full of road stories, laughs, and good pours. Cheers! 🥃
