Chris from Bourbon Of The Week joins us and he is determined to make May #BottleKillMonth. Tune in to see what he feels like is a good time for people to finish some bottles and clear some space. We also discuss the recent Weller Millennium release announcement. And then we let ChatGPT lead our discussion for some of this episode.

Albert, Googs and Heisey get together and review the Stagg they recently acquired. And talk other stuff as well!

Next Albert and Zack review the Bhakta Armagnac Cask Finish Bourbon. A more expensive bottle than the rye blend, see how we compare them and if it is worth grabbing instead of a Pappy!

Albert and Zack sit down and review the 1928 Bhakta. A 70$ bottle that is a blend of Rye, Calvados, and Armagnac. If you are only into bourbon this might be just thing for you to try to expand your horizons!

We catch up with each other and recap Vinnie’s trip to Albert’s house and the Weller blind they set up. Someone leaves behind their Pappy bottle. Heisey’s kids want to be just like him! And we review the Breckenridge High Proof Blend.

Join the gang with our guest Steve Berman (@Bermansbourbon) in this adventure of an episode. We were lucky enough to meet Steve in person two months ago and this guy has already become a great friend. Steve started his whiskey career while Kentucky and joined an internet scene in the early stages of bourbon social media. We talk about how he ended up in Kentucky and how he moved to Canada of all places, where the whiskey hunting is very different. Following along and give Steve a follow. Oh, and make sure you rate and review the podcast!

The guys and Sam do their best to remember the long weekend in the finger lakes. We recap the trip a little and go over the day we spent at Finger Lakes Distillety, from bloody Mary’s, a distillery tour and how we narrowed it down to actual barrel pick as a group.

Albert, Vinnie and Heisey host Phillip Wilson, one of the owners from Pour More. Pour More is a whiskey subscription for anyone from beginners to the experienced whiskey drinkers. We chat about their business and how this came to be (because guess what, they love whiskey also). We also get into their barrel picks and do a review of their single barrel Short Barrel Rye pick as well. See what these guys have to offer and if it could be something for you! And Phil cannot escape without going through a Vinnie rapid fire segment.

Another Spirit With Character Local Distillery Series, featuring the owner and master distiller at Hartman’s Distilling. We get into his early days of Kentucky trail experiences and the decision to start a distillery. The double gold award that took them by surprise in San Francisco. Special barrels set aside for the Buffalo Bills and Sabres as well what it is like to age barrels in Buffalo.

In our Spirit with character local distillery series we sit down with a Jamie Oakes, a distiller from Tamworth. In our short time or exploring whiskey Tamworth really sets the bar for craft distilleries. A well thought out company in New Hampshire who is not afraid to take risks (like using a castoreum) but also is extremely well thought out in what they want to put out on shelves. They are rooted in history and hold close their ties to Grover Cleveland and the Bottle In Bond Act. Do not let a few unique whiskeys deter you, this bottle in bond 4 and 7 year are great! With many other offerings from brandy to vodka and gin. We also get to know Jamie and his experiences of classes with distillers from Texas and what it is like to work for Steven Grasse “punk rock prince of small-batch spirits”
