So, where do we start with this story? The Duke, I suppose. His name was John Wayne, born in 1907 and passed in 1979 at the age of 72. A storied life with many accolades. It’s insane. Looking further into the life and history of this man, it’s a tough focus on the whiskey. There’s a lot to go through. A lot of stories, critiques, etc. I’ll leave you with a little fact. After his passing, Wayne’s family was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal. Among the statements sent to Congress, Frank Sinatra was a participant, even though they had some disagreements in the past.
