    Episode 17 - Buffalo Trace

    We're trying the bourbon from the company that started the craze or was behind it or whatever because everyone wants to get a hold of it or their products. Anyway, we try the flagship of Buffalo Trace, Buffalo Trace itself. We also talk about how those pesky state run alcohol states make it very hard in a shady sort of way to get allocated liquor.
