Episode Description from the Publisher

This week on The Whiskey Trip, O'l Big Chief sits down with Monica Wolf, CEO of The Blending House, and Matt King, Director of Operations, for a conversation about bourbon, family, craftsmanship, and legacy.   For Monica, bourbon is part of her family story. She's carrying forward the legacy of her father and a rich history in the bourbon industry, while continuing to put her own mark on that story. Matt's journey is different. He's building a legacy of his own, using his talents, hard work, and passion for bourbon to help shape what comes next at The Blending House.   On the first half, the trio kick off the Whiskey Trip with E.J. Curley Small Batch Bourbon before moving on to E.J. Curley Single Barrel Bourbon. As the glasses are passed around, Monica talks about her father, her family's history in bourbon, and what it means to carry that legacy forward while continuing to write her own chapter.   On the second half, Big Chief, Monica, and Matt keep the conversation rolling with Ten Runner Bourbon before finishing the trip with 31 Lengths Bourbon. Matt shares more about his journey and what it means to build a name and legacy of his own in an industry where history, tradition, relationships, and craftsmanship mean so much.   This week's giveaway is something special. One lucky winner will receive a bottle of E.J. Curley Single Barrel Bourbon, a The Whiskey Trip rocks glass, and an incredible custom copper bottle thief handcrafted by Matt King himself. It's a unique piece made by one of this week's guests and a perfect reminder of the craftsmanship behind this episode.   It's two different journeys coming together at The Blending House: Monica carrying forward a family legacy and Matt creating one of his own. Sometimes the Whiskey Trip is about honoring the legacy handed down to you. Sometimes it's about building one that others will remember.   Pour yourself something good and join O'l Big Chief, Monica Wolf, and Matt King for this week's episode of The Whiskey Trip.   Take the Ride.
