IT'S NOT A LUXURY, IT IS A
LIFELINE.

NOW SOME STATE
LAWMAKERS ARE HOPING TO TURN A
COMMON PRACTICE INTO LAW TO HELP
PROTECT KENTUCKIANS DURING TIMES
OF EXTREME WEATHER.
>> THESE KENTUCKY MEN WHO ARE
MISSING ARE MISSING BECAUSE
TERRIBLE SERVING THEIR NATION.
OUR NATION IN TURN, OWES A DEBT
TO THESE MEN AND THEIR FAMILIES.
(00:38):
WE TAKE TO YOU
FRANKFORT AS KENTUCKY HONORS ITS
POW AND MIA SERVICE MEMBERS.
>> THE ONLY BOURBON BRAND SOLD
BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER
PROHIBITION.
PLUS WE GO TO
LOUISVILLE TO SEE HOW BOURBON'S
BARREL-AGED HISTORY IS ALSO ITS
FUTURE.

[♪♪]
>> GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO
KENTUCKY EDITION FOR FRIDAY,
SEPTEMBER 19TH.
(01:21):
I'M RENEE SHAW.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
>>> HAVING ELECTRICITY CAN BE
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND
DEATH IN SEVERE WEATHER
SCENARIOS.
ONE LOUISVILLE DEMOCRAT IS
TRYING TO REVIVE A BILL THAT
WOULD PREVENT UTILITY COMPANIES
FROM SHUTTING OFF SOMEONE'S
POWER DURING SEVERE WEATHER DUE
(01:43):
TO UNPAID BILLS.
IN TONIGHT'S LEGISLATIVE UPDATE,
OUR MACKENZIE SPINK HAS MORE ON
THE DISCUSSION FROM THE
COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES
AND ENERGY.
>> IN THIS YEAR'S REGULAR
SESSION, SENATE BILL 73 DIDN'T
MAKE IT OUT OF COMMITTEE.
TO PREPARE THE LEGISLATION FOR
THE 2026 SESSION, THE MEASURE
WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE INTERIM
JOINT COMMITTEE ON NATURAL
(02:04):
RESOURCES AND ENERGY FOR
DISCUSSION.
SUPPORTERS OF THE BILL SAY NO
ONE DESERVES TO LOSE POWER
DURING SEVERE WEATHER JUST
BECAUSE THEY'RE BEHIND ON THEIR
BILLS.
>> DISCONNECTION NOTICES-THEY
ARRIVE LIKE A DEATH SENTENCE.
ELECTRICITY IN EASTERN KENTUCKY.
IT'S NOT A LUXURY.
IT'S A LIFELINE.
>> LOUISVILLE DEMOCRAT SENATOR
(02:24):
CASSIE CHAMBERS ARMSTRONG IS THE
SPONSOR FOR SENATE BILL 73,
WHICH WOULD PREVENT UTILITY
COMPANIES FROM DISCONNECTING
SOMEONE'S ELECTRICITY DURING
SEVERE WEATHER.
SHE SAYS MANY COMPANIES ALREADY
HAVE SIMILAR POLICIES, BUT THAT
THIS LAW WOULD MAKE IT A UNIFORM
MANDATE.
>> I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT ALL OF
THE COMPANIES I'VE SPOKEN TO
HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A
(02:45):
PRIORITY AND A PRACTICE THAT
THEY ENGAGE IN.
BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IF THERE
WERE TO EVER BE UTILITY SALES OR
MERGERS OR NEW OWNERSHIP, THERE
WE'RE SETTING CLEAR GUIDELINES
ABOUT WHAT WE EXPECT TO PROTECT
CITIZENS OF KENTUCKY.
>> THE BILL WOULD PREVENT
DISCONNECTION ONLY WHEN THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
ANNOUNCES EXTREME COLD, HEAT, OR
NATURAL DISASTERS LIKE FLOODS
(03:05):
AND TORNADOES.
IN THE PAST 25 YEARS, THERE HAVE
BEEN 15 CASES OF EXTREME COLD IN
THE STATE, 41 CASES OF EXTREME
HEAT, AND 67 NATURAL DISASTERS.
PROPONENTS SAY THE BILL WILL
ONLY COME INTO EFFECT DURING
THESE EXTREME SCENARIOS, AND
THAT IT DOESN'T LET CUSTOMERS
OFF THE HOOK FOR PAYING THE
(03:25):
OVERDUE BALANCES.
>> IT DOES NOT FORGIVE ANY KIND
OF PAST DUE BALANCE.
IT DOESN'T FORGIVE ANY KIND OF
DEBT.
THIS IS REALLY JUST ABOUT A
MOMENT IN TIME THAT WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS SAFE,
THAT THEY'RE NOT HAVING TO MAKE
EXTREME DECISIONS LIKE STARTING
A FIRE IN THEIR UNIT AND
CATCHING ON FIRE OR HAVING PIPES
FREEZE AND UPSETTING THEIR
(03:45):
LANDLORD THAT LEADS THEM TO GET
EVICTED.
>> ONE LAWMAKER FELT THAT THE
FEDERALLY FUNDED LOW INCOME HOME
ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, OR
LIHEAP, ALREADY MEETS THE NEEDS
OF THIS BILL.
>> WE HAVE A LIHEAP PROGRAM
WHICH SEEMS TO COVER THE PURPOSE
OF THIS PROPOSAL.
(04:06):
SO I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE
WHY WAS THIS NECESSARY GIVEN
THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A LIHEAP
PROGRAM?
>> ONCE A COUNTY EXPENDS THOSE
FUNDS, IT'S DONE LIKE IT CLOSES.
I MEAN, IN LOUISVILLE, IT CLOSES
WITHIN A MATTER OF DAYS.
AND THERE ARE LIMITED FUNDS-THAT
IS THE REAL CRUX OF IT THERE,
REPRESENTATIVE.
(04:28):
>> ARE THE ENTIRETY OF THE
LIHEAP FUNDS EXHAUSTED EVERY
YEAR?
>> YES.
>> SEVERAL REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS
ON THE COMMITTEE FELT THAT THE
BILL WASN'T ADDRESSING THE ROOT
PROBLEM (04:38):
THAT PEOPLE CAN'T
AFFORD THEIR ELECTRIC BILLS.
CO-CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE,
REPRESENTATIVE JIM GOOCH, SAID
KENTUCKY USED TO HAVE SOME OF
THE LOWEST RATES IN THE COUNTRY
BECAUSE OF COAL.
>> THAT CHANGED BECAUSE THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECIDED THAT
THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE SOURCES
THAT WE WERE USING TO GENERATE
OUR ELECTRICITY.
YOU KNOW, NOBODY IS OUT THERE
FIGHTING THE UTILITY RATES
(04:59):
BECAUSE OF POLICIES FROM
WASHINGTON.
BUT THEN THEY WANT TO COME IN
AND TALK ABOUT, WELL, WE CAN'T
CUT PEOPLE OFF OR WHATEVER.
