Speaker 1: Covington which I also like. And Smoke Justice, which is

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: at the heart of it all. Richard Dickman from a

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Smoke Justice as well, I can't believe us. I can't

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: You're right, but you know what, this is a special

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,120

Speaker 1: the Bonded Spirit Bluegrass Festival.

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: So it centers around the fact that Covington headed gentleman

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: who lived there. His name was John G. Carlisle, and

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: today is a special day. It's bottled in bond day

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: and he was the one that pushed it through. So

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,240

00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: So the the two like centerpieces of this bluegrass music

55
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: and bourbon.

56
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: That's correct. Tell me about the bourbon. It's all about Kentucky, right.

57
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: So we have a great sponsor in New Reff who

58
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: was just prized with the world's best bourbon and that

59
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: is part of what we're doing that it's a bottled

60
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: and bond product that we're putting into our cocktail called

61
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: the Bonded Spirit. Okay, so again we are really celebrating

62
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: the whole bottled and bond act. And Connington claims it

63
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: is ours. So you know, in the whole state of Kentucky,

64
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: we're really the ones that can capture it and take

65
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: it in. Honestly, right now we have the biggest botto

66
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: and Bond celebration in the world. You guys, do we

67
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: in Covington, Kentucky, Kentucky.

68
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: I think a lot of folks would be surprised to

69
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: hear that.

70
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know what, come down and find out

71
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: what it's all about.

72
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: All right, better history explain the Bottled and Bond Act.

73
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: So, the Bottom and Bond Act was enacted in eighteen

74
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: ninety seven, and it was the first attempt well it

75
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: really wasn't an attempt. They did it. It was the

76
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: first regulations set by the federal government to protect us

77
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: from all the bad things that could go into a

78
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: product that we wouldn't know was in it. So, you know,

79
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: of all the products that were being made, they chose

80
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: bourbon to be the first. So people were more concerned

81
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: about their bourbon and what was in it than anything else.

82
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: So you know, later on it came the FDA and

83
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: everything else, but it was regulated. They put these barrels

84
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: in locked warehouses and the government watched over them to

85
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: make sure that they weren't tainted or anything was going

86
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: into them that shouldn't be going into them. So that

87
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: took place today, that took place, So it was the

88
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: act happened in this day, March third, eighteen ninety seven.

89
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: Wow, bit a history. You learned something.

90
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: Familiar, way smarter than you were before I got here.

91
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,520
