We are honoring Black History Month by celebrating Black Excellence in history and whiskey. Join us as we celebrate the life and accomplishments of one of the most kick a** ladies in herstory: Harriet Tubman. 


In this episode we discuss the scarcity of black winemakers in the U.S., how Fawn Weaver is the superhero of spirits, and the lasting legacy of the female Moses, all while sipping on some Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Whisky.