I JUST REALLY GET UPSET WHEN I
SEE THAT THE REAL REASON THAT
WE'RE HAVING A PROBLEM HERE IS
BECAUSE UTILITY BILLS HAVE
BECOME UNAFFORDABLE.
>> IT'S THINGS LIKE THIS THAT WE
HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN WE
(05:20):
PUSH COAL, WE PUSH FOSSIL FUEL
BECAUSE OF THE ABUNDANCE AND
BECAUSE OF THE
COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF IT.
IT'S NOT TO POLLUTE.
IT'S NOT TO KILL PEOPLE OFF.
IT'S TO FIND WAYS FOR PEOPLE TO
BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THE GENTLEMAN
IS TALKING ABOUT-PEOPLE TO
AFFORD IT.
>> THERE WERE ALSO CONCERNS
ABOUT MAKING SURE THE
DISCONNECTION DELAY WOULD BE
(05:40):
LIMITED ONLY TO IMMEDIATE TIMES
OF DANGER AND NOT DRAGGED OUT
FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT
PAYMENT.
SENATOR CHAMBERS ARMSTRONG SAYS
SHE IS ALREADY WORKING TO ADD
THOSE PROVISIONS TO THE BILL.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M MAX
MACK.
SENATOR CHAMBERS ARMSTRONG SAID
(06:01):
THERE WILL ALSO BE LANGUAGE IN
THE BILL SEPARATING
DISCONNECTION BECAUSE OF UNPAID
BILLS VERSUS DISCONNECTION DUE
TO SAFETY AND REPAIR NEEDS THAT
MAY ARISE DURING SEVERE WEATHER.
WE'RE STILL DRY, AND IT'S
GETTING WORSE.
HERE'S THE LATEST MAP FROM THE
U.S.
DROUGHT MONITOR.
KENTUCKY HAS MORE OF THE DARKER
(06:22):
ORANGE, WHICH MEANS "SEVERE
DROUGHT.
AND YOU CAN SEE A SLIVER OF RED
IN FAR WESTERN KENTUCKY, ALONG
THE TENNESSEE BORDER.
THAT MEANS "EXTREME DROUGHT.
THIS MAP WAS COMPLETED TUESDAY.
THE GOOD NEWS?
METEOROLOGISTS SAY OUR WEATHER
PATTERN IS SHIFTING AND INCLUDES
SEVERAL RAIN CHANCES NEXT WEEK.
(06:46):
>> FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS, THE
THIRD FRIDAY IN SEPTEMBER HAS
BEEN KNOWN AS NATIONAL PRISONER
OF WAR AND MISSING IN ACTION
RECOGNITION DAY.
TODAY, VOLUNTEERS GATHERED AT
THE KENTUCKY VIETNAM VETERANS
MEMORIAL IN FRANKFORT TO HONOR
THE MORE THAN 83,000 SERVICE
MEMBERS STILL CONSIDERED TO BE A
POW OR MIA.
(07:10):
THE GROUP WAS JOINED BY STUDIES
TO PASS DONED IMPORTANCE OF
TODAY'S CEREMONY.
>> NOBODY IS GETTING PAID FOR
ANYTHING THEIR OWN TIME AND OWN
MONEY BECAUSE WE FEEL IT'S
IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE YOUNGER
GENERATIONS ABOUT WHAT THIS IS.
BECAUSE IF WE DON'T KEEP A FOCUS
ON THOSE STILL MISSING IN
(07:31):
ACTION, THEN THE GOVERNMENT CAN
GIVE UP ON THEM.
AND NOT TRY AND FIND THEM BUT
THEY ARE IDENTIFYING THE MEN
TODAY FROM WORLD WAR II AND
KOREA AND VIETNAM.
>> Renee (07:45):
THE REMAINS OF STAFF
SERGEANT HENRY GISH WERE
RETURNED TO KENTUCKY FROM
VIETNAM.
HE WAS LAID TO REST WITH FULL
MILITARY HONORS IN BEREA.
>>
INSIDE KENTUCKY POLITICS FOR
(08:05):
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH
LOUISVILLE'S WHISKEY ROW IS A
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT KENTUCKY
SUPREME COURT ACTION THEY STRUCK
DOWN LEXINGTON'S BAN ON NO-KNOCK
WARRENTS AND IT IS WHAT I WANT
YOU TO DEFINE THAT FIRST?
>> VERY SPECIAL SITUATIONS WHERE
THERE IS A CONCERN FOR SAFETY,
SECURITY, AND SURPRISE, AS A
(08:26):
GENERAL RULE YOU CAN LITERALLY
BREAKDOWN A DOOR WITHOUT
KNOCKING.
DRUG RAIDS?
>> THE EVIDENCE WILL BE
DESTROYED SO YOU CAN SURPRISE
PEOPLE.
THAT IS THE NO-KNOCK WARRENT.
IT BECAME VERY CONTROVERSIAL
BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THE BROWN AND
TAYLOR RAID WAS AS IT WAS
EXECUTED WAS NOT A NO-KNOCK
(08:47):
WARRENT.
LEXINGTON PASSED A LAW ORDINANCE
BANNING IT AND THE SUPREME COURT
SAID NO, THE STATE PREEMPTED
THAT SPACE.
LOUISVILLE HAS ONE,
CORRECT?
>> YES.
AND IT'S STILL GOOD?
>> THE WAY THE LAW SOMETIMES
WORKS.
BUT THIS PREEMPTION OF STATE
VERSUS LOCAL THE WAY LEXINGTON
ADOPTED IT, DIDN'T DO IT IN THE
(09:08):
RIGHT WAY.
THE QUESTION IS NOW IT IS A
DIFFERENT COUNCIL WILL THEY
ADOPT A NEW VERSION TO MODEL THE
LOUISVILLE VERSION WHICH THE
STRUCK HAS NOT --
COURT HAS NOT STRUCK THAT DOWN.
THERE IS A STATE LAW
EVEN THOUGH IT HAS IMITATIONS ON
THAT?
>> I DON'T THINK THIS IS HIGH ON
(09:29):
THE RADAR SCREEN OF LEXINGTON
COUNCILMEMBERS TO DEAL WITH
THIS.
CARE TO COMMENT ON
THAT, BOB?
>> THE WHOLE SUBJECT BRINGS BACK
THE TRAM IN LOUISVILLE AND --
TRAGEDY IN LOUISVILLE AND THAT
IS HARD TO TAKE T NEVER SEEMS TO
REACH A FINAL POINT.
THE LEXINGTON COUNCIL IS A VERY
(09:49):
ACTIVE GROUP AND THEY MAKE A
STATEMENT ON THIS RECONSIDERING
SOMETHING THEY THINK WILL BE
OKAY.
OR TAKING A DIFFERENT DIRECTION
OF SOME SORT.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY MIGHT DO AND THAT IS A
CONVERSATION FOR A LATER TIME.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE U.S. SENATE
RACE AND THE DEMOCRATIC FIELD IS
WIDENING.
