Rob SamuelsGUEST
It's not to bore you with too much of our family's history, but as was mentioned, I'm the eighth generation of the Samuels family involved with producing whiskey in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Rob SamuelsGUEST
We think it's the longest lineage of any family to make whiskey anywhere in the world.

Rob SamuelsGUEST
But what you didn't mention were the first five generations made pretty god-awful whiskey.

Rob SamuelsGUEST
But in the 1950s, my grandparents, Bill Samuels Sr., Margie Samuels, walked away from a 160-year family legacy that they didn't believe in.
