Today, we're conversing with the guy you want to drink spirits with.  Eric Zandona is a spirits afficionado, spirits judge, Director at the American Distilling Institute and he’s searching for the world's best drinks. 
We hit on his newly completed 3rd book, The Atlas of Bourbon & American Whiskey.  We're talking "Bottled in Bond," the first labeling laws & the confusion about the spelling of Whiskey vs Whisky. We discuss his findings on how and why the quality has increased dramatically as well as Flavor Impact, Barrel Entry Proof vs Flavor Profile and White (unaged) Whiskey
