Since we're all at home looking at all the beers we've been collecting for years, it's a good time to open some more of them. Because of the breadth of their collections, the Barrel to Bottle Crew was lucky enough to have some overlap. Except Greg, who likes to actually drink the beer he buys. 

We asked for questions and you asked us questions. Lots of questions. This week the Barrel to Bottle Crew will answer 19 of your burning questions. What's the best way to store wine? Is this bottle worth anything? Does lactose effect a beer's shelf life? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Mezcal, it's not just smoky tequila with a worm in the bottle. On this special Whiskey Hotline & Friends edition of Barrel to Bottle, Pat, Brett and friend-of-the-pod Monique Houston are going to help demystify mezcal. 

Drink along at home with the following mezcals:

• El Buho Mezcal Espadin
• El Buho Especial Tepeztate
• Siembra Metl Don Mateo Cupreata
• Mezcal Don Mateo de la Sierra Pechuga
• La Luna Mezcal Manso Sahuayo
• La Luan Mezcal Chino
• La Venenosa Raicilla Tabernas Maximiliana White Label
• Mezonte Tepe Agave Spirit

This week on Barrel to Bottle we're doing another blind taste test. Because that's the best way to test anything, in the opinion of the Whiskey Hotline. Speaking of which, we've got a Whiskey Hotline quorum this week, with Pat and Brett Pontoni stepping up to the mics. Also along for the ride is longtime Binny's buyer Mike Baba. Greg and Roger round out the panel. Five hosts, 10 whiskeys and only you'll know what they're tasting. 

Blind taste along at home with the following spirits:

• Old Forester Statesman
• Cream of Kentucky 11 1/2 year old
• Evan Williams
• Maker's Mark Private Select Whiskey Hotline
• Clark & Sheffield Small Batch
• Redemption High Rye Bourbon Binny's Handpicked Barrel 11
• Sam Houston 12 Year Old
• I.W. Harper
