About Us

It all started with a gift—one iconic blue and white wax-sealed bottle of Maker’s Mark bourbon. Kevin O. Stinnett didn’t know it then, but that bottle would ignite a lifelong passion. Over the next 30 years, that passion would grow into a personal collection of thousands of bottles, countless distillery visits, conversations with master distillers, and an ever-deepening love for America’s native spirit.

That love eventually took flight—The Bourbon Flight.

Built for those who see bourbon as more than a drink, The Bourbon Flight is a place where stories are poured, history is savored, and the business behind the barrel is just as fascinating as what’s inside it. Our website, newsletter, and digital magazine dive into “The business side of bourbon—with a splash of spirit!” Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or just discovering your first bottle, we bring you along for the ride.

We write for the dreamers, the collectors, the connoisseurs—and the curious. We spotlight the legends who shaped the industry and the new distillers carving out bold futures. You’ll find Top Shelf News, Latest Pours, Original Pours, 100 Proof Recipes, Upcoming Bottle Releases, and behind-the-scenes industry insights—all served with warmth and authenticity.

But we’re more than content—we’re a community. With The Flight Club, our premium subscription-based experience, you’ll gain access to exclusive tastings, virtual experiences, educational series, and a welcome gift worthy of your shelf. It’s where bourbon lovers gather, learn, and celebrate together.

At our core, we believe bourbon is about connection—between people, places, and generations. Every bottle tells a story and we’re here to tell it.  Because every distillery has a heritage—of family legacies, risk-taking founders, hidden hollows, master craftsmen, and aging warehouses that hold more than just barrels. We bring those stories to life, highlighting the people and places that give bourbon its soul.

One pour at a time.   One reader at a time. One unforgettable flight.

So, whether you’re sipping something rare, exploring your first small batch or wanting to know more about bourbon, welcome aboard.

The Bourbon Flight is ready for takeoff.
