This week on Inside the Ropes, we’re diving into golf's biggest ghost story: Rory McIlroy goes radio silent after his driver fails a USGA test, sparking headlines and hard questions. Then we cross the pond (sort of) as British judges hand out bourbon medals and snarky praise in our favorite whiskey write-up of the year. Finally, we take you behind the scenes at Hill Top Distillery in Virginia, where tradition, military grit, and damn good bourbon collide.

Three stories. One pour. Don’t miss it.

In this episode of Bottle Share: Spirits & Pours, GolfCask founder Brian Bailie sits down with Becky Harris—chemical engineer turned Chief Distiller and co-founder of Catoctin Creek—to explore the bold, spicy world of rye whiskey.

Voice computer generated. GolfCask Life Spotlight SeriesLet’s get real for a second—this edition of GolfCask Life Magazine isn’t just flipping through pages. It’s stepping into four immersive experiences that define the GolfCask lifestyle: golf, whiskey, cigars, and adventure.

We tee it up at Birdwood, a historic gem in Virginia redesigned by Davis Love III. It’s where college golf, classic design, and fall traditions collide—especially when Irons & Oak returns this October.

Next, we pour into Three Crosses Distilling, a veteran- and woman-owned powerhouse in Powhatan, VA. From solera-aged bourbons to smoked Old Fashioneds served on barrel heads, this place bleeds craftsmanship and heart.

Then we light up the Padron 1926, the Rolls Royce of cigars. Espresso, dark chocolate, and swagger rolled in Nicaraguan sun-grown leaf—this is the post-round legend-maker.

Finally, we drift down under to Brisbane’s Death & Taxes, a moody, mural-guarded speakeasy with 1,000 bottles and a whiskey list that could double as a novel. The Aussie pours may not all be world-beaters, but the atmosphere? Next-level.

So whether you’re chasing birdies, drams, or new destinations—this Spotlight Series reminds us why we do it: the pursuit of excellence, one story, one pour, one par at a time.
