The Loophole in the Bottle

Rob and Mark crack open Heaven Hill's brand new Double Mash, a nine year bottled in bond that technically shouldn't exist, and spend the next hour proving why that's the best kind of whiskey story. They dig into the 1897 law that created bottled in bond in the first place, the century old loophole that let Heaven Hill's master distiller blend two fully qualifying bourbons into one bottle, and the real story behind the name, which has nothing to do with a hill. Along the way there's a warehouse fire that torched two percent of the world's bourbon supply, a Beam family tree tangled enough to need its own documentary, a Steelers shrine getting bumped for whiskey shelf space, and Rob nursing the day's only meal of a Diet Coke and a Snickers * * * Hosted on Acast.
