I couldn't hear it, so, and I didn't want to mess with anything because you told me my mic sounded fine, so I'm like, I'm not touching it. I don't need to hear the intro.

Hands off. Absolutely everything. I will be accepting all the apologizes for apologies for my mic over the last two years.

So just keep them coming in because I know I sound amazing.

First time ever.

This is Bourbon Pursuit, the official podcast of Bourbon, bringing to you the best in news, reviews, and interviews with people making the bourbon whiskey industry happen, and I'm one of your host, Kenny Coleman.

It's another great episode of the Bourbon Community Roundtable, and this is the 82nd edition.

Over the past few weeks, Jack Daniels has made

its case against a dog toy manufacturer that's made its way all the way to the Supreme Court.

And there's no better time than the present to give our resident attorney Brian Hara of Sippincorne

a chance to break it down for us and what this means for parody law and for anyone else trying

to infringe on a trademark. Then we dive in with our first topic, and that's expensive bottles

of bourbon. I'm not talking secondary, I'm talking like $500 bottles. And this idea came to me

when I started seeing lots of people dismissing the new Daniel Weller release because it's 11 years old and only four proof points higher than their standard Weller 12 offering. Now, granted, there's some different yeast drains and some different glass changes, but Buffalo Trace is putting a price tag that is around 900% higher. So does Bourbon need $500 bottles? In the second half, we look at

distillery tasting kits. Four Roses recently announced theirs, and people are getting

amped up for it. However, many distilleries have done this in the past and failed. So has the

time come when we could see this

trend start taking off? With that, enjoy this week's episode. And now here's Fred Minnick with

Above the Char. I'm Fred Minnick, and this is Above the Char. This week's idea comes from

Christopher Patton, who's had a question read here before on

the Burbun Pursuits Above the Char, and he asked a question, if you look into a crystal ball,

what bourbon or from what distillery would you guess might overtake Buffalo Trace

Antique Collection and the most sought after in 10 to 15 years.
