  • E345 - A Midwinter Night's Dram
    Mar 27 2026

    A Midwinter Night's Dram is a whiskey that has been historically sought after. Once a combination of well aged rye from from Barton and MGP, this whiskey is now a combination of High West's own distillate and MGP. How does it taste? You'll have to listen to find out. In this episode, we wax poetically about MWND in the past and we have high hopes for the future. During the tasting, we got a bit sidetracked by the return of our co-host Steven and by large shipping lables. After all is said and done, we give you our honest and candid assessment of this bottle from last year.

  • E344 - W.L. Weller Antique (OWA) Store Pick
    Mar 24 2026

    We've been fortunate to pick at Buffalo Trace multiple times. In this short, we taste and review an OWA pick that we helped select about six months ago. Big thanks to Nick and Ryan for letting us take part and including us on the pick. We still think OWA is one of the best whiskeys for the price. But, what about single barrel selections? Are they worth the premium that they command? Give us a listen to find out.

  • E343 - New Releases From EverNorth Spirits
    Mar 20 2026

    We've talked about EverNorth Spirits in previous episodes of the podcast. EverNorth was founded by The Bourbon Junkies and they have been putting out some excellent whiskey over the past few years. In this episode, we dive into tasting and reviewing some of the newest releases from EverNorth. The 6th batch of Spirit Walker is known as "Kentucky Cobbler" and it is a dessert-ish whiskey that is finished in an array of different barrels. In addition to the Cobbler, we taste and review Crimson Hollow which is a blend of well-aged bourbon and light whiskey finished in Kelvin barrels. So, where to begin? Give us a listen and let us know what you think about these two new bottles from EverNorth spirits. In addition, you also get to hear some great conversation and may even some singing. Cheers.

  • E342 - A Conversation w/ Jarrod Record (Barrel King) & Alec Balas (Whiskeyland TV)
    Mar 17 2026

    In this episode, we sip and chat with Jarrod Record who is the co-founder of Barrel King and Alec Balas who is the co-founder of Whiskeyland TV. You've heard us mention a bit about Jarrod in past episodes when we've reviewed Barrel King products. However, having him in the basement to answer questions gave us a whole new perspective and appreciation for his bourbon journey and brand. Alec is essentially a bourbon filmmaker and he brings unique perspectives about the spirit through his ability to visualize and tell stories about everyone connected to the industry. Individually, both Jarrod and Alec have fascinating stories, but their upcoming collaboration is something you'll definitely want to check out. Together, they are launching a YouTube based whiskey series known as "Mixx Tank" which promises to bring whiskey collaborations and exceptional content with the hopes of enhancing the bourbon community. This new collaboration is a small part of a larger conversation filled with laughs and perspectives you could only get from people that are ingrained in the industry. Flanked once again by guest co-host Ryan Alves, we feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to sit down with Jarrod and Alec for this enlightening and fun conversation.

  • E341 - Larceny & Elijah Craig Store Picks
    Mar 13 2026

    Over the past few years, you've heard us say many positive and negative things about Elijah Craig's barrel program. For this episode, we taste and review two different Elijah Craig barrel picks and one Larceny Barrel Proof pick that were selected by one member and many friends of the podcast for Bros Liquor in Davis, California. Will we pass, try, or buy? You might think you know the outcome, but it may surprise you. As per the usual, there will be blinds and all kinds of other fun stuff (like a recap of the Brewzle event at Dark Arts). Cheers.

  • E339 - Green River Wheated Bourbon + Surprise Blinds
    Mar 6 2026

    Green River is the "Whiskey Without Regrets." In this episode, we welcome back our friend Jason to the podcast and he brought the brand new Green River Wheated Full Proof Bourbon as well as a Green River Wheated Single Barrel Store pick from Liquor Barn. In addition to tasting and reviewing these two bottles, we also incorporated some surprise blinds from the basement and from our community. Green River has been putting out some tremendous stuff so you will definitely want to hear our take on these new wheated offerings. Spoiler alert - this was a the last episode we recorded on a very busy evening so things got a little spirited.

  • E338 - Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project
    Mar 3 2026

    Buffalo Trace Distillery’s Single Oak Project (SOP) is the ultimate in bourbon exploration. Consisting of different mashbills, wood, and a host of other unique variables, this grand experiment boasts 192 unique bourbons with 1,396 different flavor combinations. With this experimentation, Buffalo trace aims to have it's consumers isolate and compare every variable that shapes what ends up in the bottle. Our good friend Jason brought bottle of SOP for us to taste and review. Mistakenly, we thought this was a rye when it was really bourbon with rye as the predominant flavoring grain. At any rate, we had a a lot of fun with it and would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that facts are indeed optional when it comes to bourbon. Enjoy the short!
