About Phil (Phil Talks Whiskey)
Phil Kollin loves nothing more than talking whiskey, sharing amazing stories, and showing people a good time. Over the years, he has hosted hundreds of groups on whiskey-themed events ranging from day-long treks down The Kentucky Bourbon Trail® to private tastings and educational seminars.
Phil has made it his mission to travel down every highway, byway, back road, and no-lane road in the Bluegrass state while picking up as many great tales along the way as possible.
Phil is both an Executive Bourbon Steward through the Stave & Thief Society and a Louisville Certified Tourism Ambassador. He prefers his bourbon on the rocks, and if you ask him what his favorite bourbon is, he’ll likely tell you it’s the one currently occupying his glass.
