Battling Bogus Bourbons & Confronting Counterfeiters

Fakes have been plaguing Scotch Whisky collectors for years, but
the rising boom in Bourbon's popularity means more demand than
supply -- and that's where counterfeiters see a chance to make
money. With empty bottles available for sale online, it's not
that hard to create a fake Bourbon...until you get a call from
Adam Herz. He's a Los Angeles-based whisky collector who's become
an expert in the art of uncovering fake whiskies and the people
who create them, and he'll share his story with us on this week's
WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Kentucky alcohol regulators say
the private barrel selection business is operating in a gray area
of the state's liquor laws, and there's a race in the General
Assembly to fix the problem. We'll have that story and how
similar issues could affect distillers in other states, along
with a revival in whisky-related tourism, liquor shortages for
Mardi Gras, and much more.
