Ginny Tonic will freely admit that she knows bourbon, is above average on American whiskeys and has a passing knowledge of scotch. That said, her experience of Irish whiskey almost entirely consists of shots of Jameson done at the bars. That fact made Ginny and Charlie doubly excited to sit down with three single malt samples from Knappogue Castle and explore the taste this week. Join them as they explore a 12 year, a 14 year and a 16 year!

Episode 115 is heavy with the cajun spice this week. First Ginny and Charlie attempt to remember and retell all of their Mardi Gras experience before delving into True Detective and exploring some apps to help you drink beer. They end with a bourbon from Columbus and a big mouthed band from New Orleans.

Ever have one of those nights? Charlie and Ginny Tonic did last night so today's show is all about hangover cures. Join them as the re-enter life after helping to bring a little New Orleans to Cincinnati this week and flash back to episode #54 of the Charlie Tonic Hour where this Bottoms Up segment was first aired.

Ginny and Charlie love beer, Cincinnati, and the Olympics and this week they are talking about all three. A discussion of Cincy Winter Beerfest leads into other must-do activities for people new to Cincinnati and then Charlie explains his love of the Olympics. We share a margarita with a surprising ingredient and then close with a song from Florence and the Machine.

This week Ginny and Charlie explain why you should drink your dessert with a look at Southern Tier’s Creme Brulee Stout. This sweet beer hits all the right notes and it turns out it makes a really tasty ice cream float as well. Download today to get all the details!

Have you ever wanted to sit in a room and listen while a bourbon expert asks ten different master distillers questions about everything to do with the bourbon industry? Ginny and Charlie were lucky enough to have that chance at this year's Louisville Bourbon Classic and this week they are presenting that Master Distiller's panel to you in its entirety. After a quick intro, you will get to share that same experience before we close with a quick follow-up drink of Ranger Creek's .44 Rye Whiskey.

American whiskey has an outlaw reputation but Ranger Creek Brewery and Distillery named their rye whiskey after a peacemaker. Ginny and Charlie picked up a bottle of their .44 Rye Whiskey at the San Antonio Cocktail Conference to review on the show. Download to see what we think and get the whole story of this unique whiskey.

On this week's show Ginny and Charlie explore an overflowing handful of apps and websites that have caught their eye in the past few months, review The Calorie Myth by Jonathan Bailor, try a Sixpoint Hi-Res beer to earn our latest beer badge, and finally we end with Ginny sharing her newest girl-group crush, HAIM. 

This week Ginny and Charlie explore one of their favorite discoveries of the San Antonio Cocktail Conference: the barrel-aged Waterloo Antique Gin from Treaty Oak Distilling. This is a gin unlike any you’ve had before and you are going to want to listen as we check it out.

We are talking bourbon and drinking gin this week as Ginny and Charlie bring back reports from the Bourbon Classic in Louisville, sample Watershed Four Peel and Bourbon Barrel Gin, then discuss a Russian novel just for the hell of it. A song from Passion Pit closes the show but the fun doesn't stop there.
