Bourbon Badass Training Manual

Fred Ruffenach, a Philadelphia native, relocated to Louisville, Kentucky for love. From owning shares in Thoroughbred race horses to his love for bourbon, he embraced everything about Kentucky. His passion for bourbon didn't happen overnight. Starting out by mixing his bourbon with water, his palate evolved over time to the point where he has participated in several private barrel selections. In fact, he has tasted straight from the barrel alongside some of the world's most well-known master distillers. He belongs to several bourbon clubs and has done extensive research on what makes each bourbon unique.   Bourbon and its culture quickly became a part of Fred's everyday life. His business Thievery Spirits, focuses on promotional merchandise for the spirits industry. It also doesn't hurt that his wife, Linda, is the founder of the Whisky Chicks. Both he and his wife enjoy sharing their passion for the spirit and have found a way to mix business with pleasure. With the Bourbon Badass Training Manual, Fred succeeds in creating a tasting journal with notes that matter.
