• “Bourbon Royalty: Why Legacy Distilleries Still Reign Supreme”

  Send us a textIn this episode of Bottles & Bites Without Borders, Rob dives deep into a hot take: You don’t need to chase the latest $90 craft bottle to experience the full spectrum of what bourbon has to offer. From the bold spice of Wild Turkey to the mellow richness of Maker’s Mark, the legacy distilleries—Wild Turkey, Old Forester, Jack Daniel’s, Four Roses, Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, and Maker’s Mark—have been crafting iconic bourbons for generations.Rob breaks down why these historic houses still deliver the best in flavor, quality, and value, and makes the case for skipping most craft bottles that often come with higher price tags and inconsistent results.
