In this episode, prepare to delve into a legend that transcends whiskey itself - an elusive treasure whispered about only among the most dedicated collectors. It's a tale of passion, pursuit, and the mysterious bottle that has captivated bourbon enthusiasts for decades. In the 1990's, the world was gripped by a frenzy, but little did most know that far from the public eye, an even greater obsession was slowly brewing inside barrels in a dark, long-ago forgotten rickhouse. A few rare individuals embarked on a journey to uncover one of the most coveted spirits ever made - something so exclusive, it's nearly mythical.
This is a story of three men, drawn together by fate, whose paths would cross in a way that changed bourbon history forever. The bottle they crafted is so rare, even among connoisseurs, it remains almost a secret. Join me as we trace the footsteps of these men and unlock the mystery of the bourbon world's greatest hidden treasure.