YOUR PAMELA STEVENSON'S BEEN IN
(10:10):
FOR SOMETIME AND TWO OTHER
GENTLEMEN BOTH WHO HAVE A
MILITARY BACKGROUND OR PUBLIC
SAFETY BACKGROUND VETERANS JOEL
WILLETT WHO IS A VETERAN FORMER
CHIVMENT.
AND YOU HAVE LOGAN FORSYTHE OF
LYON COUNTY IN FAR WEST KENTUCKY
THAT DO THE FANCY FARM JOURNEY
WE KNOW WHERE THAT IS.
(10:31):
>> FORMER U.K. PLAYER WENT TO
OBVIOUSLY MISS.
HE IS A TRADER.
>> STICK TO TOPIC.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NEW
CONTENDERS AND WHAT THEIR
MESSAGE MIGHT BE?
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
DEMOCRATS HAVE HAD WHEN
(10:55):
CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN VETERANS, A
LOT OF THE OPEN SEAT WINNERS
WERE LIKE THIS IS THE PROFILE
THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN
KENTUCKY.
ADAM MOORE WHO WON AN OPEN SEAT
IN LEXINGTON.
IT IS A STATE THAT KENTUCKY HAS
A HIGHER THAN AVERAGE PERCENTAGE
OF ACTIVE-DUTY A HIGHER
(11:16):
PERCENTAGE AN AVERAGE OF
VETERANS RETIREES.
IT IS A PROFILE THAT HAD
POLITICAL SUCCESS FOR DEMOCRATS.
WE'LL SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
HERE IN KENTUCKY.
MAYBE IT WAS TREY
GRAYSON WHO SAID THE ONLY
DEMOCRAT THAT COULD MAKE A DENT
IS NOT GOING TO ENTER.
>> I SAID THAT ON WHAS.
(11:36):
YOU MAY HAVE SAID
THAT.
BOB, DOES THIS MATTER?
IS IT STILL THE REPUBLICAN'S
GAME?
>> IT STILL IS BUT YOU HAVE
THREE CANDIDATES NOW IN THAT
RACE INCLUDING THE FIRST TO
ANNOUNCE.
PAMELA STEVENSON, WHO ARE GOING
TO TALK MILITARY AND DEFENSE AT
A TIME WHEN THAT IS MORE
(11:57):
IMPORTANT PERHAPS THAN 2018 WHEN
IT SEEMS TO WORK WITH WHAT IS
GOING ON IN THE WORLD, PEOPLE'S
AWARENESS OF THAT FROM THE
MIDDLE EAST RUSSIA-UKRAINE AND
OTHER PLACES THESE FOLKS HAVE
SOMETHING TO BRING.
WE'VE SEEN OTHER CANDIDATES
EMERGE WHO HAVE BACKGROUNDS IN
GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNMENT
SERVICE OR MILITARY SERVICE AND
TRES IS SPOT ON WITH THE FORTS
(12:20):
HERE MANY VETERANS I HEARD
GIBBONS YESTERDAY SPEAK AT THE
AIR FORCE BIRTHDAY 78TH
BIRTHDAY, YOU MEET GREAT PEOPLE
REGULAR FOLKS WHO ARE DEVOTED TO
THE MILITARY AND GAVE THE
COUNTRY YEARS OF THEIR LIFE.
>> ALL THREE HAVE THE
BACKGROUND.
(12:40):
27 YEAR VETERAN OF THE
AIR FORCE.
>> WE THINK OF HER MORE AS A
POLITICIAN THAN THESE TWO
GENTLEMEN.
AND JOEL WILLETT HAD
HIS SECURITY CLEARANCE REVOKED
BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HE
WAS ONE OF THE 37.
>> THAT IS AN INTERESTING STORY
ANGLE THAT WILL HAVE RESONANCE
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
(13:01):
AND THEY HAVE PERSONAL STORIES
TO TELL.
HAVING A PRIMARY SOMETIMES
PARTIES DON'T LIKE PRIMARIES
BECAUSE THEY CAN BE DIVISIVE
HAVING A PRIMARY WITH THREE
QUALIFIED CANDIDATES.
AGAIN, I STAND BY WHAT I SAID
UNLESS ANDY BESHEAR GETS IN THE
RACE THIS IS THE REPUBLICANS TO
LOSE.
THEY HAVE INTERESTING STORIES TO
(13:23):
TELL AND APPEAR INTELLIGENT.
IT WILL BE BETTER FOR THE PARTY
TO HAVE A PRIMARY WITH THOSE
THREE HAD WILL GET MORE
ATTENTION AND THE WINNER WILL
EMERGE A BETTER CANDIDATE TO
TAKE ON THE REPUBLICAN.
AND LOGAN FORSYTHE HAS
EVERY MAN'S STORY HIS FAMILY WAS
ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE, MEDICAID
AND S.N.A.P. AND HE TALKS ABOUT
(13:44):
I'VE BEEN IN THE GUTTER HIS
PARENTS SUFFERED FROM ADDICTION
HE HAS A PERSONAL STORY THAT
WILL RESONATE.
>> HE DOES.
IT WILL PROBABLY DRAW PEOPLE IN
LISTENING TO THEM THEY SOUND
LIKE THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO
THE JOB IN A SPECIAL WAY.
NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING WAY FROM
KENTUCKY BEING A RED STATE OR
(14:05):
THE ADVANTAGE TO THE RED SIDE
GOING INTO 2026.
BUT IT CERTAINLY FILLED OUT THAT
RACE IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
WE CONTINUE TO HAVE CANDIDATES
AROUND THE STATE YOU WOULD THINK
THE ELECTION IS THIS NOVEMBER
FROM ALL THE ATTENTION GIVEN TO
THIS.
BUT IT IS A TIME WHEN WE ARE
GIVING --
MUCH DUE ATTENTION TO POLITICS,
(14:26):
TO POLITICAL PROCESS, TO THE
MOOD OF AMERICA TO THE SOUL OF
AMERICA AND THAT IS GOOD.
AND THEY ARE NOT
TRYING TO BE TRUMP LIGHT EITHER
THEY ARE SEEMING TO BE
PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES NOT TRYING TO
STRADDLE THE FENCE.
>> AND AUSTIN HORN REPORTED THE
HORSE TRAINER MAYBE LOOKING AT
(14:49):
THE RACE WHO MIGHT BRING MONEY.
THIS HAS BEEN ON THE ONE HAND A
QUIET YEAR BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE
ELECTIONS BUT WITH THE SENATE
RACE AND THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE
WE'VE SEEN ACTIVITY.
THE FILING DEADLINE IS THE FIRST
WEEK OF JANUARY.
JANUARY --
THE FIRST FRIDAY IN
JANUARY.
>> A BUSINESS.
