Episode description
Michael and friends interview Brian Haara, commercial lawyer, contributor to The Bourbon Community Roundtable on the Bourbon Pursuit Podcast, and notably, author of “Bourbon Justice: How Whiskey Law Shaped America.” Brian shares how a dusty case allowed him to fuse his passions of the law and bourbon. Learn how storied distiller Col. E.H. Taylor was known for skipping debts and double-selling barrels before backing the Bottled-in-Bond Act, how litigation was as much a part of bourbon as mash, and how early distilling shaped modern consumer and commercial law. The guys take another potshot at Canepastan, and Michael shares the Mission of the T.A.T.E.R. Institute!
