Bourbon & truffles? Maker's Mark adopts puppy to hunt truffles at its distillery farm

In one hand, I held a gold rush cocktail with a sliver of truffle resting delicately atop an ice cube, and with the other, I scratched the top of a mesmerized puppy's head.

The new working dog at Maker’s Mark Distillery, Star, was obsessed with the garnish in my drink.

Really, everyone involved with the company’s new truffle program is, too.