I THINK IT'S JANUARY 9TH THAT IS
(15:10):
NOT FAR FROM NOW.
ABOUT THREE MONTHS OR SO UNTIL
THIS WINDOW CLOSES.
SO AND THEN YOU HAVE A
FOUR-MONTH SPRINT TO PRIMARY AND
WE WILL BE --
RIGHT HERE SOMEWHERE
NEXT DOOR MAYBE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] THAT GIVE IT IS
PANACHE ON THE HORSERACING SIDE
(15:31):
AND QUITE AN AUTHENTIC FIGURE.
THE RACE IS JUST
GETTING STARTED.
THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN ALWAYS GOOD
CATCHING UP WITH YOU.
[♪♪]
LOUISVILLE'S WHISKEY ROW IS A
COLLECTION OF CAST-IRON
STOREFRONTS THAT HOLD A UNIQUE
HISTORY OF THE STATE'S BOURBON
HISTORY.
(15:51):
TODAY, WHISKEY ROW IS GOING BACK
TO ITS ROOTS AND ATTRACTING
TOURISTS FROM ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
CHRISTIE DUTTON TAKES US INSIDE
THE OLD FORESTER DISTILLERY IN
THIS WEEK'S INSIDE LOUISVILLE.
[♪♪]
>> OLD FORESTER DISTILLERY IS
CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE A NEW
ANCHOR IN HISTORIC WHISKEY ROW.
(16:15):
IN 2018, THEY MOVED BACK INTO
THE EXACT SAME BUILDING THAT
THEY OPERATED IN IN THE LATE
1800S.
>> WE'VE BEEN ON WHISKEY ROW,
FOUNDED ON WHISKEY ROW, AND NOW
WE'RE BACK IN THE VERY PLACE THE
BRAND STARTED.
>> IT ALL STARTED WITH GEORGE
GARVIN BROWN.
(16:37):
>> IN 1870, HE FOUNDED OLD
FORESTER.
HE WAS A PHARMACEUTICAL
SALESMAN.
HE HAD JUST MOVED TO LOUISVILLE
FROM A SMALL TOWN IN KENTUCKY,
MUNFORDVILLE, WHERE HE WAS BORN
AND RAISED.
>> HE MAINLY SOLD OPIUM AND
WHISKEY, BUT IT WAS THE WAY HE
SOLD WHISKEY THAT SET HIM APART
FROM THE COMPETITION.
>> BACK IN THOSE TIMES, YOU
COULD ONLY BUY WHISKEY STRAIGHT
FROM THE BARREL.
(16:57):
YOU'D GO TO THE PUB, FILL UP
YOUR JUG WITH WHISKEY, AND OFF
YOU GO.
GEORGE GARVIN BROWN HAD THE
REVOLUTIONARY IDEA OF SEALING IT
IN A GLASS BOTTLE.
AND OF COURSE, A GLASS BOTTLE
NEEDS A LABEL WITH A NAME.
SO WHERE DID THE NAME "OLD
FORESTER" COME FROM?
THIS IS DR. WILLIAM FORRESTER, A
(17:18):
GOOD FRIEND OF GEORGE GARVIN
BROWN.
HE WAS A RENOWNED UNION SURGEON,
WELL-KNOWN IN THE LOUISVILLE
AREA, AND HE ENDORSED GEORGE
GARVIN BROWN'S BOURBON.
"OLD," THE CONNOTATION OF "OLD"
BACK THEN, SIMPLY MEANT THAT IT
WAS AGED-NOT A NEW SPIRIT.
SO "OLD FORESTER" CAME FROM
(17:39):
THAT.
>> NAME RECOGNITION HELPED TO
POPULARIZE THE BOURBON BRAND,
AND THEY SET UP SHOP ON MAIN
STREET'S WHISKEY ROW.
>> THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH FROM
THIS BUILDING.
THIS IS GEORGE GARVIN BROWN
AND THIS IS KIND OF LIKE THE
BUSINESS GOINGS-ON.
(18:00):
>> THE BOURBON BUSINESS WAS
BOOMING• UNTIL•
>> SCREECHING HALT-THE DARK DAYS
OF PROHIBITION, WHICH BANNED THE
PRODUCTION AND SALE OF ALCOHOL
IN THE U.S. IN 1920.
THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE END OF
OLD FORESTER'S STORY IF IT
HADN'T BEEN FOR A VERY LUCKY
BREAK.
>> LUCKILY FOR US, BROWN-FORMAN
WAS ISSUED ONE OF SIX MEDICINAL
PERMITS IN KENTUCKY.
(18:21):
>> SO THEY COULD KEEP SELLING
OLD FORESTER, BUT ONLY TO BE
CONSUMED AS MEDICINE.
>> ALL OF A SUDDEN, AMERICA HAD
HEADACHES AND HANGNAILS, AND
EVERYBODY RAN TO THEIR
PHARMACISTS TO GET THEIR
WHISKEY, RIGHT?
>> AS BUSINESS SCALED BACK TO
STRICTLY PHARMACEUTICAL SALES,
OLD FORESTER ABANDONED ITS HOME
ON MAIN STREET'S WHISKEY ROW,
EVENTUALLY SETTING UP
HEADQUARTERS ON DIXIE HIGHWAY.
(18:42):
>> WE'RE THE ONLY BOURBON BRAND
THAT'S BEEN SOLD BEFORE, DURING,
AND AFTER PROHIBITION.
>> ONCE PROHIBITION ENDED IN
1933, BOURBON PRODUCTION HIT A
FAST PACE.
>>ED LID IS OFF WITH THE
DOWNFALL OF PROHIBITION
CELEBRATED IN OLD TIME.
(19:02):
OLD FORESTER MINT JULEP-WE ARE
THE OFFICIAL DRINK OF THE
KENTUCKY DERBY.
OFFERING NEW VARIATIONS•
>> WE HAVE OUR BARREL STRENGTH
OPTION, 100 PROOF OPTION, AND
THEN WE HAVE OUR LOVELY RYE
SINGLE BARREL OPTION.
AND FANCY BOTTLES•
>> BACK IN THE 50S AND 60S, WE
RELEASED HOLIDAY DECANTERS.
>> OLD FORESTER HAS EVOLVED
THROUGH ITS 155-YEAR HISTORY,
BUT THEIR CRAFT OF
(19:24):
BOURBON-MAKING FOLLOWS THE SAME
PATH IT ALWAYS HAS.
>> THIS FERMENTER WAS JUST SET
THIS MORNING.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S READY TO
START CRANKING.
>> BUT TODAY, IT'S ENHANCED BY
STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT AND
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY.
BUT THE BRAND NEVER FORGOT ITS
ROOTS.
(19:45):
>> IN 2017-18, WHEN WE WERE
MOVING BACK HERE, IT WAS KIND OF
A CRAZY MOVE IN SOME WAYS
BECAUSE THE BRAND WAS VERY
SMALL.
