The Neat Pour

We are especially excited about this episode. We took a trip to Louisville,  a few weeks ago. This time around we hit local spots, a couple of breweries and of course distilleries.  

Time flies when you are drinking good bourbon. The Neat Pour has been in full swing for a year. What better way to celebrate than to pop open a bottle of Old Forester's Birthday Bourbon to mark the occasion and reflect on the amazing bottles we have had during this time.  We also want to thank all of our amazing listeners for your support and suggestions. We look forward to bringing you all more content. 

In this episode, we dive into two Heavy Hitters, Bull  Run & Mayor Pingree.  Both are single-barrel store picks from Off-Premise a local shop in Chicago. They are big bold bourbons, with hints of sweetness and full of spice. We also discuss a bit of bourbon news and Nik's interesting cryptocurrency story that he had to use to purchase one of the bottles.

We are back from our 2-week hiatus, in this episode we discuss two of our favorite bottles from Wild Turkey as well as,   Starward, an Australian Whiskey that is hitting the market. 

In this episode, we are drinking local. F.E.W Spirits an Evanston, IL native and also only a mile away from The Neat Pour studio is dropping some award-winning spirits with their Immortal Rye. 

In this week's episode, we dive into some love from Kansas City.  We discuss how J. Rieger's whiskey was revived in 2009 as well as sip on some Martin City Anniversary Stout.

In this week's episode, our beer world meets our bourbon world. Nik came across Sagamore Rye after learning that one of our local  Chicago breweries, Begyle uses their barrels for one of their award-winning barrel-aged stouts Imperial Pajamas.  We decided to give it a spin and it did not disappoint. Tune in as we break out this Rye Whiskey from Baltimore, Maryland, and as usual, Nik drops some liquor history facts. 

In this week's episode, we discuss two highly recommended products. Old Scout's Smooth Ambler Rye and Boondocks. First time having both products and turned out to be pretty good buys for under 50. 

In this week's episode, we sip on Barrell Craft Spirit's newest release Barrell Seagrass that is a blend of American and Canadian rye whiskeys and finished in Martinique Rhum, Malmsey Madeira, and Apricot Brandy casks.

There is a  lot of heat in this episode.   Hitting the Beam Suntory lineup, Knob Creek's 12 Year and  Baker's 7 year came with the heat. After coming across an article about Baker's being most overlooked, we had to give it a try and was not disappointed. We also discuss a trip to F.E.W Spirits in Evanston.
