Dads Drinking Bourbon

The Dads are joined again by our friend Ryan Lay as well as our friend Deshon Batts in a jam packed episode full of first a side-by-side of four different proofs of Stagg Jr. in order to pick our favorite. We then gave Ryan a shot at redemption as we put the Stagg Jr. in a blind against George T. Stagg and 128.1 Proof EHT Barrel Proof in order to see if hype prevails or if an underdog will emerge.

Wait, what?! Yes, you heard it right, John and Zeke dive into the world of bourbon barrel stouts with Black Belle from Blackstone, Willettized Coffee from Lagunitas, and Bourbon County from Goose Island. We apologize in advance for not stating (it's John's fault for being sick) but to be honest, we would buy all of these retail but would order them at a bar rather than paying secondary. How did we rank them? Listen and find out!

John and Zeke are again joined by Ryan Lay, and although it didn't snow in Nashville, the dads brought some to town through Stranahan's by reviewing their "Snowflake". To make it interesting and accessible, they put it up in a blind tasting against the Stranahan's Yellow Label and Sherry finished whiskey along with a bourbon from Distillery 291, also out of Colorado. How did they do in the blinds? It might make you #rethinkhowyoudrink

So you want to open a craft distillery? Sounds good in practice, but listen as the dads were lucky enough to sit down with Heath Clark to learn what actually goes into it. This episode is full of great information as to how the H Clark Distillery started and how it got to where it is now. Don't say we can't get serious, because you may walk away with a lot of knowledge from this one. Thank you Heath for the time and great whiskey!

The dads discuss Blade and Bow and Zeke's time at their Nashville whiskey release party with our friend Ryan Lay. Diageo is hoping to make this an "everyday rare" which begs the question if it beats the everyday rare that we already know in Weller Special Reserve. Ryan is someone John and Zeke text regularly about bourbon, so you may get an insight into some of what we might talk about with each other daily about bourbons and brands.