>> IT WAS RISKY BUSINESS FOR THE
WHISKEY BUSINESS, BUT THE MOVE
BACK TO HISTORIC WHISKEY ROW
DISTILLED NEW LIFE INTO AN
AGE-OLD LEGACY.
>> WE'RE THE ONLY BOURBON
DISTILLERY STILL OPERATING IN
THE PLACE THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY
BORN, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE ON
(20:06):
MAIN STREET IN DOWNTOWN
LOUISVILLE.
>> I'M CHRISTIE DUTTON FOR
INSIDE LOUISVILLE.

HISTORIC AREA, NOW EXPANDING TO
INCLUDE NEARLY A DOZEN

DEATH IN SEVERE WEATHER
SCENARIOS.
ONE LOUISVILLE DEMOCRAT IS
TRYING TO REVIVE A BILL THAT
WOULD PREVENT UTILITY COMPANIES
FROM SHUTTING OFF SOMEONE'S
POWER DURING SEVERE WEATHER DUE
(01:43):
TO UNPAID BILLS.
IN TONIGHT'S LEGISLATIVE UPDATE,
OUR MACKENZIE SPINK HAS MORE ON
THE DISCUSSION FROM THE
COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES
AND ENERGY.
>> IN THIS YEAR'S REGULAR
SESSION, SENATE BILL 73 DIDN'T
MAKE IT OUT OF COMMITTEE.
TO PREPARE THE LEGISLATION FOR
THE 2026 SESSION, THE MEASURE
WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE INTERIM
JOINT COMMITTEE ON NATURAL
(02:04):
RESOURCES AND ENERGY FOR
DISCUSSION.
SUPPORTERS OF THE BILL SAY NO
ONE DESERVES TO LOSE POWER
DURING SEVERE WEATHER JUST
BECAUSE THEY'RE BEHIND ON THEIR
BILLS.
>> DISCONNECTION NOTICES-THEY
ARRIVE LIKE A DEATH SENTENCE.
ELECTRICITY IN EASTERN KENTUCKY.
IT'S NOT A LUXURY.
IT'S A LIFELINE.
>> LOUISVILLE DEMOCRAT SENATOR
(02:24):
CASSIE CHAMBERS ARMSTRONG IS THE
SPONSOR FOR SENATE BILL 73,
WHICH WOULD PREVENT UTILITY
COMPANIES FROM DISCONNECTING
SOMEONE'S ELECTRICITY DURING
SEVERE WEATHER.
SHE SAYS MANY COMPANIES ALREADY
HAVE SIMILAR POLICIES, BUT THAT
THIS LAW WOULD MAKE IT A UNIFORM
MANDATE.
>> I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT ALL OF
THE COMPANIES I'VE SPOKEN TO
HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A
(02:45):
PRIORITY AND A PRACTICE THAT
THEY ENGAGE IN.
BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IF THERE
WERE TO EVER BE UTILITY SALES OR
MERGERS OR NEW OWNERSHIP, THERE
WE'RE SETTING CLEAR GUIDELINES
ABOUT WHAT WE EXPECT TO PROTECT
CITIZENS OF KENTUCKY.
>> THE BILL WOULD PREVENT
DISCONNECTION ONLY WHEN THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
ANNOUNCES EXTREME COLD, HEAT, OR
NATURAL DISASTERS LIKE FLOODS
(03:05):
AND TORNADOES.
IN THE PAST 25 YEARS, THERE HAVE
BEEN 15 CASES OF EXTREME COLD IN
THE STATE, 41 CASES OF EXTREME
HEAT, AND 67 NATURAL DISASTERS.
PROPONENTS SAY THE BILL WILL
ONLY COME INTO EFFECT DURING
THESE EXTREME SCENARIOS, AND
THAT IT DOESN'T LET CUSTOMERS
OFF THE HOOK FOR PAYING THE
(03:25):
OVERDUE BALANCES.
>> IT DOES NOT FORGIVE ANY KIND
OF PAST DUE BALANCE.
IT DOESN'T FORGIVE ANY KIND OF
DEBT.
THIS IS REALLY JUST ABOUT A
MOMENT IN TIME THAT WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS SAFE,
THAT THEY'RE NOT HAVING TO MAKE
EXTREME DECISIONS LIKE STARTING
A FIRE IN THEIR UNIT AND
CATCHING ON FIRE OR HAVING PIPES
FREEZE AND UPSETTING THEIR
(03:45):
LANDLORD THAT LEADS THEM TO GET
EVICTED.
>> ONE LAWMAKER FELT THAT THE
FEDERALLY FUNDED LOW INCOME HOME
ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, OR
LIHEAP, ALREADY MEETS THE NEEDS
OF THIS BILL.
>> WE HAVE A LIHEAP PROGRAM
WHICH SEEMS TO COVER THE PURPOSE
OF THIS PROPOSAL.
(04:06):
SO I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE
WHY WAS THIS NECESSARY GIVEN
THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A LIHEAP
PROGRAM?
>> ONCE A COUNTY EXPENDS THOSE
FUNDS, IT'S DONE LIKE IT CLOSES.
I MEAN, IN LOUISVILLE, IT CLOSES
WITHIN A MATTER OF DAYS.
AND THERE ARE LIMITED FUNDS-THAT
IS THE REAL CRUX OF IT THERE,
REPRESENTATIVE.
(04:28):
>> ARE THE ENTIRETY OF THE
LIHEAP FUNDS EXHAUSTED EVERY
YEAR?
>> YES.
>> SEVERAL REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS
ON THE COMMITTEE FELT THAT THE
BILL WASN'T ADDRESSING THE ROOT
PROBLEM (04:38):
THAT PEOPLE CAN'T
AFFORD THEIR ELECTRIC BILLS.
CO-CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE,
REPRESENTATIVE JIM GOOCH, SAID
KENTUCKY USED TO HAVE SOME OF
THE LOWEST RATES IN THE COUNTRY
BECAUSE OF COAL.
>> THAT CHANGED BECAUSE THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECIDED THAT
THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE SOURCES
THAT WE WERE USING TO GENERATE
OUR ELECTRICITY.
YOU KNOW, NOBODY IS OUT THERE
FIGHTING THE UTILITY RATES
(04:59):
BECAUSE OF POLICIES FROM
WASHINGTON.
BUT THEN THEY WANT TO COME IN
AND TALK ABOUT, WELL, WE CAN'T
CUT PEOPLE OFF OR WHATEVER.
I JUST REALLY GET UPSET WHEN I
SEE THAT THE REAL REASON THAT
WE'RE HAVING A PROBLEM HERE IS
BECAUSE UTILITY BILLS HAVE
BECOME UNAFFORDABLE.
>> IT'S THINGS LIKE THIS THAT WE
HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN WE
(05:20):
PUSH COAL, WE PUSH FOSSIL FUEL
BECAUSE OF THE ABUNDANCE AND
BECAUSE OF THE
COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF IT.
