Last month’s raid on the Justins’ House of Bourbon stores in Kentucky brought a multi-state and federal investigation into the spotlight.

The Herald-Leader’s Janet Patton broke the story and joins us this week on WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, distilled spirits sales outpaced beer for the first time during 2022, while Scotch Whisky exports set a new record.
