Bourbon Matters is a podcast created for those who simply just enjoy drinking a good bourbon. Our goal is not to persuade you on what you should or should not be drinking, but to make you feel like you are having a bourbon night with some of your closest friends. As we all know, a good bourbon is meant to be shared with the ones we love!