IT'S NOT TO POLLUTE.
IT'S NOT TO KILL PEOPLE OFF.
IT'S TO FIND WAYS FOR PEOPLE TO
BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THE GENTLEMAN
IS TALKING ABOUT-PEOPLE TO
AFFORD IT.
>> THERE WERE ALSO CONCERNS
ABOUT MAKING SURE THE
DISCONNECTION DELAY WOULD BE
(05:40):
LIMITED ONLY TO IMMEDIATE TIMES
OF DANGER AND NOT DRAGGED OUT
FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT
PAYMENT.
SENATOR CHAMBERS ARMSTRONG SAYS
SHE IS ALREADY WORKING TO ADD
THOSE PROVISIONS TO THE BILL.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M MAX
MACK.
SENATOR CHAMBERS ARMSTRONG SAID
(06:01):
THERE WILL ALSO BE LANGUAGE IN
THE BILL SEPARATING
DISCONNECTION BECAUSE OF UNPAID
BILLS VERSUS DISCONNECTION DUE
TO SAFETY AND REPAIR NEEDS THAT
MAY ARISE DURING SEVERE WEATHER.
WE'RE STILL DRY, AND IT'S
GETTING WORSE.
HERE'S THE LATEST MAP FROM THE
U.S.
DROUGHT MONITOR.
KENTUCKY HAS MORE OF THE DARKER
(06:22):
ORANGE, WHICH MEANS "SEVERE
DROUGHT.
AND YOU CAN SEE A SLIVER OF RED
IN FAR WESTERN KENTUCKY, ALONG
THE TENNESSEE BORDER.
THAT MEANS "EXTREME DROUGHT.
THIS MAP WAS COMPLETED TUESDAY.
THE GOOD NEWS?
METEOROLOGISTS SAY OUR WEATHER
PATTERN IS SHIFTING AND INCLUDES
SEVERAL RAIN CHANCES NEXT WEEK.
(06:46):
>> FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS, THE
THIRD FRIDAY IN SEPTEMBER HAS
BEEN KNOWN AS NATIONAL PRISONER
OF WAR AND MISSING IN ACTION
RECOGNITION DAY.
TODAY, VOLUNTEERS GATHERED AT
THE KENTUCKY VIETNAM VETERANS
MEMORIAL IN FRANKFORT TO HONOR
THE MORE THAN 83,000 SERVICE
MEMBERS STILL CONSIDERED TO BE A
POW OR MIA.
(07:10):
THE GROUP WAS JOINED BY STUDIES
TO PASS DONED IMPORTANCE OF
TODAY'S CEREMONY.
>> NOBODY IS GETTING PAID FOR
ANYTHING THEIR OWN TIME AND OWN
MONEY BECAUSE WE FEEL IT'S
IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE YOUNGER
GENERATIONS ABOUT WHAT THIS IS.
BECAUSE IF WE DON'T KEEP A FOCUS
ON THOSE STILL MISSING IN
(07:31):
ACTION, THEN THE GOVERNMENT CAN
GIVE UP ON THEM.
AND NOT TRY AND FIND THEM BUT
THEY ARE IDENTIFYING THE MEN
TODAY FROM WORLD WAR II AND
KOREA AND VIETNAM.
>> Renee (07:45):
THE REMAINS OF STAFF
SERGEANT HENRY GISH WERE
RETURNED TO KENTUCKY FROM
VIETNAM.
HE WAS LAID TO REST WITH FULL
MILITARY HONORS IN BEREA.
>>
INSIDE KENTUCKY POLITICS FOR
(08:05):
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH
LOUISVILLE'S WHISKEY ROW IS A
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT KENTUCKY
SUPREME COURT ACTION THEY STRUCK
DOWN LEXINGTON'S BAN ON NO-KNOCK
WARRENTS AND IT IS WHAT I WANT
YOU TO DEFINE THAT FIRST?
>> VERY SPECIAL SITUATIONS WHERE
THERE IS A CONCERN FOR SAFETY,
SECURITY, AND SURPRISE, AS A
(08:26):
GENERAL RULE YOU CAN LITERALLY
BREAKDOWN A DOOR WITHOUT
KNOCKING.
DRUG RAIDS?
>> THE EVIDENCE WILL BE
DESTROYED SO YOU CAN SURPRISE
PEOPLE.
THAT IS THE NO-KNOCK WARRENT.
IT BECAME VERY CONTROVERSIAL
BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THE BROWN AND
TAYLOR RAID WAS AS IT WAS
EXECUTED WAS NOT A NO-KNOCK
(08:47):
WARRENT.
LEXINGTON PASSED A LAW ORDINANCE
BANNING IT AND THE SUPREME COURT
SAID NO, THE STATE PREEMPTED
THAT SPACE.
LOUISVILLE HAS ONE,
CORRECT?
>> YES.
AND IT'S STILL GOOD?
>> THE WAY THE LAW SOMETIMES
WORKS.
BUT THIS PREEMPTION OF STATE
VERSUS LOCAL THE WAY LEXINGTON
ADOPTED IT, DIDN'T DO IT IN THE
(09:08):
RIGHT WAY.
THE QUESTION IS NOW IT IS A
DIFFERENT COUNCIL WILL THEY
ADOPT A NEW VERSION TO MODEL THE
LOUISVILLE VERSION WHICH THE
STRUCK HAS NOT --
COURT HAS NOT STRUCK THAT DOWN.
THERE IS A STATE LAW
EVEN THOUGH IT HAS IMITATIONS ON
THAT?
>> I DON'T THINK THIS IS HIGH ON
(09:29):
THE RADAR SCREEN OF LEXINGTON
COUNCILMEMBERS TO DEAL WITH
THIS.
CARE TO COMMENT ON
THAT, BOB?
>> THE WHOLE SUBJECT BRINGS BACK
THE TRAM IN LOUISVILLE AND --
TRAGEDY IN LOUISVILLE AND THAT
IS HARD TO TAKE T NEVER SEEMS TO
REACH A FINAL POINT.
THE LEXINGTON COUNCIL IS A VERY
(09:49):
ACTIVE GROUP AND THEY MAKE A
STATEMENT ON THIS RECONSIDERING
SOMETHING THEY THINK WILL BE
OKAY.
OR TAKING A DIFFERENT DIRECTION
OF SOME SORT.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY MIGHT DO AND THAT IS A
CONVERSATION FOR A LATER TIME.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE U.S. SENATE
RACE AND THE DEMOCRATIC FIELD IS
WIDENING.
YOUR PAMELA STEVENSON'S BEEN IN
(10:10):
FOR SOMETIME AND TWO OTHER
GENTLEMEN BOTH WHO HAVE A
MILITARY BACKGROUND OR PUBLIC
SAFETY BACKGROUND VETERANS JOEL
WILLETT WHO IS A VETERAN FORMER
CHIVMENT.
