In this week's episode of Bourbon: Legends from the trail, we will hear part 2 of Crown of Shadows: The Prohibition King’s Rise and Fall.

As George’s journey takes him to Cincinnati, he steps into a world where wealth and corruption go hand in hand. Surrounded by marble, gold, and opulence, he quickly rises to be the King of the Underworld. But his ambition and charm have their limits—and cracks begin to show, not only in his empire but in his marriage to the captivating yet dangerously impulsive Imogene. With powerful friends in high places and enemies lurking in the shadows, George’s world spirals into chaos as the authorities close in.

We’ll dive into George’s empire at its peak: the splendor, the deception, and the alliances that led to the legendary party that inspired a classic novel. But as the saying goes, all empires will fall. Betrayal, forbidden passion, and a high-stakes game of revenge bring George’s world crashing down, leading to one of the most sensational murder trials of the century. Will the King of Bootleggers escape unscathed, or will justice finally catch up to him? Join us for Part 2, where legends rise and fall in a blaze of glory.”
