Episode description
Crossover products such as whiskey aged in wine barrels, and vice versa, are certainly not a new thing. But with much discussion around whether the new Bourbon-barrel-aged wines on the market are faddish or gimmicky, it's a good time to dig into the subject.
Why Bourbon barrels? And are wines finished in Bourbon barrels any good?
