About this episode

Rob and Mark are back from a long weekend (margaritas may or may not have been involved), and this time they've got company. John Willard, of Willard Water fame, finally shows up after years of empty promises. He brought whiskey from Tel Aviv, four bottles from Milk & Honey Distillery, a kosher, award winning Israeli whiskey that beat out Scotland and Japan on the world stage. The guys taste through the lineup while John tells the wild story of his grandfather, a chemist, a Manhattan Project consultant, and the inventor of Willard Water itself. There's ancient walls in Jerusalem, a sixty year old family business that's now selling on multiple continents, and a serious debate about whether Willard Water might make whiskey hit different. Pour something good and settle in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
