E.H. Taylor Despised Stagg (And Other Stories of Bourbon Justice)

Dusty bourbon lawsuits expose long-lost facts and reveal the maverick mentality that is part of bourbon’s rich heritage, especially in early trademark fights.  The same trademark wars are being waged today as brands jockey to distinguish themselves in an ever-crowded field.  Follow these heavyweight bourbon battles from the 1800’s to today and test your knowledge in the lightning round!

It's Bourbon Night

The Flight Fight Done Right

We see it all the time. Three or four bourbons are being discussed and the comments start. "My order would be..." or "I would pick..." and then the bourbons are listed first to last. That's all well and good, of course, but we always say that we'll never truly know until we do them blind and that's exactly what more and more people are now doing!

There's never been a better time to take an evening and set up a blind flight for yourself and we're here to help. In this session we'll take you through what you need, give expert tips, and talk about different ways you can design themes for your flights. We'll even do our own blind flight as we go, so grab some whiskey and drink along with us as we do our first ever Live Stream Blind Flight Fight!

 

Shopping List:

Wild Turkey 101, Four Roses Small Batch, Evan Williams Bottled-in-bond, Jim Beam Black.
