National Bourbon Week is returning to Bardstown, Kentucky, Bardstown Bourbon Company's new Distillery Reserve series, and Jack Daniel’s releases one if it's oldest to date, a 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey.

I've invited Lynette Green on the show. She is the e-commerce manager for Jack Daniel's at Brown-Forman, and we explore the dynamic intersection of technology and the whiskey industry. I start by reflecting on the impact of rapidly evolving technologies, particularly AI, and how they are reshaping consumer interactions and content creation in bourbon. Lynette shares her impressive 26-year journey with Brown-Forman, highlighting the shifts in digital marketing from its early days to the now crucial role of e-commerce in spirits. They discuss innovative strategies to enhance product visibility in an oversaturated digital marketplace and emphasize the importance of authentic consumer engagement. The conversation also delves into the potential of AI tools in marketing while balancing them with human creativity, and Lynette's forward-looking vision for the direct-to-consumer channel in premium spirits.
