What's it like covering the NFL? This week, we talked to one of the most connected NFL reporters--Mike Garafolo, a big bourbon fan. Garafolo once choked down George T. Stagg. Now, he nurses rare bourbons. Today, we taste Glass A: Remus Repeal Reserve. Glass B: Rabbit Hole Raceking Limited Edition; and Glass C) Elijah Craig Single Barrel Barrel Proof, a private selection of Hook & Hoof.
