Episode 19 we talk to bourbon and basketball enthusiast Brian Haara. Brian is a Louisville, Kentucky attorney who found a way to combine his passions for law, bourbon, and history.  After stumbling upon the Pepper v. Labrot case from 1881 and then learning the real truth about Col. E. H. Taylor, Jr., Brian knew that he had to tell the true story about bourbon and its connections with the development of American commercial law and the growth of the nation.

Brian and I talk about Kentucky basketball and how he fell in love with the Wildcat team. He talks about the 1996 Kentucky team and has a story about the team party after the championship. Brian also tells us about his passion for bourbon as well as his starting 5 of bourbons!
