24: Rise & Fall of a Rickhouse

The bourbon industry was hit with some bad news when a portion of a multi-story rickhouse collapsed at Owensboro's O.Z. Tyler Distillery.  We discuss this and some other bourbon news in this week's episode. Facebook cracks down on bourbon sales and the bourbon secondary market is scrambling. The new visitor center for the Bulleit Distillery is opening on June 25, 2019 in Shelbyville Kentucky.  And finally, the Dant Family is re-entering bourbon production and we are always excited to hear about historic brands and families being revived.    Show Links: J.W.
