This episode of The Bourbon Case Files features a meaningful pour of Larceny Barrel Proof as Nick is joined by Chris Ochoa, founder of effNETS. While savoring the sweet, bold notes of this Heaven Hill release, Chris shares how he got into bourbon tasting, but also how life took a turn when his wife was diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer. That journey inspired the launch of effNETS, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing research and supporting families impacted by this rare disease.

You’ll hear the history behind Larceny, taste impressions of this barrel-proof favorite, and most importantly, learn about the many ways effNETS is making a difference. Nick and Chris discuss the organization’s upcoming charity golf tournament on November 21st, future events, and the growing community support behind the cause.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
