How to Drink Bourbon, Tequila and Other Spirits with the Drink Neat Guys

July 24th is National Tequila Day, but for the Drink Neat Guys, everyday is tequila day… except maybe for Timmy. We didn’t get together on the 24th, but we did the following day. Join us as we look at Manik Reposado, El Tesoro Reposado, Hussong’s Reposado and the surprising Kirkland Signature Anjeo from Costco.

Tequila is one of our favorite spirits and should be savored and not just thrown back like an over anxious frat boy. Join us and drink tequila the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

We are back together for the first time in forever and to celebrate, Tim breaks out Knob Creek 9, 12 and 15 year old. Video will soon be available on our YouTube channel.

Today, we take on The Rock’s tequila, TEREMANA. How does it rank compared to some of the other tequilas we prefer? And what does Timmy think? That’s the real question.

Today, in honor of the Kentucky Derby, we discuss the Mint Julep.

Tim shares a bargain bin find with a selection of Sierra Norte Whiskeys. Join us as we find out if it was a good decision or not.

We are notorious gin-bashers, but we are the Drink Neat Guys and we want to bring you our takes on “Other Spirits”. Gin is an “other spirit”, right?

In all seriousness, we took this opportunity to expand our horizons and tried Bombay Dry Gin (86 proof), Castle and Key Restoration Gin (106 proof) and Ryan Reynolds’ very own Aviation Gin (84 proof).

Let us know your thoughts.

In this episode, we look at the Sazerac and the Manhattan, both made with Bulleit Rye.

* Sazerac * Peychaud Bitters * Absinthe * Sugar Cube * 2 Oz Rye Whiskey * Chill a rocks glass with ice water. In a mixing glass, combine 3-4 dashes of bitters and a sugar cube. Muddle then add whiskey and ice and stir. Discard the ice water in the rocks glass and coat the inside of the glass with Absinthe and discard the rest. Strain the whiskey in to the rocks glass, garnish with lemon peel and enjoy. * * * Manhattan * 1 Part Sweet Vermouth * 2 Part Rye Whiskey * Angostura Bitters * Combine the whiskey, sweet vermouth and a few dashes of bitters in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir. Strain the mixture into a chilled rocks glass, garnish with a cherry and enjoy.

We are continuing to practice social distancing while recording our podcast. Timmy did a bourbon drop so that we could try some new favorites. Watch as we sample Henry McKenna 10 Year Old, Pinhook Bourbon Country and Bulleit Blender’s Select.
