Jim Gaffigan has unveiled his latest comedy endeavor, "Live from Old Forester: The Bourbon Set," a special dedicated to his burgeoning interest in the world of bourbon. The performance was recorded at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts in Louisville, with the stage artistically adorned with oak barrels.

This venture is directly linked to Gaffigan's own bourbon creation, "Fathertime Bourbon," a small-batch, high-rye Kentucky bourbon. Launched in 2024 with a college friend, the bourbon is named to evoke moments of peace for fathers and features his grandfather on its label.

Gaffigan expressed that the special allowed his "love of bourbon lead the way," questioning if it's a passion or a mid-life crisis. He chose not to release it on a major streaming platform, aiming instead to share it with fellow bourbon enthusiasts.
