Knob Creek, the Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey has added a new community added to their website. It’s called the “Expedition Map.”

The Expedition map let’s users post their stories, videos, and photos and join in a community of Kentucky straight bourbon whisky lovers. From discovering a 100-foot tall tower of junk or finding a new bar where you can enjoy Knob Creek, the Expedition Map is all about letting you share whatever you want to fellow whiskey lovers.

Great example of digital communication. One downside is that Knob Creek monitors what you post and only let’s through stuff that they think is fitting. I do hope they look at contributions with open eyes as there is nothing worse than getting your contributions stopped.

Bourbon connoisseurs in Illinois may experience déjà vu, as a long-time favorite Bourbon is returning to the area after a 45-year absence.

Four Roses Bourbon was the top-selling U.S. Bourbon during much of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s, when its distribution changed to focus solely overseas. The Kentucky-made Bourbon is making its comeback with Four Roses Single Barrel and Four Roses Small Batch, both set to land in restaurants, bars and liquor stores throughout Illinois by mid-November.

“We are no strangers to Illinois and it’s great to be back,” said Jim Rutledge, Four Roses Master Distiller and a Bourbon Hall of Fame member, who has been with Four Roses for 40 years.
