  Matt Jamie is a renowned entrepreneur and the founder of Bourbon Barrel Foods, a company that specializes in producing high-quality, handcrafted gourmet foods. He is a passionate advocate for the use of locally sourced and sustainable ingredients in the food industry, and this mission is reflected in the products that Bourbon Barrel Foods creates.

  While working as a chef in Gainesville, Florida, Jamie’s journey as an entrepreneur began with a single idea – becoming the first micro brewed soy sauce company in the US. After returning to his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, he began experimenting with brewing soy sauce. Through trial and error, Matt landed upon the idea of naturally brewing the product in reclaimed bourbon barrels. This led to the creation of Bourbon Barrel Foods, which has since become a leader in the world of artisanal food production.

  Under Jamie’s leadership, Bourbon Barrel Foods has created a range of products, including his original product, Bluegrass Soy Sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and Bourbon Smoked Spices. The company has won numerous awards and is recognized for its commitment to quality and sustainability. Jamie’s success as an entrepreneur serves as an inspiration to others who are looking to turn their passions into successful businesses.
