For a long time, whiskey seemed to have gone out with the Rat Pack. The Mad Men era. That\u2019s over. Whiskey\u2019s back. With more range of flavors and connoisseurs than ever. Sippers talking about it like wine. \u201cDrizzled with honey and almonds\u2026custard cream, toasted barley\u2026 banana bread and vanilla fudge.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The guests in the program are:<\/p>\n

Michael Veach<\/strong>, associate curator of special collections at Kentucky\u2019s Filson Historical Center. Bourbon historian and a member of the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame. Author of \u201cKentucky Bourbon Whiskey: An American Heritage<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