AND YOU HAVE LOGAN FORSYTHE OF
LYON COUNTY IN FAR WEST KENTUCKY
THAT DO THE FANCY FARM JOURNEY
WE KNOW WHERE THAT IS.
(10:31):
>> FORMER U.K. PLAYER WENT TO
OBVIOUSLY MISS.
HE IS A TRADER.
>> STICK TO TOPIC.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NEW
CONTENDERS AND WHAT THEIR
MESSAGE MIGHT BE?
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
DEMOCRATS HAVE HAD WHEN
(10:55):
CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN VETERANS, A
LOT OF THE OPEN SEAT WINNERS
WERE LIKE THIS IS THE PROFILE
THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN
KENTUCKY.
ADAM MOORE WHO WON AN OPEN SEAT
IN LEXINGTON.
IT IS A STATE THAT KENTUCKY HAS
A HIGHER THAN AVERAGE PERCENTAGE
OF ACTIVE-DUTY A HIGHER
(11:16):
PERCENTAGE AN AVERAGE OF
VETERANS RETIREES.
IT IS A PROFILE THAT HAD
POLITICAL SUCCESS FOR DEMOCRATS.
WE'LL SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
HERE IN KENTUCKY.
MAYBE IT WAS TREY
GRAYSON WHO SAID THE ONLY
DEMOCRAT THAT COULD MAKE A DENT
IS NOT GOING TO ENTER.
>> I SAID THAT ON WHAS.
(11:36):
YOU MAY HAVE SAID
THAT.
BOB, DOES THIS MATTER?
IS IT STILL THE REPUBLICAN'S
GAME?
>> IT STILL IS BUT YOU HAVE
THREE CANDIDATES NOW IN THAT
RACE INCLUDING THE FIRST TO
ANNOUNCE.
PAMELA STEVENSON, WHO ARE GOING
TO TALK MILITARY AND DEFENSE AT
A TIME WHEN THAT IS MORE
(11:57):
IMPORTANT PERHAPS THAN 2018 WHEN
IT SEEMS TO WORK WITH WHAT IS
GOING ON IN THE WORLD, PEOPLE'S
AWARENESS OF THAT FROM THE
MIDDLE EAST RUSSIA-UKRAINE AND
OTHER PLACES THESE FOLKS HAVE
SOMETHING TO BRING.
WE'VE SEEN OTHER CANDIDATES
EMERGE WHO HAVE BACKGROUNDS IN
GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNMENT
SERVICE OR MILITARY SERVICE AND
TRES IS SPOT ON WITH THE FORTS
(12:20):
HERE MANY VETERANS I HEARD
GIBBONS YESTERDAY SPEAK AT THE
AIR FORCE BIRTHDAY 78TH
BIRTHDAY, YOU MEET GREAT PEOPLE
REGULAR FOLKS WHO ARE DEVOTED TO
THE MILITARY AND GAVE THE
COUNTRY YEARS OF THEIR LIFE.
>> ALL THREE HAVE THE
BACKGROUND.
(12:40):
27 YEAR VETERAN OF THE
AIR FORCE.
>> WE THINK OF HER MORE AS A
POLITICIAN THAN THESE TWO
GENTLEMEN.
AND JOEL WILLETT HAD
HIS SECURITY CLEARANCE REVOKED
BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HE
WAS ONE OF THE 37.
>> THAT IS AN INTERESTING STORY
ANGLE THAT WILL HAVE RESONANCE
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
(13:01):
AND THEY HAVE PERSONAL STORIES
TO TELL.
HAVING A PRIMARY SOMETIMES
PARTIES DON'T LIKE PRIMARIES
BECAUSE THEY CAN BE DIVISIVE
HAVING A PRIMARY WITH THREE
QUALIFIED CANDIDATES.
AGAIN, I STAND BY WHAT I SAID
UNLESS ANDY BESHEAR GETS IN THE
RACE THIS IS THE REPUBLICANS TO
LOSE.
THEY HAVE INTERESTING STORIES TO
(13:23):
TELL AND APPEAR INTELLIGENT.
IT WILL BE BETTER FOR THE PARTY
TO HAVE A PRIMARY WITH THOSE
THREE HAD WILL GET MORE
ATTENTION AND THE WINNER WILL
EMERGE A BETTER CANDIDATE TO
TAKE ON THE REPUBLICAN.
AND LOGAN FORSYTHE HAS
EVERY MAN'S STORY HIS FAMILY WAS
ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE, MEDICAID
AND S.N.A.P. AND HE TALKS ABOUT
(13:44):
I'VE BEEN IN THE GUTTER HIS
PARENTS SUFFERED FROM ADDICTION
HE HAS A PERSONAL STORY THAT
WILL RESONATE.
>> HE DOES.
IT WILL PROBABLY DRAW PEOPLE IN
LISTENING TO THEM THEY SOUND
LIKE THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO
THE JOB IN A SPECIAL WAY.
NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING WAY FROM
KENTUCKY BEING A RED STATE OR
(14:05):
THE ADVANTAGE TO THE RED SIDE
GOING INTO 2026.
BUT IT CERTAINLY FILLED OUT THAT
RACE IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
WE CONTINUE TO HAVE CANDIDATES
AROUND THE STATE YOU WOULD THINK
THE ELECTION IS THIS NOVEMBER
FROM ALL THE ATTENTION GIVEN TO
THIS.
BUT IT IS A TIME WHEN WE ARE
GIVING --
MUCH DUE ATTENTION TO POLITICS,
(14:26):
TO POLITICAL PROCESS, TO THE
MOOD OF AMERICA TO THE SOUL OF
AMERICA AND THAT IS GOOD.
AND THEY ARE NOT
TRYING TO BE TRUMP LIGHT EITHER
THEY ARE SEEMING TO BE
PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES NOT TRYING TO
STRADDLE THE FENCE.
>> AND AUSTIN HORN REPORTED THE
HORSE TRAINER MAYBE LOOKING AT
(14:49):
THE RACE WHO MIGHT BRING MONEY.
THIS HAS BEEN ON THE ONE HAND A
QUIET YEAR BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE
ELECTIONS BUT WITH THE SENATE
RACE AND THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE
WE'VE SEEN ACTIVITY.
THE FILING DEADLINE IS THE FIRST
WEEK OF JANUARY.
JANUARY --
THE FIRST FRIDAY IN
JANUARY.
>> A BUSINESS.
I THINK IT'S JANUARY 9TH THAT IS
(15:10):
NOT FAR FROM NOW.
ABOUT THREE MONTHS OR SO UNTIL
THIS WINDOW CLOSES.
SO AND THEN YOU HAVE A
FOUR-MONTH SPRINT TO PRIMARY AND
WE WILL BE --
RIGHT HERE SOMEWHERE
NEXT DOOR MAYBE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] THAT GIVE IT IS
PANACHE ON THE HORSERACING SIDE
(15:31):
AND QUITE AN AUTHENTIC FIGURE.
THE RACE IS JUST
GETTING STARTED.
THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN ALWAYS GOOD
CATCHING UP WITH YOU.
[♪♪]
LOUISVILLE'S WHISKEY ROW IS A
COLLECTION OF CAST-IRON
STOREFRONTS THAT HOLD A UNIQUE
HISTORY OF THE STATE'S BOURBON
HISTORY.
(15:51):
TODAY, WHISKEY ROW IS GOING BACK
TO ITS ROOTS AND ATTRACTING
TOURISTS FROM ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
CHRISTIE DUTTON TAKES US INSIDE
THE OLD FORESTER DISTILLERY IN
THIS WEEK'S INSIDE LOUISVILLE.
[♪♪]
>> OLD FORESTER DISTILLERY IS
CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE A NEW
ANCHOR IN HISTORIC WHISKEY ROW.
(16:15):
IN 2018, THEY MOVED BACK INTO
THE EXACT SAME BUILDING THAT
THEY OPERATED IN IN THE LATE
1800S.
>> WE'VE BEEN ON WHISKEY ROW,
FOUNDED ON WHISKEY ROW, AND NOW
WE'RE BACK IN THE VERY PLACE THE
BRAND STARTED.
>> IT ALL STARTED WITH GEORGE
GARVIN BROWN.
(16:37):
>> IN 1870, HE FOUNDED OLD
FORESTER.
HE WAS A PHARMACEUTICAL
SALESMAN.
HE HAD JUST MOVED TO LOUISVILLE
FROM A SMALL TOWN IN KENTUCKY,
MUNFORDVILLE, WHERE HE WAS BORN
AND RAISED.
>> HE MAINLY SOLD OPIUM AND
WHISKEY, BUT IT WAS THE WAY HE
SOLD WHISKEY THAT SET HIM APART
FROM THE COMPETITION.
>> BACK IN THOSE TIMES, YOU
COULD ONLY BUY WHISKEY STRAIGHT
FROM THE BARREL.
(16:57):
YOU'D GO TO THE PUB, FILL UP
YOUR JUG WITH WHISKEY, AND OFF
YOU GO.
GEORGE GARVIN BROWN HAD THE
REVOLUTIONARY IDEA OF SEALING IT
IN A GLASS BOTTLE.
AND OF COURSE, A GLASS BOTTLE
NEEDS A LABEL WITH A NAME.
SO WHERE DID THE NAME "OLD
FORESTER" COME FROM?
THIS IS DR. WILLIAM FORRESTER, A
(17:18):
GOOD FRIEND OF GEORGE GARVIN
BROWN.
HE WAS A RENOWNED UNION SURGEON,
WELL-KNOWN IN THE LOUISVILLE
AREA, AND HE ENDORSED GEORGE
GARVIN BROWN'S BOURBON.
"OLD," THE CONNOTATION OF "OLD"
BACK THEN, SIMPLY MEANT THAT IT
WAS AGED-NOT A NEW SPIRIT.
SO "OLD FORESTER" CAME FROM
(17:39):
THAT.
>> NAME RECOGNITION HELPED TO
POPULARIZE THE BOURBON BRAND,
AND THEY SET UP SHOP ON MAIN
STREET'S WHISKEY ROW.
>> THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH FROM
THIS BUILDING.
THIS IS GEORGE GARVIN BROWN
AND THIS IS KIND OF LIKE THE
BUSINESS GOINGS-ON.
(18:00):
>> THE BOURBON BUSINESS WAS
BOOMING• UNTIL•
>> SCREECHING HALT-THE DARK DAYS
OF PROHIBITION, WHICH BANNED THE
PRODUCTION AND SALE OF ALCOHOL
IN THE U.S. IN 1920.
THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE END OF
OLD FORESTER'S STORY IF IT
HADN'T BEEN FOR A VERY LUCKY
BREAK.
>> LUCKILY FOR US, BROWN-FORMAN
WAS ISSUED ONE OF SIX MEDICINAL
PERMITS IN KENTUCKY.
(18:21):
>> SO THEY COULD KEEP SELLING
OLD FORESTER, BUT ONLY TO BE
CONSUMED AS MEDICINE.
>> ALL OF A SUDDEN, AMERICA HAD
HEADACHES AND HANGNAILS, AND
EVERYBODY RAN TO THEIR
PHARMACISTS TO GET THEIR
WHISKEY, RIGHT?
>> AS BUSINESS SCALED BACK TO
STRICTLY PHARMACEUTICAL SALES,
OLD FORESTER ABANDONED ITS HOME
ON MAIN STREET'S WHISKEY ROW,
EVENTUALLY SETTING UP
HEADQUARTERS ON DIXIE HIGHWAY.
(18:42):
>> WE'RE THE ONLY BOURBON BRAND
THAT'S BEEN SOLD BEFORE, DURING,
AND AFTER PROHIBITION.
>> ONCE PROHIBITION ENDED IN
1933, BOURBON PRODUCTION HIT A
FAST PACE.
>>ED LID IS OFF WITH THE
DOWNFALL OF PROHIBITION
CELEBRATED IN OLD TIME.
(19:02):
OLD FORESTER MINT JULEP-WE ARE
THE OFFICIAL DRINK OF THE
KENTUCKY DERBY.
OFFERING NEW VARIATIONS•
>> WE HAVE OUR BARREL STRENGTH
OPTION, 100 PROOF OPTION, AND
THEN WE HAVE OUR LOVELY RYE
SINGLE BARREL OPTION.
AND FANCY BOTTLES•
>> BACK IN THE 50S AND 60S, WE
RELEASED HOLIDAY DECANTERS.
>> OLD FORESTER HAS EVOLVED
THROUGH ITS 155-YEAR HISTORY,
BUT THEIR CRAFT OF
(19:24):
BOURBON-MAKING FOLLOWS THE SAME
PATH IT ALWAYS HAS.
>> THIS FERMENTER WAS JUST SET
THIS MORNING.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S READY TO
START CRANKING.
>> BUT TODAY, IT'S ENHANCED BY
STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT AND
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY.
BUT THE BRAND NEVER FORGOT ITS
ROOTS.
(19:45):
>> IN 2017-18, WHEN WE WERE
MOVING BACK HERE, IT WAS KIND OF
A CRAZY MOVE IN SOME WAYS
BECAUSE THE BRAND WAS VERY
SMALL.
>> IT WAS RISKY BUSINESS FOR THE
WHISKEY BUSINESS, BUT THE MOVE
BACK TO HISTORIC WHISKEY ROW
DISTILLED NEW LIFE INTO AN
AGE-OLD LEGACY.
>> WE'RE THE ONLY BOURBON
DISTILLERY STILL OPERATING IN
THE PLACE THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY
BORN, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE ON
(20:06):
MAIN STREET IN DOWNTOWN
LOUISVILLE.
>> I'M CHRISTIE DUTTON FOR
INSIDE LOUISVILLE.

HISTORIC AREA, NOW EXPANDING TO
