Rob and Mark get a cryptic text from Dan Brunner at Timmons Market, a picture of a fireman decanter and a bottle of Old Hoffman bourbon, with the challenge: what do these two things have in common? Turns out it’s a wild ride through Kentucky distilling history, from the Rippy family and Ezra Brooks to Julian Van Winkle renaming a shuttered distillery Old Commonwealth. Dan brings his liquor store expertise and a genuinely mysterious decanter he scored at a garage sale three blocks from his shop, and the guys crack it open on air to find out what’s hiding inside a bottle that might be pushing fifty years old. There’s bourbon market talk, some Weller availability gossip from Colorado, and plenty of Rob being Rob.
