Episode 66: Jack Beguedou, Hood Sommelier

We continue our Imbibe 75 coverage with a conversation with Jack Beguedou, one of our 2023 People to Watch. Originally from Togo, Jack Beguedou now lives in Omaha, and is known on Instagram and YouTube as the Hood Sommelier, sharing his whiskey explorations with thousands of online followers. For this episode, we chat about what first brought him into the whiskey world, and about how he’s sharing his West African heritage with bourbon audiences via his Afrofusion dinners.
