Yeah, some of you might know, but the way Jordan, me, and Nick met each other was by playing the saxophone.

So all three of us.

And all three of you play the saxophone?

Now, that's a trio I'd like to see there.

On tour.

You might want to see it, but you're not going to want to hear it.

This is Bourbon Pursuit, the official podcast of Bourbon, bringing to you the best in news, reviews, and interviews with people making the bourbon whiskey industry happen,

and I'm one of your host, Kenny Coleman.

This is Bourbon Community Roundtable number 87, and this one dives into a single topic that has kind of perplexed me over the past few months.

It seems that there's only a handful of brands that people talk about, yet there's over

2,000 distilleries now across the United States.

I would like to think that the stigma of craft is beginning to change, but my newsfeed

tells me differently because it's always looking at pictures of the same select few.

So what makes us always gravitate to the Big Six?

Or perhaps maybe we should refer to it as the Big Seven now.

Is it accessibility because it's either on the shelf or could be on your shelf, pending

allocation?

Is it marketing and how the big brands can throw their weight around at the distributor level?

Or is Big Bourbon just better than craft?

Enjoyed this week's episode, and now here's Fred Minnick with Above the Char.
