Welcome back to All Things Whiskey Podcast!  On this episode Host Mike Outcalt was invited into the Nashville Barrel Company tasting room in Nashville Tennessee to talk all things Nashville Barrel Company with their two Co-Founders Mike Hinds and James Davenport.  Join us for a great conversation around why they got into whiskey, their charitable contributions - especially to F*** Cancer and Veteran's, and what's next for the brand.  

Nashville Barrel Company (or NBC) is quickly becoming a force and they are company that is putting out some of the BEST single barrels on the market right now.  We were fortunate enough to pick a barrel with them and it is a candidate for whiskey of the year.

We had a blast meeting with the NBC team and we are excited to continue our partnership with them.  Don't miss this episode!
