Bernie Lubbers, Brand Ambassador for Heaven Hill, continues in Part II with a conversation about Heaven Hill bourbon brands, the removal of the 12 year Elijah Craig age statement, and a Bourbon Pursuit first – a guitar performance.

– Let’s talk about some of the brands from HH, because there are quite a few of them. We’ll focus on the bourbon, of course. I’ll give you a name and you give us a fun fact or tidbit. (A must-listen!)
– The cat is out of the bag, and it’s been the hot topic for the past week: Elijah Craig is dropping the 12 year age statement and it’s going to be a blend of 8-12 years. You have a pretty firm stance on age statements. Talk about what this means to you.
– What are the pros and cons of keeping and removing the the age statement?
– We wrap up the show with Bernie playing an original tune that name checks a ton of different bourbons.
