It’s another Flight Night as we enjoy three different cocktails — one nonalcoholic and two halfsies — featuring Kentucky Spiritless 74 with Michael Toscano, Spiritless National Director of Trade Marketing. The crew for flight night includes Jonathan, Seth and Brandon. In addition to the cocktails, we talk about the creation of Spiritless Kentucky 74 bourbon, how it acts/plays like a bourbon, creating a nonalcoholic bourbon, what going “halfsies” means, Michael’s go-to cocktails, cocktails he doesn’t miss creating and what’s next for Spiritless.
