The Kentucky Bourbon Festival is thrilled to announce the addition of Stacy Pritchard as the new vice president of distillery relations, as well as the election of Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co.’s Cordell Lawrence to vice chairman of the board.⁠ ⁠ Pritchard’s love for hospitality, bourbon, and Bardstown led her to KBF. She brings her industry experience and a passion for bourbon to the team. As both a long-time attendee, and a past volunteer, Pritchard participated in the festival’s evolution and is excited to build on its continuing commitment to innovation and strengthening its distillery partnerships.⁠ ⁠ In December, the festival’s board of directors met to elect its 2023 slate, and elevated Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co.’s Lawrence to the executive committee as board vice chair. “We could not be more excited to have Cordell Lawrence in a leadership position,” said David Mandell, chairman of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. “Cordell has the vision, expertise, and experience to help the festival continue to evolve and grow.”
