A Million-Dollar Putt, a Supreme Court Wh***ey Fight & a Million-Yen Pour
This week on GolfCask Flights, four stories take us from a basketball arena to the Supreme Court, with stops in Puerto Rico and Japan.
Tony Finau steps onto the hardwood for a pressure-packed putt worth a $1 million charitable donation. The U.S. Supreme Court prepares to consider a challenge involving America’s 1868 ban on home distilling. In Puerto Rico, cigar maker Liz López carries a family craft forward through loss and resilience. Then we travel to Japan for an extraordinary wh**ky pilgrimage featuring rare pours, legendary distilleries, and a million-yen price tag.
Also, stay until the end for Missed the Cut, featuring five more stories that nearly made this week’s flight.
