The Bourbon Road is two Veterans sharing pours and good stories with interesting guests.  Each week we sip on bourbon while talking with celebrities, musicians, chefs, authors, industry experts and everyone in between. If bourbon makes it better... or even the other way around, then we want to talk about it.
