This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes you on a ride with a lawyer. His guest is Brian Haara, author of Bourbon Justice: How Whiskey Law Shaped America. He tells Big Chief about how he would review old litigation and how he stumbled on an interesting case from the late 1800's about The Old Pepper Distillery. This led to him finding more and more cases in the Kentucky State archives, which led to Fred Minnick pressuring him to write a book about the stories that marketing fails to tell. And just like that he had a book - well sorta. Listen to the episode for the rest of the dram. Brian sips on a Woodford Reserve barrel pick to start the show and Big Chief starts with Marker's Mark FAE-02. In the second half, the guys sip on Elijah Craig Barrel Proof - Heaven Hill has never missed the mark with this expression. This ride on The Whiskey Trip is an example that there are stories buried that need to be told. Thanks to guys like Brian the consumer can be told the truth and learn the facts of these historic whiskey law cases. Cheers!

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief traveled to Frankfort, Ky, for Bourbon on the Banks where he celebrated his 50th birthday. He had the opportunity to record a live show at the Kentucky History Museum with eight of his friends from around the Bourbon community. He started with Kelly Tennile and Brian Haara discussing Brian's book “Bourbon Justice” and whiskey on the reality TV show Moonshiners. He then invited Master Distillers, Lisa Wicker and Denny Potter, to talk about their new adventures and the rise of American Single malt. For the second half he started with Walter Zausch, from Whiskey Thief Distilling, and April Weller Cantrel, from Leiper's Fork Distillery, to discuss Craft Distilling on the American Landscape. Big Chief finishes the show with two legends of the whiskey industry, Andrea Wilson from Michter's Distillery, and Freddie Johnson, from Buffalo Trace Distillery. They discuss Bourbon tourism and the great experience of the Bourbon Trail. Freddie ends the show with a toast to Big Chief and to turning 50. All the guests sip on a single barrel Bourbon from The Whiskey Thief Distilling Co., who was the sponsor for the event. This ride on The Whiskey Trip was an adventure and the first live show with many family and friends in attendance to show their support for the big man. Cheers!

Brian Haara is an attorney, a whiskey enthusiast and the author of "Bourbon Justice".  Brian's book tells the story of bourbon through the history of the legal system.  So much of what we know about pre-prohibition bourbon is based on court records from lawsuits.  It seems big-time distillers aren't a bit shy about arming themselves with lawyers (then or now).We talk with Brian about some of the most notorious characters and distilleries in bourbon history on Side A of the show.  On Side B, Brian shares with us some of the music that he listened to in his youth and what he is enjoying today.  Then we start scratching the surface on some "music justice" and a few landmark legal battles in the music industry (Led Zeppelin, Napster, etc.).The playlist this week is deep.  We share with you some of Brian's favorites and then give you the songs involved in copyright fights back to back ("Stairway to Heaven" vs. "Spirit" by Taurus, for example).  So, listen for yourself and make your own judgements!https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6pMlBCojFBfGpx6ZygEvS5?si=23c7a1f7a673479cPlease subscribe, like and share.  Leave us a comment, too, about the show and "Bourbon Justice"!#BourbonTurntable #Bourbon #Whiskey #BourbonJustice

Bourbon is a uniquely American spirit and has played an outsized role in developing aspects of American law. Bourbon history is peppered with dramatic legal battles and legal (and illegal) innovations, whether it's laying the foundation for trademark protections or establishing the concept of brand name in the 1800s. Brian Haara, attorney and author of Bourbon Justice: How Whiskey Law Shaped America, explains how bourbon is legally defined and explores this American whiskey's shady past and the legal concepts “that bourbon built,” from trademark to consumer protection to truth in advertising.

I'm diving into our archives and presenting one of the amazing sessions that we held back in May of 2020 at the first and only Whiskey From Home event. Many people asked if another Whiskey From Home event would ever happen... and I thought long and hard about what it took to make this happen. Whiskey From Home had over 15k people stream it live during the height of COVID and, to be honest, it was a true sense of accomplishment. It was the first large scale virtual whiskey event and it was a true collaboration effort from everyone involved. Here we are a few years later and everyone wants to get back to being in person so that's why WFH was sort of a one and done. However, I want to share with you a session by Brian Haara, you know him as Sipp'n Corn on the roundtable and our resident law expert, as he dives into why E.H. Taylor Despised George T Stagg and more bourbon stories from his book, Bourbon Justice. If you're a bourbon geek like me, you will love this session. You can also watch this and all other sessions that are available on our YouTube page. Show Notes: Get Bourbon Justice on all book store locations! @sippn_corn Support this podcast on Patreon

