If there was ever a time to have a glass of bourbon, now is it. 

Back in 2007, Congress passed a resolution declaring September National Bourbon Heritage Month. On this episode of the award-winning podcast Life Behind Bars, co-hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum are joined by Trey Zoeller, founder of Jefferson’s Bourbon, to talk about why the month-long holiday was created and how to properly celebrate it.

So fix yourself a glass of bourbon and listen to this episode of Life Behind Bars. Cheers!
