Join us for a little bourbon history, some horse racing, and a drinking game that ties them all together!

Prohibition - One of the most significant times in American history and how it affected all aspects of everyday life.

Join us as we venture down the rabbit's hole of Prohibition and the creation of Speakeasies as everyday Americans found ways to still enjoy their favorite liquid spirits.

Cognac isn't just fancy brandy that is double distilled in copper pot stills and then oak-barrel aged for at least 2 years. Like any number of spirits throughout history, it is named for the area from which it’s produced but history has a way intertwining itself into places and spaces.

Tonight, we focus on Cognac and how it affected history for France, the USA, and specifically New Orleans. We meander our way through Bourbon Street and the amazing cemeteries that hold so much mystery and intrigue.

It's a special Flight of Five tonight. We go back over the last four spirits and introduce a fifth for another flight of five. This time the Whiskey Wheel stopped on 'bottom shelf bourbon!' So hang on to your pocketbook, since this drink won't cost as much as others, and listen in to find out whether a bottom shelf bourbon measures up or not!
