Description

During Prohibition, a legal loophole allowed doctors to prescribe whiskey for “medicinal use”—and patients could walk away with a 10-day supply. In this episode of Whiskey Rocks, we’re joined by Dr. Rob and Dr. Dave, two of the co-founders of Ten Day Bourbon, a bold brand bringing that rebellious spirit back to the glass.


We explore:

•The wild true story behind prescription bourbon during Prohibition

•How two real-life doctors turned that history into a full-flavored modern whiskey

•The science, creativity, and grit behind Ten Day Bourbon’s unique approach

•How they’re breaking norms in an industry steeped in tradition

•And of course, a tasting session that blends medicine with mischief


Whether you’re a whiskey nerd, a history lover, or just into drinking with purpose, this episode is your prescription. Pour a glass and discover how Ten Day Bourbon is rewriting the rules—one dose at a time.
