mattd Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Hello All! My name is Matthew Dorris and I work with a production company called Essex Television. We are coming down to Memphi next week to do some shooting, including some shooting of the Jack Daniels distillery. What are some other places we should hit up? We want to meet and talk to Bourbon enthusiasts and get a feel for the community and culture behind bourbon. Any good bars people could recommend? Anyone feel like chatting with a producer and some camera men? Please email me at mattd@essextelevision.com if you are interested, and you can check out Essex's website at http://www.essextelevision.com looking forward to hearing from some of you! Thanks. matthew dorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbonmed Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Matthew,If you wish to do a documentary on Bourbon, you are going to the wrong state friend. Jack Daniel's is a cousin of bourbon and is a Tennessee whiskey. Visit Kentucky, better yet come see us during The Bourbon Festival, Sept. 18-21, in Bardstown, KY. You can go on tours of several nearby distilleries. Cheers,Omar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrel_Proof Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Well, Matthew, first of all you should go to Bourbon country if you want to talk to Bourbon enthusiasts. I suggest you study this board a while and then schedule a trip to Kentucky. Then, come visit a bunch of us Bourbon enthusiasts in mid-September --and I assure you , we ain't heading to Tennessee!

mattd Posted June 5, 2003 Author Share Posted June 5, 2003 Doh! *face turns red*Sorry, someone passed this on to me and mis-informed me =)Hrmmm, well in that case I guess my question is the same, it just needs to be re-worded. My associates will still be going to Tennessee, and still looking for interesting spots. So if any of you have any whiskey or bourbon related spots that can't be missed in Tennessee, let me know =)Thanks for the info!Matthew Dorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyc Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Keep the Faith Brother! All is not lost, Do your film in Tennessee , Then plan to further explore the fine realm of Bourbon Culture with us In Bardstown in September. Now that you are a forum member you are in to get to go on some marvelous tour that Omar will put together. Last year it was Labrot and Graham and Buffalo Trace with pre release sampling of Pot stilled Bourbon and George T Stagg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
