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.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
