I kept trying to make my way over to talk to him, but we were super busy (did I mention it was Derby week?) and I didn't make it in time. Dejected, I went back to the break room and started eating my dinner. The next think I knew Rutledge came through the door with cups in one hand and bottles in the other hand saying, "You didn't get to do my tasting!" That's the beautiful thing about the bourbon industry - the people love what they do, and their enthusiasm is infectious. I knew I had to tell the world all about it.
