We can create a challenging whiskey trivia night complete with prizes or build the ideal event perfect for a company outing.

About Phil Kollin

Phil has a lot to say about whiskey.

He has things to say about whiskey’s colorful history, the fascinating process of distilling and the stories behind each bottle. 

He wants to share tales about the spirit’s lore, the unyielding appeal, and the legendary and compelling characters behind each brand. He wants to talk about the myths that everyone thinks they know to be true (but usually aren’t). And Phil wants to talk about the long journey that bourbon whiskey endured to became America’s native spirit.

And that’s all before you start to sip. Then the real fun begins. 

Phil Kollin loves nothing more than to show people a good time. In recent years, he has hosted hundreds of groups on whiskey-themed events ranging from day-long treks down The Kentucky Bourbon Trail® to private tastings and educational seminars. 

Phil has made it his mission to travel down every highway, byway, back-road and no-lane road in the Bluegrass state while picking up as many great stories along the way as possible. 

Phil is both a Louisville Certified Tourism Ambassador and an Executive Bourbon Steward through the Stave & Thief Society. Phil also serves as the VIP Experience Manager for The Bourbon Country Burn which hosts an annual three-day bike event and whiskey festival at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. He prefers his bourbon on the rocks and if you ask him what his favorite bourbon is, he’ll likely tell you it’s the one currently occupying his glass.
