  • Great listen

    Always a great listen guys even though sometimes I worry about Anthony’s physical well being from Kenny. Some of the more personable voices in the whiskey world. Keep the good stuff coming. Beau (the idiot who runs

    "the.suburban.bourbon" on Instagram.

    PS-make sure Anthony explains the first review.
