$34 Million Debt in 7 Days: Is the Bourbon Bubble Finally Popping? Plus we do a Cutwater Challenge.

Описание: This week on Barstool Perspective, we are diving into a massive $34.5 million distillery bankruptcy to a surprising change of heart from the American Heart Association, the rise of Irish Whiskey, and our own Cutwater Challenge.

In this episode:

The Bourbon Bubble? We discuss the closure of Luca Mariano Distillery in Danville, KY which shuttered with a staggering $34.5 million in debt despite only being open for a week.

The Rise of Irish Whiskey: While American whiskey exports struggle with tariffs, Irish whiskey is booming, seeing a 25% increase in sales to Canada alone.

The Cutwater Challenge: We put the viral sensation to the test. Does the White Russian canned cocktail that we're trying really taste like a "crispy gym sock," or is its 80% year-over-year growth justified?

Health & Policy Updates: We review a new study suggesting moderate alcohol consumption can actually aid heart health through stress reduction, while the WHO pushes for a "three times" tax increase on alcohol and sugar by 2035.

Meta’s Alcohol Ban: Mark Zuckerberg’s latest move involves delisting alcohol-related content from Facebook feed algorithms, making it harder for breweries and wineries to reach their fans.