This week we are getting in the “spirit” of the first Saturday of May; a date that is sacrosanct for many Kentuckians because of the running of the Kentucky Derby. A love of horses and bourbon whiskey are high on the list of things that Kentuckians are proud of and want to export to the rest of the world. Bourbon is big business in our region and has had a surge in popularity over the last decade; around 90 percent of all bourbon is produced here in the Bluegrass State. At no other time of the year is bourbon more popular in Louisville KY than during Derby season. Our guest this week, Brian Haara, is an attorney who developed an interest in bourbon through his work in the industry. He started by writing a bourbon history and law blog and has been featured in bourbon documentaries. His book, Bourbon Justice: How Whiskey Law Shaped America, is a deep dive into the history of bourbon law that goes back almost to the founding of our country and highlights how bourbon cases have affected all types of commercial law, including consumer protections and trademark law. He wanted to tell the stories of how our country and bourbon grew up together. He is also a bourbon connoisseur who gives tasting notes on various bourbons on his blog and throughout the book. He chats with us about how he fell down the literary “Poe” hole as a teen, how Victoria's Secret benefited from bourbon law, and he gives me and Carrie some suggestions of bourbons to buy for the bourbon drinkers in our life; whether they be newbies or long time fans.

What is whiskey law? … And how has it impacted America’s history?   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Brian Haara, author and an attorney at Tachau Meek, to discuss his recent book, Bourbon Justice: How Whiskey Law Shaped America.   Bourbon and the law might seem to be connected in only a few, and negative ways, but the real history of bourbon, hidden beneath the surface, “is the foundation of American commercial law and its relation to American history as a whole.” Relying on actual case reports and trial records, Brian recounts the history of Kentucky’s most famous spirit and the families who developed one of America’s first major industries to trace important developments in U.S. business law in areas including branding, trademarks, environmental law and other aspects of business dealings.   In today’s episode, Aaron and Brian analyze how historical laws about bourbon have impacted, and continue to impact, the law today. Drawing clear connections, Brian and Aaron talk about commercial law, trademark law, environmental law, competition law, and more. Brian shares the origins of “branding,” explaining that the history and roots of brand-name come from bourbon law. Aaron and Brian talk about our country’s earliest consumer protection legislation, including the crucial Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Brian and Aaron discuss a wide-range of whiskey topics as well, such as the differences between whiskey and bourbon and the definitions and the criteria each spirit is held to, as well as the importance of whiskey tax to our nation and how Kentucky became the epicenter for bourbon production.   Brian is a public speaker, legal writer, and co-managing partner of Tachau Meek, PLC, a business litigation firm in Louisville. A University of Kentucky Law graduate, Brian primarily serves the trial and litigation needs of clients in the financial services, insurance, and bourbon industries. As part of his practice, Brian represents both individuals and businesses, handling commercial litigation matters such as contract claims, trademark disputes, retail banking and UCC claims. Brian regularly litigates non-compete, unfair competition, trade secret, and breach of fiduciary duty cases, including injunction hearings, in state and federal courts in both Kentucky and Indiana. Brian has also been consulted in restrictive covenant matters in numerous other states.   A self-described whiskey enthusiast, Brian found a way to combine his love of bourbon and history with his passion for the law. Bourbon Justice is a fascinating look at our country’s heritage through the lens of bourbon. “Tracking the history of bourbon and bourbon law illuminates the development of the United States as a nation, from conquering the wild frontier to rugged individualism to fostering the entrepreneurial spirit to solidifying itself as a nation of laws.” More than just a true bourbon history, this book analyzes key moment’s throughout America’s past, identifying important milestones that continue to influence our laws and society today.    To purchase a copy of Brian’s book, please follow the link here.

Bourbon whiskey has been around since nearly the beginning of the United States. Given that longevity, it has been part of the corporate law of the United States since the beginning of the corporate law of the United States. My guest today Brian Haara traces that interconnection in his new book Bourbon Justice: How Whiskey Law Shaped America (Potomac Book, 2018). “Bourbon,” Haara writes, “is responsible for the growth and maturation of many substantive areas of the law, such as trademark, breach of contract, fraud, governmental regulation and taxation, and consumer protection.” As Brian traces the influence of bourbon on American legal history, and of litigation on the history of American bourbon, he also provides tasting notes for bourbons with connection to the cases he’s discussing. It’s an especially nice touch in a very nice book. Cheers! Al Zambone is a historian and the host of the podcast Historically Thinking. You can subscribe to Historically Thinking on Apple Podcasts.
