In this episode of The Bourbon Road, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter sit down in Frankfort, Kentucky, with filmmaker and bourbon enthusiast Bo Cumberland. Known to fans of the show and followers of the Bourbon Road Facebook community, Bo is the creative mind behind the documentary Frankfort, Kentucky: The Heart of Bourbon, a project highlighting the deep roots and vibrant community surrounding bourbon in Kentucky’s capital.
Bo shares his personal journey - from his move from Knoxville, Tennessee to Sparta, Kentucky - driven by a passion for bourbon and a desire to immerse himself in the culture and camaraderie that bourbon fosters. The conversation touches on his creative inspirations, the challenges and joys of independent filmmaking, and how the Frankfort Bourbon Society shaped his vision for the documentary.
Listeners will enjoy Bo's down-to-earth perspective on bourbon as more than just a drink - it’s a social connector, a cultural icon, and a personal passion. Whether you're curious about life behind the camera, the storytelling of Kentucky bourbon, or what makes a good pour among friends, this episode is one to savor.
