Michael Veach is a man who knows his bourbon. Not just because he enjoys Kentucky's signature spirit, but because he's also one of the nation's foremost bourbon historians.
Veach is associate curator of special collections at the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, and the author of the new book Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey: An American Tradition. In his recent interview with WKU Public Radio, Veach told us about the many tall tales he had to debunk surrounding the history of bourbon.
Here are a few web audio extras featuring Veach that we didn't have time to include in the interview we aired this week:

Veach gives his reaction to a recent episode involving Maker's Mark, which saw the company reverse a decision to lower the proof of its famous whiskey in order to create more product.
