I first met R.W. Robinson (he introduced himself as Bob) in 2014 at the old distillery. When he told me he had been the former Superintendent I was excited to be able to ask questions of someone who actually worked here. At the end of our conversation, I thought it was a great experience, and that I would not see Bob again. Thankfully, I was wrong, and Bob comes to visit us on a regular basis.

It has been a privilege to learn from Bob’s 40 years of experience in the world of bourbon. Things in the industry have changed since Bob’s tenure. Bourbon has enjoyed a resurgence and we owe a debt of gratitude to R.W. Robinson and his legacy will continue.
