    Sometimes you need to make a detour. We had planned to continue our Italian theme this week with a visit to Rome, but we couldn't arrange an interview in time. Instead, we're heading to Paris, for the first of two episodes on bourbon in the City of Light. We visit the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Musée Rodin, Eiffel Tower, La Maison du Whisky, Vin et Whisky, The Whisky Shop, Mayfair Garden, Santa Carne and Essaouira. Plus, we explain how a Parisian booze merchant changed the way many of us enjoy bourbon,  the classically American spirit.  Follow us on Instagram @bourbonabroad and visit BourbonAbroad.com for photos and links and to subscribe to our newsletter, the Bourbon Abroad Bulletin.Support the Show.
