Hey guys, sorry for the delay, but as promised here is a mini-cast of Chris and guest co-host Alicia tasting and waxing Quixotic about the Angel’s Envy line! Also, by absconded we didn’t mean stole, but rather took our tastings back to somewhere quiet we could record. For those of you with short attention spans…
As promised in the last podcast (alas later than I intended), here is the PDF of what I found in my research on who owns who and who makes what in the bourbon world. It is as accurate as I could make it, but if you happen to know something that is wrong or could…

You asked, we listened. Here is the first podcast in mono instead of stereo for ease of listening at work or other tasks requiring only 1 earbud. Also, podcast #3 is on the horizon. The research is done and we’re just collecting a couple more bottles for the tasting. Hopefully from our brains to your…
