A River of Whiskey
The story of the Mighty Mississippi is the story of American Whiskey - Bourbon. But the story doesn’t end there. As bourbon gained popularity and made its way south from Kentucky, some of it evolved into a sweet, strong liqueur now loved by millions worldwide. These “rectified” American whiskies have been tantalizing taste buds and invading kitchens for over a hundred years. Join the Thirsty Traveler as he savors the sweet southern comforts of New Orleans, from backroom bars off Bourbon Street to the stinky swamps of the Louisiana bayou! Cheers, I do declare!
