Laws That Might Make You Want a Drink

Whisky and other alcoholic beverages are some of the most
regulated consumer products in the world, and let's be
honest...not all of those laws and regulations make a lot of
sense. In fact, some of them might make you want to pour yourself
a dram. Jarrett Dieterle of the R Street Institute in Washington,
DC has compiled some of the finest examples of legislative
legerdemain and matched them up with cocktail recipes in his new
book, "Give Me Liberty, and Give Me a Drink!" He'll join us to
explain just how we got to this point on WhiskyCast In-Depth. In
the news, Jack Daniel's master distiller Jeff Arnett is stepping
down for a new - but so far undisclosed job, while distillery
managers on Islay are shuffling jobs without having to leave the
island. We'll have details on how the Covid-19 pandemic and
tariffs are affecting sales for Chivas Brothers, and distillers
in Kentucky are putting their money behind their pledge to
improve diversity in the industry.
