  1,000 Bottles, One Garage with Jay Jacobs

  Aug 17, 20261h 28mS2

  Woodford Bourbon Guy Jay Jacobs opens up his private bourbon collection of nearly 1,000 bottles, and the story behind it is bigger than whiskey. Jay Jacobs, known online as Woodford Bourbon Guy, turned an ordinary garage into one of Kentucky's most talked-about private bourbon bars, starting with a bar he found on Marketplace and bolted straight to the floor. But the real story isn't the shelves, it's how a passion that began as something he did for his mom turned into a trusted voice in the bourbon community. In this episode of Kentucky's Wandering Realtor, Jay shares why he originally forced himself to learn to like whiskey, how Woodford Bourbon Guy grew from a social media handle into a name bourbon fans trust before they spend their money, and what that responsibility actually feels like. We talk Penelope Bourbon, American Light Whiskey, and Stagg Jr., a few Kentucky bourbon opinions that might get him in trouble, the bottles that deserve way more attention, and whether owning nearly 1,000 bottles ever gets in the way of just enjoying the pour. Because the name Woodford Bourbon Guy carries more weight than most people realize, we also dig into the culture, food, and character of Versailles and Woodford County, and what Jay thinks visitors miss when they only see the tourist version. Plenty of bourbon. Plenty of laughs. But at its core, this is a conversation about everything that gets built around the bottle, family, community, and connection. 1,000 Bottles, One Garage with Jay Jacobs, on Kentucky's Wandering Realtor. #WoodfordBourbonGuy #KentuckyBourbon #BourbonCollector #VersaillesKY #WoodfordCounty #KentuckysWanderingRealtor #BourbonCommunity #WhiskeyPodcast

  The Mission After Service with Luis Martinez JR

  Aug 3, 20261h 37mS2

  THE MISSION AFTER SERVICE | Luis Martinez Jr. of Whiskey Valor Foundation What happens when the uniform comes off, but the need for purpose, brotherhood, and service remains? In this episode of Kentucky's Wandering Realtor, Stephon Lewis sits down with Luis Martinez Jr., Marine Corps veteran and founder of the Whiskey Valor Foundation, for a deeply personal conversation about identity after military service, veteran mental wellness, family, and the mission that continued long after his time in uniform. Luis shares how his journey took him from the Marine Corps into military intelligence, higher education, and the Pat Tillman Foundation community. He also reflects on how a wellness retreat in Louisville helped shift his understanding of what veterans need after service, and planted the seed for what would eventually become Whiskey Valor. Whiskey Valor Foundation uses community events, partnerships, wellness retreats, and its RideShare Initiative to support veterans and their families, promote responsible drinking, and help reduce DUIs within the military community. Rather than judging veterans for where they are, Luis and his team are committed to meeting them there with accountability, connection, and meaningful resources. We also had the honor of joining Whiskey Valor for a special barrel pick through its partnership with the Blue Skies Foundation, together, we selected a whiskey expression that will help raise money for an incredible cause. In this conversation, Luis opens up about: The person he was before joining the Marines What military service gave him and what it demanded The identity shift that followed leaving the uniform behind The 2022 Pat Tillman Foundation Wellness Retreat in Louisville The unconventional idea that became Whiskey Valor Using whiskey as an invitation to connection, not the hero of the story The mission behind Whiskey Valor's RideShare Initiative Why some veterans may be searching for more than a safe ride home Creating Whiskey Valor's own wellness retreat Marriage, fatherhood, and serving the people closest to him What he hopes his children will one day understand about his mission This episode is about much more than whiskey. It's about brotherhood, vulnerability, responsibility, and finding a new way to serve when one chapter of service ends. A special thank-you to Onyx & Amber Tasting Room and Tartan House for once again opening their doors and giving us the space to share another meaningful story.

  Jul 27, 20261h 40mS2

The conversation also includes Louisville culture, bourbon industry truths, a founder's offer from Darth Vader, and a major announcement from Brittany about what's coming next.

  Two Palates, One Legacy with Jason Brauner & Jereme McFarland

  Jul 20, 20261h 29mS2

  Bourbons Bistro has shaped Louisville's bourbon and food scene for over two decades. In this episode of Kentucky's Wandering Realtor, Jason Brauner and Executive Chef Jereme McFarland share how rare bottle collecting, kitchen leadership, and two very different journeys built one of Louisville's most important bourbon destinations. Jason talks about helping open Bourbons Bistro in 2005, what he saw in Kentucky bourbon before the tourism boom, and how collecting rare bottles led him into blending his own expressions. Jereme walks through his path from cooking for hundreds of Marines to becoming executive chef, the fear of stepping into that role, and what it takes to protect a menu that loyal guests already love. We get into the real relationship between bourbon and food, the pressure of carrying forward something people already care about, and the mistakes customers never saw happen. Bourbons Bistro is located in Louisville, Kentucky and has been a cornerstone of the city's bourbon tourism scene since 2005.
