Warrior Honor Cruise and J. Mattingly 1845 collaboration

In this onsite live episode Willis and Gunny are on location at J. Mattingly 1845 distillery for the bourbon release of Warrior Honor Cruise's bourbon blend and bottle. We talk with the board members and wife about Warrior Honor Cruise about what they do for Purple Heart Veterans and the families. We also talk with Todd from J Mattingly distillery about working with veteran non profits and what it means for them. The Warriors Honor Cruise is dedicated to honoring and supporting our nation’s Purple Heart recipients. We strive to provide these brave individuals with a well-deserved break from their daily challenges through a rejuvenating cruise experience. We aim to create a supportive and relaxing environment where veterans can connect, heal, and enjoy quality time with their loved ones. By offering this unique opportunity, we express our deepest gratitude for their service and sacrifice, ensuring they know they are not forgotten. For almost two centuries, the name Mattingly has been synonymous with world-class bourbon and innovation. John Graves Mattingly (1823-1910) was responsible for perfecting the now famous column still used by the greatest bourbon producers in the world to provide a more continuous process to satisfy the growing demand of his customers. Now, Jeff Mattingly, a sixth generation descendent of John Graves Mattingly, has created and perfected the first of its kind custom bourbon blending process at his new distillery in Frankfort, KY that allows guests to not only blend their personal bottle from multiple "Double Staved" proprietary barrels selected by the Mattingly team of master blenders, but also choose their bottle, label, closure (including various wax colors or a wood cork) and their own personal name for their creation. If you can't visit us in Frankfort, the J. Mattingly family is offering you the opportunity to customize your own personal bottle of world class, double staved Bourbon or Rye whiskey for yourself or to give as a gift.
