The Trellis Restaurant invites you to it's 2nd Annual Bourbon Tasting on February 3rd, 2012 at 6:30pm with Chris Morris Master Distiller Woodford Reserve Spirits Historian.

Chris Morris, Master Distiller at the Woodford Reserve Distillery, owned by Brown-Forman Corp., continues a tradition that dates back to 1797. A second generation Brown-Forman employee, Morris is the second Master Distiller since the brand was launched in 1996. He is responsible for maintaining the award-winning profile of Woodford Reserve. Additionally, he serves as a global brand ambassador for Woodford Reserve at numerous trade and consumer functions. Morris joined Brown-Forman in 1976 as an intern training under the Master Distiller. Morris left Brown-Forman to gain additional distillery experience at Glenmore Distilleries Company and United Distillers. He returned to Brown-Forman in 1997 and began training as the successor to the Master Distiller. Today, he is the craftsman behind Brown-Forman’s award-winning specialty bourbons. As a spirits authority, Morris serves as a judge at the world-renowned International Wine & Spirit Competition in London. Morris co-chairs the DISCUS Master Distiller's Committee, serves on the Kentucky Distillers Association’s Board of Directors, and is the only American distiller to be named a “Keeper of the Quaich” by the Scotch Whisky Association.
