Have you ever looked back on a project and said: “What took so long?”  That is this episode.

The boys bring two of their favorite bottles—the bottles that all other bottles are judged against.  Matt shares The Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch and Drew brings Fortaleza Blanco.  And they both agree: It’s about damn time!

Matt tells us all about the colorful character and innovator that was The Colonel E.H. Taylor, and especially the first piece of food legislation in the US: The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897.  (We had whiskey legislation before we had the USDA or FDA!)

Drew tells a few stories about Fortaleza, suggests everyone checks out The Agave Social Club podcast for more history, and we review the Taste Tequila / Tequila Matchmaker Confirmed Additive Free program.

The QuickSips™ are magical.  Vanilla and Brine?  Yep.  Olives and Caramel?  Yep.  And they’re delicious?  YEP!

We read a listener review, tease some future episodes, and marvel at the beauty within these two spirits!

Want a Happy Friday?  Pick up these bottles!
