This weekend on WhiskyCast, we’re going to talk about a couple of experiments comparing maturation in Texas with different climates. Milam and Greene aged the same whiskey in Texas and Kentucky for five years, and is releasing the two whiskies so consumers can compare for themselves.

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.
