Morgan talks with Greg Walters and gets into how exactly bourbon investing works with LQD Assets.

Hi Morgan, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.

I grew up in Bardstown KY, the bourbon capital of the world, so I’ve been around bourbon all of my life. If you have ever met someone from Kentucky, they’re quite proud of where they’re from–myself included.

Bardstown, KY, is not just my hometown but also the bourbon capital of the world. Growing up there, I've had the pleasure of experiencing some bars and lounges that perfectly capture the spirit of our beloved bourbon culture.

With the Kentucky Derby taking place today, the excitement is palpable, and the air is filled with anticipation (and soon, big hats). As we eagerly await the thundering hooves and the thrill of the race, it seems fitting to take a moment to delve into the intertwined history of two quintessential Kentucky treasures: the Derby itself and the state’s beloved bourbon.
