In the oopsisode following the interview, Shannon, Eddie, Stephen, and Mark all sit down for one last addendum to the interview they did on The Chimera Snare by writing team S & E Black. In this unique oopsisode, the group samples not one, but two bourbons they've had before. Stephen and Shannon try In Lieu of Flowers while Mark and Eddie sample Redwood Empire's Emerald Giant.

On this episode of BBB, Stephen and Mark get to sit down for an extended interview with the husband and wife writing team behind S & E Black, author's of The Chimera Snare: Fragments. Shannon and Eddie are simply amazing people. Kind, funny, and thoughtful, we had a wonderful evening getting to know them, their work, and what's on the horizon for them.

Our featured bourbon for the evening is Angel's Envy Triple Oak. It's an appropriate expression for us to try with this particular episode. Deep, layered, and nuanced both in craft and flavor, it matches with with our interview with Shannon and Eddie as well as the complexity of the story they are sharing with the world.

Because we run out, we also try a bourbon with a good cause by the end of the episode. As many of you know, Stephen's daughter has a rare condition known as Joubert's Syndrome. In order to raise money for research into this disease, the Joubert Syndrome Foundation is selling a bourbon of their own! This LIMITED TIME OFFERING was picked by Stephen and Mark themselves in a comparison with four other blends. They think you will absolutely love it, not to mention it's Bourbon With A Purpose. If you would like to support the cause and get a truly special bourbon expression, follow the link at the bottom.

Honestly, we didn't forget anything, but there's just so much going on in that book we could never get through it all in an hour. Tonight we revisit Keeper's Heart.
