This Week's 5 For Friday: Move Over Tiger King 👑

What I’m Watching:

Chimp Crazy is a 2024 TV mini-series that delves into the peculiar and intense world of Tonia Haddix, a former nurse-turned-exotic animal broker. The show explores her life as she cares for animals in captivity, mainly focusing on her deep attachment to one chimpanzee. Her relationship with this animal takes a dramatic turn, leading to a high-stakes confrontation with the authorities and an animal rights group. This real-life story, featuring Tonia Haddix and narrated by notable figures like Alan Cumming, weaves a compelling narrative of loyalty, legal battles, and the complexities of exotic animal care.

Bourbon I’m Drinking

ABV: 50%
Average Price: $73
The Whiskey:
The first Frank August whiskey is a sourced bourbon. It is made in Kentucky and aged there. The team at Frank August then takes roughly 10 to 15 barrels per batch and painstakingly builds this bourbon to fit their desired flavor profile. The whiskey is then lightly proofed down to 100 proof before bottling.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: The nose is pure classic bourbon with hints of salted caramel with a twinge of soft grains next to spicy cherry syrup, a whisper of sour apple, and a touch of aged oak staves soaked in mulled wine.
