This week, I am joined by my cousin Tessa to sip the two bottles that we won during the silent auction of the 2023 Bourbon Ball - Ardbeg 19yr ' Traigh Bhan' and Lagavulin 14yr, specially selected by Jordan Paisley, distillery manager at Lagavulin.

Tessa, as some of you may know, is the daughter of my Uncle Craig and the wife of my cousin John, both of whom passed away.  Tessa and I recap the Bourbon Ball and talk about dealing with death and suicide, all while sipping some incredibly rare scotch.

This was a heavy episode, but an episode I enjoyed recording.   We do our best to float in as many jokes as we can in between the morbid talk.  I hope you guys enjoy it as well.

Howdy!  It's been a bit since I've recorded a podcast.  I've been traveling a lot in the last 6 weeks, but I am finally back home and gearing up for a lot more content soon.

This week, I recap the 2023 Bourbon Ball, held at Castle & Ket Distillery and The Kentucky Castle on June 30th & July 1st.  We were able to raise thousands of dollars for Folds of Honor.

I also discuss getting chance to meet legendary racehorse American Pharoah and top stallion Uncle Mo at Ashland Stud in Woodford County, KY, as well as an amazing podcast experience with Brent Elliot and Graham McTavish at Four Roses Distillery, and other things I've been doing in my absence. 

Thanks for listening!  🥃
