Join us as Dan and Bob welcome Michael Barkett onto the podcast and we explore a wide range of bourbon topics, including tasting notes, bottle aging, market trends, and behind-the-scenes distillery insights. We do a line-up of Old Grand-Dad Expressions- including an old dusty. And of course it all goes downhill from there. This was a really fun episode. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight.

Next podcast Dan's MIC will be closer to his face!
