In this episode of Bourbon ReviewZ, Zach is flying solo again after last week having guest Dion Braet visit the studio to discuss yeast and its relation to Bourbon. Zach did a quick recap of that episode, and then jumped into some details regarding oak barrels, char levels and how they impact bourbon. He starts off with a smidge of history, a little bit of the importance and a dash of science. Listen in to learn more about the barrels! If you want to dive a little deeper, here are two articles that Zach references that you can read for yourself!

After that, he did a review of the BOURBON OF THE WEEK! A throwback to a bourbon reviewed in the youtube videos. Tune in to find out which one it is, and if it received the coveted #SoGood Stamp of Approval!
The show concludes with a brief preview of next week's episode, which will be about Age, Proof, Storage and Climate.
