Bourbon, Neat

Apr 4, 2024
Fr. John and Fr. Sean reflect on the aesthetic and communal aspects of bourbon drinking inspired by Walker Percy's essay. They discuss the decline in appreciation for bourbon, the importance of conversation and community, and explore the virtues of moderation and responsible drinking. The conversation extends to the impact of alcohol on the body, societal views, and the intersection of Stoic philosophy with contemporary culture.
